New Birth Announcements

Once again, I've been drawing up some new birth announcements! :) These are so fun to make! Can you tell that I enjoy it?!?!

Birthday Party Invitations

In the last couple of weeks, I've had several people ask me if I make Birthday Party Invitations. I've done a few over the past year, and I just finished making invitations for a dear friend w/triplets. I had the MOST fun designing it! The invitations that I design for birthday parties are actually 4x6 photo cards, so the invitations themselves turn out as unique as the children for whom they were created. The invitation is created around the picture sent to me by the parents. Once I have the picture and a general idea about the party, I start drawing!

I've included the 3 invitations in this post. If you're interested in ordering invitations for your child(ren), just email me! Due to the time that it takes to create a unique design for the invitation, I would contact me 3-4 weeks before the birthday festivities! This will give me plenty of time to tackle the design, tweak it with you, have them printed, and ship them to your house! Rush service is available.

Fun, new items, fonts, and pictures for kiddos!

It's been a busy Spring and Summer here at Keep in Touch Stationery Co.! I've added some new items, fonts, and pictures (for our Keep in Touch Kids line). One of my dear friends from college took advantage of the Summer Sale that I had last month! She's having twin girls (doesn't that sound SO FUN!?!?), and she picked out the cutest things for them and herself! As I packaged her order and prepared it to ship, I was squealing with glee like we girls often do! (I think my husband thought I was CRAZY!!!).

Everything she bought was SO CUTE that I just HAD to take pictures of it to post on my website!!! After snapping the pictures, I realized that her order included all new things available through Keep in Touch Stationery Co.! The first picture shows her twin daughters' new Bag Tags. I love their names AND the cute Bag Tags that she chose! This is one of 2 new Bag Tag designs that I released this spring. The cards for Mom feature her name in one of four new fonts. This font's name is "Chocolate" and is shown here in, ironically, chocolate brown! Don't you love the pink/chocolate brown combo in the stationery & Bag Tags? Also, the last picture highlights my favorite little caterpillar. I've had this caterpillar's brother in my catalog since last year. He's green & blue, and he is one of the favorite images put on stationery & Bag Tags. I've had several customers ask me for the "girl" version, so I worked on adding this sister this Spring. Isn't she cute?!?! She, too, has become one of my most popular images on Bag Tags and stationery!

I hope that you enjoy the pictures! Let me know if I can help you with an order! In the mean time, let's KEEP IN TOUCH!

For those of you brides, Keep in Touch Stationery Co. is your one-stop shop for all of your wedding needs! I have a stationery catalog just for brides! It allows you to order larger quantities of stationery at a discounted price. I know that you have LOTS of thank you notes to write!

I, also, have special pricing available for Hostess gifts. Who doesn't love personalized stationery!?!? On a side note--that's actually how Keep in Touch Stationery Co. got started! I made personalized stationery for the Hostesses for my baby shower. One of the women asked me if I sold the cards...and the rest is history!

The pictures above are cards that I designed for my friend, Laural, who will be getting married in 2 weeks. :) She wanted thank you cards for her bridesmaids and wedding party, and she wanted them to say more than "thank you." The card pictured is for her bridesmaids. The cards for her wedding party (I failed to get a picture!) were the same design in red and black and said "Thank you for being a part of our wedding." These are also available to you, brides. :)

Happy wedding season everyone! In the meantime, let's keep in touch!

Free Fridays in March--Week Three!

UPDATE: Before you post a comment, make sure to read below. :) There's something that you have to include in your comment to be entered in the drawing. :) (Hint, hint...go vote!)
It's WEEK THREE of FREE FRIDAYS IN MARCH! I'm formally introducing another new Keep in Touch Stationery Co. product today! I designed these Birthday Cards in November for a dear friends baby shower, and I've been selling them ever since! However, I wanted to officially introduce them this month along with the other new products.

The Birthday Card set includes 18 cards and was originally designed to use at a baby shower. Those attending the baby shower can write prayers, funny stories or memories, words of encouragement, or questions for the child to ask his/her parents about their memories from that age. On the child's birthday for the next 18 years, he/she will receive that year's birthday card from his/her parents. It's a wonderful opportunity to cover this precious life with words of encouragement and prayers throughout the next 18 years of his/her life--all before entering the world! Please read my original post in November about the set (designed for a girl) and my February post revealing the set for little boys! Both posts have more pictures of some of the 18 cards!

