In case you haven’t noticed, I’ve been on a bit of a blog break. I’ve been dealing with some things in my personal life, and I needed a break to do just that – deal. Sometimes life can be scary, or frustrating, or down right confusing. And then to top it all off, I now have a cold. Whaa. You didn’t know you were stepping into a whine fest today, did you?
My faithful readers (i.e. two of my friends) started to ask “when are you going to blog again?” so I figured I should hop on the blogging wagon once again. Thanks for being patient and hanging around, despite my unannounced absence. I’ll get back into the swing of things with a quick little project that I worked up for mi madre. After I threw the greeny baby shower a couple of weeks ago, my Mom said that she was throwing a girly baby shower that could use some rockin’ food tags.
The colors for the shower were chocolate-brown and pink, and these tags had to obviously be more girl oriented than my previous shower. I decided to add a cute little scalloped detail to up the cuteness factor and changed up the fonts to something a bit softer.
I left a bit of negative space on the bottom on the tag so the text and scalloped lines would appear more centered on the tag. Oh, and if you’re looking for these simple card holders, I found them on the most random site, thanks to good ol’ Google. A lot of other card holders out there are too “wedding-y” but these are simple (and cheap) enough to fit any venue.
Of course I rounded the corners to these cards to make them that much more girly. Am I obsessed with rounding corners on everything I print? Quite possibly… but look how cute these cards look! I couldn’t resist. If only I had access to a letterpress, these cards would literally make me DIE with cuteness. Anyone else have a weird obsession like me? Leave some love!
Love the tags! The colors and designs are so cute :)
These are absolutely perfect and what a brilliant idea to leave room for the card holder so it wouldn’t interfere with your design. Its all in the details my friend!
Can’t wait for the girls to see them! They are perfect! Thanks.
How cute! Are you out for hire?
Those are great! Did you do them on Illustrator?
Love them! I wish I had those for a baby shower I hosted last month!
@Amy G: yes, I did use Illustrator for these. I’m slowly learning. :)
@Lytle: I’m always up for a challenge, so sure, I can be hired! :)
The tags are lovely! where can I find these cards?
@Gail: I made these cards myself, using Adobe Illustrator!
Hi … Thank you so much for sharing :)
I’ve read the article and thought the cards were brilliant and had a chic to it.
Can I ask about the material of which you used for the cards? and did you use a specific tool to round the edges?
@Gail: I just printed these on white card stock and used a scarpbooking corner rounding tool for the corners. Hope this helps!
Great! … Thanks :)
