New Stationery Product to Benefit Pink Initiative and Breast Cancer Awareness

Joyful Heart Design To Donate Proceeds of New Stationery Product to Pink Initiative in Support of Breast Cancer Awareness

Lubbock, Texas - October 6, 2009
Invitation and stationery company Joyful Heart Design has designed a new product to benefit Pink Initiative in response to Pink Initiative’s Be the Change $10,000 Challenge for October and National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. The product is a set of note cards displaying a silver princess crown printed on white linen paper and embellished with a pink jewel. The set comes wrapped with pink ribbon and is being sold by Joyful Heart Design on the company’s website, www.JoyfulHeartDesign.com/pinkinitiative or by calling 806-787-1450.

Pink Initiative is a community of wedding industry professionals passionate about funding awareness, outreach, education and research for breast cancer. “During our first twelve months, Pink Initiative’s board of directors and our growing group of vendor sponsors have taken our message to heart proudly displaying our logo on websites and blogs, spreading our message on Twitter, and kindly giving more than $7,000 thus far,” reported Emilie Sommer, founder of Pink Initiative and professional photographer with emilie inc.

Joyful Heart Design will also donate 10% of proceeds from all invitation and stationery items containing the color pink which are purchased during the month of October to Pink Initiative.

“I am honored to be a Pink Initiative sponsor and hope to inspire others with these products and encourage people to celebrate life now,” said JoDitt Williams, founder of Joyful Heart Design.

An updated report of funds raised to date can be found at http://pinkinitiative.org as well as a list of participating wedding vendors, fund raising ideas, and information on how to become a pink initiative sponsor.

Zoo Theme Little Girls Birthday Party

Jennifer recently contacted me and asked if I could change up my Zebra Print & Pink Ribbon Baby Shower Invitation a little to make it a birthday invite for her 2 year old little girl. They were going to have her party at the zoo and this invite would be just perfect.

I said, "Absolutely! Everything I do is custom-designed, so that is no problem."

After the party she sent me some photos and they are SO adorable that I just had to share them.
(with Jenn's permission, of course.)

Isn't she a cutie!!! And look at that amazing cake!

I bet those little girls had a blast at her birthday party at the zoo.

Here's what Jennifer wrote:
We loved the birthday invitations and stationary you made for our
2 year old!  They were perfect for her party and the turnaround time
was amazing!  Thank you so much for doing such a fabulous job.

New Product Launch - Mommy Cards - Enter to Win a Set Today

Today Joyful Heart Design is launching a new product - Mommy Cards.

In case you haven't heard of these yet, Mommy Cards are an easy yet stylish way to give out your contact information, whether you are a stay at home mom, work at home mom or working mom.

Similar to business cards, Mommy Cards present your name, phone number email address, and your kids' names, yet they do it in a fun, fashionable and very functional way. No more fumbling around in your diaper bag or purse for a pencil and scrap of paper when you meet someone new or whenever you need to give out your contact info.

Joyful Heart Design now has Mommy Cards available in six different styles, from elegant damask to bright, colorful flowers to wildly fun zebra and leopard prints. Each style is available in five different color combinations.

To celebrate our product launch, and to help moms go back to school in style,
I am giving away a set of 100 Mommy Cards. This is a $47 value prize!

Unique Fall Wedding Invitations in Burgundy and Orange

Are you looking for unique fall wedding invitations with a modern design... with something other than the traditional fall leaf or pumpkin icons? My "Sassy Sunburst" design was created with you in mind. The stylized sunburst is warm and inviting. It is fun, yet formal; bold, yet simple. The squash orange and garnet red sunburst could be used on save the date cards as well as on other wedding accessories, decorations and favors to carry the autumn theme throughout the entire wedding and reception. At Joyful Heart Design, we give you lots of options to customize and personalize your invitations to make them uniquely yours. For instance, look how different the invitation can look just by changing the color of the pocketfolder.

Pair the invite with a Cranberry Red or Burgundy pocketfolder for a very rich, almost regal look. Add an orange mat (invite backing layer) to accent the names printed in orange text.

The Copper metallic pocketfolder adds a warm glow to the invite. This color combo would go great with a rustic, outdoor theme as well as with a glamorous theme that incorporated lots of shimmery metals, like gold, bronze and copper.

Changing the fonts used can also dramatically change the mood and style of the invitation.

For a more formal, very elegant look, pair the autumn invite with the Champagne metallic pocketfolder, a Tuscany Sun (burnt orange) mat, and a satin burgundy ribbon.

You can also add further customization to the invite by adding embellishments like ribbons, seals, jewels or crystals. This Sassy Sunburst Pocket Wedding Invitation matches the Autumn Sunburst Save the Date Card design that I blogged about earlier.
