Welcome to my portfolio. Below are examples of invitations, logo designs, wedding details, and other freelance work I have completed in recent years.

While I have cut back on my freelancing workload in recent months, I do post occasional projects here from time to time. I also operate my Etsy store on a seasonal basis - please feel free to visit and browse prints and other items available for sale.

The new look of Liz Ink & Paper.

Almost three years ago, I unexpectedly lost my day job.

Two weeks later, fueled by panic, faith, and an uber-supportive hubby, I launched Liz Ink & Paper.

Yes, there are a few more details to the whole story, but that’s the synopsis in a nutshell. I do believe some of the best creative ideas come in the wee hours before a deadline, and I am proud of what I came up with for a brand back in ’08, crunched for resources – time, energy, research. I originally focused on a niche of invitations, baby announcements, and holiday cards. While those projects are still near and dear to my heart, I am anxious to work a bit more with small business clients and find a balance in my brand that caters to both types of clientele.

A move from my old website seemed a fitting time to take a fresh look at Liz Ink & Paper and what I want it to be. The new design reflects more of my typographical design style. The color palette is much more neutral than the previous “cute” pink and brown, and the fonts are cleaner and bolder. The tagline remains the same, although I will most likely only use it when marketing to the personal clients.

I’m very excited about this fresh new look the role it will play going forward. Thanks as always to the Liz Ink clients for your support – here’s to an amazing fourth year in business!

Here’s to Erin, Rob, and July 2nd!

Now that Liz Ink & Paper has made the move to the new blog space, I can finally post a bit more about these preppy summer invitations! You may remember journalist-turned-bride Erin’s newspaper reference in her save-the-date…

She wanted clean and modern, and to downplay the pink in the actual invitation. What we came up with was a crisp and bold but still elegant. Love her colors! We continued the reference to journalism in her RSVP postcards that accompanied the invite…

All tucked together in a navy diagonal pocket enclosure.

Here’s to a fabulous celebration on July 2nd, and to a fabulous marriage!

wedding invite sneak peek and upcoming changes!

I've been dying to give you all a peek at these preppy cute wedding invites and now that I hear they're in the mail, I can give a little taste! A bigger post is coming with more detailed shots, but I'm waiting on my new little corner of cyberspace to do so.

That's right…Liz Ink & Paper (as well as my personal blog, Everything Yellow) will be moving to a brand new site. I'm streamlining my everyday life with my dabbling in design and putting it all in one spot. My life and work seems to overlap and intermix…why shouldn't my webpage? :)

Until then…have a peek at these oh-so-fun-to-work-on wedding invitations, packaged and ready to be sent to a gorgeous July bride…click to view the photo in great detail.

When filling a recent order for some Hip Mama calling cards, I realized I don't have (and thus have not posted) any photos of the real deal, in printed tangible form. I have been very pleased with this printer I discovered last fall – the paper is a nice thick stock, the color reproduction is spot-on, and the UV gloss coat makes these extra durable! Plus, who doesn't love a little corner-rounded die cutting? Here are a few shots so you can see what these babies look like in real life – not just designs on a computer screen.

Bear with me as I'm still learning this brand new camera! Here you can see the glossy finish…

And here they are, packaged and ready to ship to their new home!
