Simply Sunday: Mothers Day

Posted May 13th, 2012 by Sean Phillips with No Comments

This is just a quick post to share a little project that my kids and I did for their Mom for Mother’s Day. Melanie and Andrew created a word cloud shaped into the word LOVE using Tagxedo with a bunch of words that they thought described their mom (spelling mistakes and all!).

I suggested that we include a portrait of the two of them using the letter O as a frame. We printed it and found a really cute wrought iron easel to hold the finished product. Priceless!

Santa Baby – Christmas Greeting Cards

Posted October 14th, 2011 by Sean Phillips with No Comments

It’s just about time to start thinking about your Christmas greeting card order for this year! While I still have many of the designs that were available last year (in both flat photo cards and traditional press printed flat or folded greeting cards), I also have a number of new designs and an all new boutique line of Die-Cut cards.

Boutique cards are press printed on traditional greeting card stock. They are also die-cut to create basic shapes, curved shapes, scalloped edges, geometric and ornate designs. Die-cut Cards may be provided with sticker or magnet backings for fun gifts and year round display for your friends and family. These are a premium press-printed product that you are not likely to see from any of your friends! They are available in several shapes (Round, Square, Rectangular, Ornate, Scalloped, and more), and sizes (5×5, 5×7).
