Custom Holiday Cards Give A Personalized Touch!

We always love it when our brides regularly include us in their life events! I love this couple for many reasons, but one of them is I get to be a part of all their life events. This year they contacted me to design their Custom Holiday Cards, they wanted their friends and loved ones to get something personalized.

Aparna and Mike always have flattering things to say, here's what they said about our above creation: "They are absolutely stunning!! I love the paper quality and the shimmer that even comes through in the pictures. The crystals add just the right amount of sparkle, we LOVE them!! Best part is how you captured our wedding color as well as matched our photo backgrounds to the card. I'm so glad I have extra because I really want to frame and put these up next to our wedding stationary! Thank you so much!!

Custom Holiday Cards and Party Invites are the HOT thing!!

I know, some of you will read this and say.. WHATTTTTTT... This year is flying, it is not time for the Holiday's. Well, I couldn't agree with you more, however my clients are speaking with me now about creating custom holiday cards and party invites for them. So after freaking out and consulting the calendar, I realized... it's that time like it or not. The way this year has flown by, This Holiday season will be here before you know it.  And if you want something unique and different for your holiday cards- that means CUSTOM- and Custom means time. You can visit our Custom Stationery Division to see more of our custom work.


I wanted to share some fun holiday things we've done in the past with you, to get your holiday juices flowing. Because if you are thinking about Custom for this holiday season it's time to start,  Design, Printing and Production take time, and to get your card delivered by Late November it's best to start the CUSTOM process before October 15th.

If you don't have the budget for CUSTOM, check out our sister Stationery Line, Paper Couture.  There are some great ready-made options and there will be ALL NEW HOLIDAY CARD Designs uploaded Mid October!  Below are some of the great Holiday Cards currently on the site available for purchase and be sure to check back as the holiday's approach, as we will have all kinds of new designs uploaded!

Our ready made line, Paper Couture has these great Santa Tags.

PLAYGROUND ARTS & MUSIC FEST!--Save the Arts.

This is going to be a political and artistic post. Those who know me wouldn't expect any less. We at 2u here, had the great pleasure of being an exhibitor at the 2nd Annual PLAYGROUND MAGAZINE Arts & Music Festival. It took place Sunday April, 18th at Lake Eola, Downtown Orlando, FL. We provided a booth where kids could come and create their own Mother's or Father's day card. And estimated 500-700 people visited the festival. It had everything from Student Art Exhibits, to Rock Wall Climbing, Drum Circles, World Wide Mushrooms (to be explained in the next post),Community art Projects, our Create a Card Station and so much more there isn't enough room to mention it all. 


Which brings me to something very important and it should be addressed first. As any artist can attest, the experience and culture of being an artist or even just loving art is a wonderful thing that can lift you up and give you courage and purpose as your growing and feel lost. I can say, with an artist soul, sometimes while I was growing up, in class I never felt understood. Then would come ART CLASS. It was fulfilling, it was creative, it was where I felt 100% myself and didn't care I wasn't popular, or dating, etc.  THIS IS WHY SAVING THE ARTS IS EVER SO IMPORTANT. There are students right now, at every age, IN EVERY STATE finding their only identity in ART. Without it in our schools, children and young adults everywhere will BE LOST! No matter where you live, please get involved in your States, "Save the Arts Program."  IT IS IMPORTANT THAN YOU MAY KNOW.


Okay, now I'm finished with the lecture...to the point. There was an exhibitor at the 2nd Annual PLAYGROUND MAGAZINE Arts & Music Festival...Who brought the attention to the fact that ARTS in Florida are INCREDIBLY UNDERFUNDED!!  Please help us save the arts!!!


The Orange County Arts Education Center has taken it upon themselves to educate our community and help try and save the arts in our school.  For more information please visit: http://ocaec.org
And if you are really feeling ambitious, please write you congressman, your senator, your representative... anyone you think will help our voices become LOUD!!
