Adult birthday party invitations

I have just been asked to do a few birthday party invitations for the older generation, i.e. not teenagers or babies anymore. A couple have used my cupcakes for 60th and 50th parties, but I have just added a new section to my website, with only one design at the moment but more to come.

I created a similar design for a clients 30th, take a peep at http://www.cococards.co.uk/cards/Adult%20birthday%20parties.html and don't laugh at the photo!

How we wrap our cards so beautifully

There is a lady called Jean who lives in Macclesfield and picks up all the cards from the printers, checks them, then packs the cards with a lot of love. I want her to wrap my christmas presents!!

Dragonflies

I just love these dragonflies Allie Pottinger drew for CocoCards, I would love to put together a whole stationery range - what do you think?

Bilingual birth announcements and bilingual christening invitations

Seeing as being bilingual is so relevant at the moment to me, I just wanted to say I have designed many bilingual birth announcements, even bilingual Christening invites. One birth announcement was in chinese, english and spanish and I designed a greek christening invite last week, which the lady loved. I cant proof read Greek or Chinese obviously but I can send it to you to proof read.

On the subject of being bilingual, my little daughter just sat down in the cafe with my hubbie and I today and said 'bonjour, jus d'orange please'.

Christmas card designs and a curry

Just finished uploading my new xmas card designs today, bit late I know. But with 3 kids who always seem to be on holiday, lots of orders ( no complaints there though) and being at the baby show, it just did not happen. But October and xmas cards, you just cant can you, november is OK. But is that just me, as if you start buying xmas cards you realise that you have not made the christmas cake again, or you have to start thinking about whose family you will be spending xmas with, always a risky subject in our house. Last year we took the easy option and stayed in Abersoch for the whole festive season, this year I think brother in law Mark should host xmas in his new fab barn, will post details on his new barn later.

So after a busy day or trying to look busy I have attached my favourite design and my man has bought some cheap champers from M&S, chocs and ordered a curry, what more could you ask for, especially when you are on a diet. Still got 2 stone to go, lost nearly 3 now - yippee.

Birth announcement cards

I love designing and getting orders for birth announcements, the only problem is it makes me want another baby, but 3 is enough and at last I am losing weight, so another would be crazy. I am one of the unfortunate few who puts on weight while breastfeeding.

I am going to increase my collection of twins birth announcement cards and triplets, as I feel that it is a bit small at the moment.

I will also design a few more twins christening invitations.

Probably do all this while on holiday in france trying to relax!!!!!

The Baby Website review

I am just about to start a christmas competition with The Baby Website to win 2 sets of my personalised christmas cards, so log on to www.thebabywebsite.com, to see if you can win.

2 members of the baby website have just won 40 cards of their choice, so waiting to hear what they have chosen.

I also asked 3 members to review and try out my cards and this is what they said: 
"Unique!"
I was very fortunate to be able to try these. We ordered the Baby announcements cards and I am well pleased with them. I found the experience truly unique! There were so many designs to choose from, and all of them as good as the next one, We finally chose one which would accommodate a large picture. Family and friends have been very happy to receive them. The cards are also on their way to Mauritius. We ordered the cards on Friday night and they arrived on Tuesday. Communication was great as we received a proof the same night. I cannot Praise this company enough as I have been so happy with the cards. I would rate them 10 out of 10!

"Fantastic service"
I ordered some thank you cards for Lucas to use after his birthday. I ordered the blue dots thank you cards. I received an email from Helen with a proof of the card for me to check & approve, which I did. I received another email from Helen saying that the colours looked too pale when printed and she sent me two other designs to choose from. One was very similar to the one I had chosen, the other had red cars. I thought Lucas would love the cars as he loves F1 etc, so I cheekily said if the cars could be green they would be perfect. I received another email with 6 different car designs that could all be made green. I chose the racing car. I then received another email with the new design to check & approve, which I did. It looked fab in the email.

Within a few days a box arrived from coco cards. The cards were well packaged with bubble wrap in a sturdy box to make sure they arrived in perfect condition. The cards and envelopes themselves were wrapped in tissue paper and tied witha bow, which I thought was a very personal touch. The cards looked better in real life. There is plenty of space for Lucas to write a personal message, and even though his handwriting isn't the smallest in the world he'll still get a good few words written down.

The cards are fab, the company are fab what more can I say?

"I love these and they are a good idea"
I was lucky to be chosen to test out the Mummy Cards, they have all the details on them about you and your baby so your address tel number, babies allergies, drs number, emergency contact etc.

They are fantastic to have in your bag at nursery or with a baby sitter in case of emergency, they are also good to give out at a play group if you want to give another mummy your details but dont have a pen.

Everyone I have shown the cards to thinks they are great. Same as the review above, Helen at Coco cards emailed proofs just to check they were right, we also had a little pic of Jess on them. Then a few days later they arrived through out door.

Now us mummy's can be like slick executives and look really cool with our Mummy style business cards.

Im tempted to get some more when these run out.
