Kites of Love

I was inspired one day to illustrate this design for an invitation card. Someone had emailed me a card of a man flying a kite, and I thought, why not a couple with their names engraved in the sky?

If you like this design, please come by and have it printed with Cardblanche so I can see it come to fruition.

The latest ribbons & bows

Here’s a range of lovely invitations I’ve done recently with bows and ribbons.

Red and silver.

Red and purple.

Gold, pink and brown.

Thank you for your support!

I’ve been greatly encouraged by the couples who have taken time to drop me a little message to thank me for their wedding stationery. Life feels a little better when you hear that the work you’ve done is cherished by the people who matter.

“Hi Allison, thanks a lot! The cards turn out really nice! Even chris likes them by looking at the pix. (=” ~ Christopher & Vivien
“Many thanks for the cards and envelopes! Everything was very well done and guests were most impressed by the quality of the cards and programmes.” ~ Charlotte & Aaron
“Thank you very much for the fast and responsible job. They’re very beautiful. I’ll recommend my friends for you next time.” ~ Thu & Tuan

“love it very much! Tq Allison!” ~ Justina & Desmond

And last but not least, I have to thank Jovelle & Indra for their enthusiasm and appreciation in the things I did for them. I am heartened to meet people like them.

Three months on…

It’s nearly three months since I’ve gone solo, running Cardblanche by myself. It has been a very busy time, juggling jobs and taking care of the babies at home. I try to do whatever I can when they are napping – emails, tying ribbons, folding stuff… And when I go to the studio I work as hard as can be. It’s been somewhat fulfilling and gratifying that I can somehow do this on my own and be able to keep going. What makes it so good is when satisfied clients say thank you when they collect their stationery from me. I try my best to make everyone happy, and I do work hard for my money, so your appreciation really counts in motivating me to do what I love to do.

I must thank heaven as well, for guiding me. I’m always thankful for that.

A Moment Captured

A couple requested for their photo to be incorporated into their Thank You cards. We used the monogram that was on their invitations and integrated the design with their photo. Simple and sophisticated.

Do note we charge a small fee to touch up and enhance photographs for use on invitations etc.

Thermal Embossing

Whilst we don’t feel that printing effects are truly needed to enhance the design of an invitation, this one here is something that would definitely impress and not in an over the top manner.

Subtle and sleek, thermal embossing involves having raised text in the colour that your invitation is printed in.

Printing effects like hotstamping and embossing are very traditional and common, so thermal embossing could be an option for you should you wish to add a unique touch to your invitations.

They require a minimum of 100 invitations, do email us for details.

A Suite of Blossoms

We’ve done our cherry blossom design for many couples, but what we love about this one is the cohesiveness of all the various items in the set, matched together perfectly.

There was an invitation, a reception card, and an info card with map.

We did a nice map with simple lines and markings. It’s perfect for many directions in places like the UK.

Radiating in the Summer

Here’s a perennial favourite – the “radiating” motif – in a yellow and a lime green colour scheme. Both exude summer warmth and excitement.

Lovebirds

We recently did these invitations featuring birds.

These are from our newest collection, and these couples had completely different colour schemes for the design. Both looked great!

Whilst the yellow and brown version is sunny and cheery, this navy and pink one is sweet and spring-like.

The adorable bird couple was matched by lovely calligraphed names.
