THOUGHTS ON HOLIDAY CARD TRENDS FOR 2015

MERRY LESS IS MORE!



I've been so perplexed by trends in Holiday cards these past few years.  Forgive me for being so blunt but aren't a lot of them looking a bit, um, BUSY ? 
 Most of us follow each other on instagram and we're lucky enough to see what our children and pets are up to, pretty much on the regular.  My goal this year is to make your card stand out from the sea of mass produced cards with a zillion photos that kind of end up looking like your facebook wall,  #busy #help !! 
Remember, we have been in business for almost 14 years. My design background with Ralph Lauren and Celine will NEVER leave my soul. When coming up with concepts for this Holiday, I just wanted to be able to breathe.   How nice is it to appreciate an actual photograph, enhance it with some design, color and that little something to make every card special ?
This year, we would LOVE to declare a return to classic, simple, chic Holiday cards.  Of course we've added our own little signature 'twist'.  We hope you like them as much as we do. For the full line of cards please visit www.PRETTYPRINTING.com
Merry + Happy everything !!

Happy Fall Y'all!  Did you miss us ?

 So it's been a long long time since we've blogged !  Really, does anyone read these posts ?
I am told that YES, you actually do and you'd like to hear from us, so here goes.
Pretty Printing is so so special to me.  So many things inspire me when I design, and designing is simply what I LOVE to do most.  Whether it's a scarf I buy, the knit on a sweater my 8 year old daughter is wearing, or something that jumps out at me from a magazine.  I love combining my love for fashion and design and making it come to life with anything from a phone case to a holiday card.  My latest obsession this Fall is PLAID.  Take a look at our lumberjack plaid phone case.  It's absolutely DARLING, don't ya think ?
