happy holidays during this sad time



For the next few weeks, I will be responding very slowly to emails due to the holidays coming up. I will still be responding and getting work done, just at a slower pace than normal. I have also been having problems with Gmail. If you do not hear back from me within 48 hours, please email me again or leave me a message on Stella Bella Invites Facebook page.

I also wanted to comment on the horrible events that transpired yesterday in Newton. My heart swells with sadness of the innocence lost. I am a teacher and it angers me to think that anyone could actual go into a school and hurt innocent children. Every teacher I know would lay down their lives for their students, just as they did in Newton. Those teachers, the principal and other staff members courageously saved their students and are true heros. My heart and prayers go to the families who lost their sweet young children, and also to the families whose children witnessed these horrible events. I wish that as a country we can find a way to stop these senseless slaughters and learn from what has happened. I don't want to get political, but there are issues that need to be addressed to ensure that someone can never walk into a school again with a semi-automatic weapon and hurt our innocent children in the one place they should feel safe. I hope that everyone this holiday season holds their love ones close and no longer take their families or friends for granted.

Sincerely,
Christine

Printed Cocktail Napkins

I had great success at an Art and Wine festival with printed cocktail napkins. I hadn't had the time to get them ready to show on the internet until now. You can purchase the designs in my Etsy shop. Custom designs are available. Email us for a custom quote if you would like something different or a different quantity. Here are the images of the designs below:












I have also decided to change the name of my Etsy shop to Stella Bella Paperie, since it is not concentrated on Invitations, but more on other paper products. It will be a side division of Stella Bella Invites. Check it out!!

I will also be posting some new work (Save the Dates, Engagement Party Invites and Birthday Party invites, that I have recently given to clients!)

I am hoping to stop neglecting this blog!!

Holiday Card Designs 2012

Another Holiday season is upon us! I love this time of the year and have designed some lovely cards to order for your family and friends. All orders include printing and envelopes (liners are optional and at an additional cost). Here are pictures of the designs I will have in my Etsy shop tonight, I have also included a color chart incase you would like other colors and the pricing guide. If you are located in California, sales tax will be added to your order. All shipments are $10, or you may pick up locally in Burlingame, California.

My Gingerbread family card can be customized to show your family, it can be just two (or one!) we can also add a reindeer for a pet if you would like them represented. This card is great to have a full bleed photo backer on it, so your family members can easily frame the card after the holidays with no writing ruining the picture.
