Having a party - I have you covered for the invites.

Ever since I first had to arrange an event, I knew that you must be flexible with how you contact your guests.

I remember being acutely aware at least 2 decades ago that e-vites were going to be the must have available option.  Being that the world was conscious of our environment and the effect were were having on it, the option to try where possible to go paperless, aim for less waste and more regard for nature and our home, electronic invitations were the obvious choice for the future.

The platform that has been very good to me since I started designing online has listened to my ideas and has made available both printed and digital options for customers. Maybe you want to have your own printed invite as a keepsake and send the rest via digital e-mail.  Maybe you love to handwrite your invites and send them all via the wonderful traditional option of snail mail - who doesn't love a surprise in their letterbox?!

In my online store you have the option for both quality professionally printed invitations, as well as matching digital customized/personalized options for all remaining guests receiving the cards via e-mail or social media.

I've not been very pro-active with sharing my designs on social media or marketing them, so much of my work has been un-noticed.

This post to hopefully get my store - that I've been working on for decades seen by more people looking for truly unique designs for their next social event.

I even have a huge range of business cards, homewares, stickers and more!  Have some free time, then maybe fill it with perusing my store!

Here's my latest design, which features my own ink illustration that I freehand drew, then scanned to make a digital image, then coloured with a range of beautiful gradients to add some colour!

You can personalize this design yourself online here and now for whatever occasion you're planning to have:  Bridal Shower, Birthday, Anniversary Party...

Custom Printed Personalized Name Labels/Stickers

Yes, it's been ages since I've created a blog post. But here I am - at it again... This time to show you all the fun designer stickers available in my store. It all started when I went looking for school book labels for my son. Nothing really satisfied so I tried creating my own. That was when I found out about the history of book labels and that they were called ex libris labels. Traditionally with a gum paste backing. Nowadays it's adhesive backing with stunning quality printing available to you at reasonable prices. These stickers will come printed on a sheet and I'm so impressed by them I've purchased quite a few myself. Make sure to have a good browse of my store area... I've created quite a unique and wide variety of designs to suit hopefully all needs. If there is anything you'd be interested in seeing that is not available - don't hesitate to contact to make a special request.

Brand New 2018 Pip Pip Hooray Business Card Designs

It's been forever since I've blogged.  Something has stopped me from self promoting for quite some time.  It was kind of like I felt sick of having to blow my own horn so to speak.  But without showing my new designs less people have been seeing my new work and so of course my sales are down.

So here I am back again tooting my own horn... if only so I can keep filling the petrol tank to be able to keep doing what I love, which is creating my own kind of design templates in my own time, and just how I want to do them.

Here's a peak at some new business card templates I've designed that are available for sale. I've set up these templates so you can easily personalize them yourself online with your own business/company details.  They come in packs of 100 at extremely affordable prices.  Shipping worldwide.

Remember that these are unique designs available only here in my Pip Pip Hooray online store.

If you're not confident customizing the card templates yourself feel free to contact me or Zazzle customer service for help with adapting your own business cards. (please allow at least a day or so for me to work on or reply to your request)

Feel free to share.

Modern Minimalist Torn Canvas Grunge Appointment Card - This is an image of the traditional hessian canvas fabric used for canvas mounted paintings.  I digitally made it look like each edge is torn to create a unique and dynamic 3 dimensional illusion to this simple card that could be used for any number of professions - framer, artist, fashion stylist, environmental professional?

Premium Black White Lace Ladies Business Cards - These feminine white lace on black textured quality cardstock have a gorgeous detailed lace design that when looking close appear a little like hearts repeated.  A great business card option for wedding trade professionals, wedding stylists, wedding designers, crafters etc?

Hand Drawn Lace Crafters Bloggers Publicity Appointment Card - Another feminine lace design, this time with my own hand drawn lace patterns. These are what I call doodles, where I'll sit down with pen in hand and create repeating designs of whatever comes to mind.  I changed the ink from black to white as i think it works better.  You have the option to change the background color on this design to whatever you like in the customize area.

Contemporary Wreath Type Design Artist Square Appointment Card - Created specifically to fit these gorgeous square business cards is this elegant leaf circle wreath design.  A card to use for the christmas period perhaps or for those that adore nature?

Photographed Floral Hair Flower Florist Stylist Appointment Card - With the help of some very talented designers I created this top draping border with their unique country style botanical flower clip art. Modern, contemporary and uniquely exclusively available in this style here in my store and only my store.

Elements Minimalist Modern Contemporary Business Appointment Card - I had a lot of fun creating this background myself with inks.  A lot of experimentation with color and technique lead to some very dramatic and exciting results.  Expect to see more designs like this from me in future.

Autumn Watercolor Floral Type Designer Artist Appointment Card - Delicate, Autumn colored soft watercolor floral bouquet on soft hand painted splash of color background with your name and profession elegantly portrayed in a hand written typeface.  Modern and beautiful for the modern and stylish woman.

Watercolor Geometric Circle Pattern Template Business Card - I felt a little mathematical and rigid when I was painting this pattern but I loved every minute of creating it nonetheless.  I used complimentary blues, greens and shades of yellow greens to hopefully create what you see as a geometrically pleasing repeating pattern in overlapping colors which is both circles and segments creating star like repeats all at once.  I painted with watercolor on gorgeous textured thick paper so you'll see lovely texture when looking closely at the design.  Again I re-iterate, a unique and exclusive design by myself, available here online in my store and nowhere else.

Geometric Minimalist Modern Contemporary Business Appointment Card - a contemporary and futuristic looking sleek poly design.  In ombre gradual changing aqua/turquoise blue green color tones it stylishly creates elegance simply and dramatically.  Geometric, bold and daring design while also being sleek, simple and understated.
