A MUSIC FESTIVAL WEDDING IN THE REDWOODS



How fun is the inspiration behind this wedding suite?  I had a good time working with this music loving couple to incorporate some unique elements that would reflect their wedding weekend.  I loved the brides idea to make the envelope liner redwood trees! The floral colors on the suite were chosen to reflect gem stones, the colors the bridesmaids were wearing.  So much fun to create.

NEW GREETING CARDS IN THE SHOP!



I've listed a few new single cards.  When I take photos like this, it makes me so happy to see how my line is coming together. Crunch time to NSS (less than two months away) and I'm still over here painting my buns off. Lots more to share soon. 


XOXO

Bailey & John-Michaels beautiful wedding in Puerto Rico last fall.  I had so much fun working with Bailey to create all of the fun, vibrant stationery.  The ombre lettering was totally her idea and I LOVE how it turned out!

LATELY : STUDIO SNAPS







Snaps of some projects; client work, shooting my first ever wholesale catalog, and miscellaneous painting for NSS.  Also, the last few photos I took of my home office before I started to pack up everything to move into my new studio space.  It's taken awhile to finish but I can't wait to get in there! And also to share the crazy before and after photos.  So much has been going on lately with the growing of this business, I've been wanting to update more but time gets away from me as I have been painting as much as possible to finish up my line for NSS.  Once I make this move into my new studio and finish up my catalog I will have lots of exciting things to share! 

I am doing a pop-up shop with my friends Camilyn Beth and Influence Style to benefit Selah Freedom this evening. Local friends (Bradenton/Sarasota) please stop by! 


Happy Weekend! 
XOXO

LATELY : SOME WORKS IN PROGRESS






Hello! I have been slow to catch up on the blog this month but I have some sort of okay excuses:

  Client work has been at it's busiest as I work with brides for spring weddings. I've got some stylish, design loving gals right now and I couldn't be more excited about making their wedding stationery visions come to life. Plus a few other interesting client projects I'll be sharing soon.  

I am also finalizing the last bit of designs I will be showing at NSS in May.  I am so excited to get everything I've been working on to the printer and see the final products.  The above photos are some greeting cards in progress. Then the fun part of shooting a wholesale catalog is one of the biggest things I have left to do.  This will be fun for me to style, play with flowers, and shoot myself. Can't wait to share some sneaks when that gets underway next month.  

AND I decided to move my business out the house (finally!) and into my first official studio space. The last photo is from painting the walls in the new space this past weekend and a little sliver of my view of our downtown area.  I seriously can't believe this is happening.  We have some more work to do before I can officially move in (ya know, since I wanted everything to be all white. lol).  So many mixed emotions about this next step.  Growing is scary but I am so thankful it's happening. 

You guys are wonderful, all the nice words on social media about my Hallmark collab was overwhelming.  Big thanks and XO's.

BTS: SHANNON KIRSTEN x HALLMARK COLLABORATON + AN INTERVIEW









I'm so excited to be featured on Hallmark's blog Think.Make.Share this week! You can read the little interview on our collaboration and my art / inspirations in general.  It was so much fun to work with Hallmark on this collection.  The final printed product turned out beautifully.  You can shop these four cards just in time for Valentines Day at your local Gold Crown store and online at www.hallmark.com 

XOXO

HELLO FEBRUARY : A DESKTOP DOWNLOAD


Helloooo February! How did we just let January fly by like that?! It's crazy. 
I am in full blown production mode for NSS 2016 and also tending to custom wedding suites for Spring.  Lots of pretty to share soon! 

And...


I'm so excited to start offering a monthly desktop /iphone download. I've always loved this idea but had a hard time committing in the past. I paint lots of little extra florals for various projects and some never get used for anything, I thought I would start turning them into fun freebies when I have the time.  I vow to try my hardest to get them up a the first of every month! 

Hope you enjoy! 
XO