I have already sold several sets of the cards, and I have some creative customers, who have found other fun ways to use these cards! One customer bought a set for her soon-to-be 1 year old daughter, and she is going to have those attending her daughter's birthday party to write notes in the 18 cards. Another mother bought a set and is planning to write a special message to her daughter on her birthday from year to year. She wanted her to have a "keepsake set" so that her daughter can keep them and read them again and again. Another customer bought a set to use simply for birthday cards! If you have young children like me, you know how many birthday parties we're invited to! What a great idea to have a "stash" at home. No last minute trips to Target to buy a $3 card!

The Birthday Cards are the third "FREE FRIDAYS IN MARCH" item. This week I need your help! Currently the "First Birthday" card in the "girl" set is a pink sheep with yellow and pink polka dots (so cute!). I recently used the pink sheep for some invitations, and I used pink and brown polka dots (also, so cute!). (In the pictures above, the last two pictures are examples of what I'm referencing.) So, I'm thinking to change the card from pink & yellow to pink & brown. So, when leaving your comment, you have to vote "pink & yellow" or "pink & brown" to officially be entered in the free drawing. Leave a comment below before 11:59 pm (CST) on Sunday, March 22, and I will pick one lucky customer to have a free set*! Check back on Monday to see the lucky winner!

Also, I'll go ahead and tell you the SURPRISE for those of you that don't win. (Yes, I have something for everyone!!). These Birthday Cards are "Buy 1, Get 1 Free" through March 31. The set of 18 cards/envelopes sells for $20, so through the end of the month you can get TWO SETS FOR $20. That's an excellent deal! Don't forget to look back at the items from Free Fridays in March--Week One (Happy Birthday Enclosure Cards) and Free Fridays in March--Week Two (Thank You Notes w/Bible verses) because they, too, are "Buy 1, Get 1 Free" through the end of the month. :) They're SOOOOOOOOO cute!

Have a great weekend! In the meantime, let's keep in touch!

Free Fridays in March--WEEK ONE!!!

As promised, it's "Free Fridays in March" at Keep in Touch Stationery Co.! I have LOTS of new stationery products that I'm excited to introduce (and give away!!) this month!

The first new item is the Happy Birthday Enclosure Card. I've been making personalized enclosure cards from very early on, BUT sometimes, you just need something a little more "generic" (i.e. non-personalized) to have around the house. For example, I made CUTE enclosure cards for my family after our first son was born. (I mean...REALLY cute!) Our second son came along 2 years later, and his sweet name is NOT on the card. So, I have a drawer full of enclosure cards that I can't use. (Well, I'll admit it. I've used them...and just penned sweet baby boy #2's name on them. Hello, I AM Keep in Touch Stationery Co., why don't I just make more? Oh, great idea! I'll do that. Why have I not thought of that previously?? I digress...)

The beauty of these Happy Birthday Enclosure Cards is that they are "generic" and can be used by any of the kiddos in your home! Your child will LOVE these cards because he or she can write his or her name on the card! Can't you just hear it now, "I can do this ALL BY MYSELF." Mommy will LOVE these cards because there's no last minute Target run to buy a $3.99 birthday card! (Tip for moms--my mother-in-law leaves her enclosure cards in her car, so she has them readily available for "emergencies.")

So, "Happy Birthday Enclosure Cards" meet my wonderful customers. Wonderful customers, meet "Happy Birthday Enclosure Cards." These are available in sets of 10 cards. They are $8 without envelopes or $12 with envelopes. Also, there are 4 different designs to chose from as shown in the pictures above. (I LOVE my little worm. Can you tell I'm obsessed with it?!?!)

The Happy Birthday Enclosure Cards are the first "FREE FRIDAYS IN MARCH" item. Leave a comment below before 11:59 pm (CST) on Sunday, March 8, and I will pick one lucky customer to have a free set*! Check back on Monday to see the lucky winner! Also, when you come back on Monday, note the SURPRISE for those of you that didn't win. (Yes, I have something for everyone!!)

Have a great weekend! In the meantime, let's keep in touch!
