Be NiCE

Well, it's been quite a while since I've entered the blogosphere, and my apologies for being so absent.  I'm the type of person who believes that I should only blog something that I feel is necessary.  There's no point in "talking"{blogging}, just for the sake of it.


Today I have, I feel, a very worthwhile blog post to share with you.

**********************************************************************************
I've been falling head first into the lovely little world of being "NiCE".  I just love it.  It makes me happy.  It makes life sweeter. Richer. More fulfilling. And just plain, "nicer".  


If you have "liked" my Facebook page, you'll know by now that I've designed a range of prints that I sell, that are focused around design, typography, graphics, etc.  But I've designed a new range of prints that I will be selling, that focus on what is really important: and that is Being.Nice.  I capitalize those words because they are so very important to the human spirit and so good for the soul.  Truly.  If we can't be "Nice", what do we really have in life?  Thanks to Operation NiCE, I've been able to witness, first hand, the benefits of being Nice.  And there are so many of them....both when you are being nice, and the recipient of the Nice act. 

From now until the end of August, I will be selling my Nice prints for $12.  

100% of the profits from each print will be donated to a charity of YOUR choosing.  

Each print will be printed on A4 heavy weight, white, textured card stock, ready for framing.  You can also specify the colour that you want your wording to be in. 

So, if you want to be Nice with me, I ask you to make a small purchase of a lovely ~and meaningful~ print, designed by lil ol' me...trust me, you'll feel so Nice after! 


For purchasing details or other queries, please feel free to shoot me an email: thepapercouturiere@gmail.com


Have a NICE day!

Would you choose Wood?

....I hope you said yes!

If you're an Australian bride, and want a wood invitation, it used to be a lengthy search, usually ending up with a studio somewhere in America.  Seriously folks, who wants to pay that shipping charge?  Trust me. It's not pretty.  But, yours truly has solved that problem for you!  *please hold your applause*

Very proudly, I announce that The Paper Couturière is one of only a couple Australia wide design studios that offer wood invitations!

Introducing a new range of invitations made from your choice of wood!  With more than 15 types of wood available from Birch to Cherry, Aspen to Sycamore, and Oak to Mahogany, there is no doubt you'll be spoiled for choice.  Perfect for an outdoor garden, vineyard, or park wedding, wooden invitations are unique, beautiful, and cost effective.

Now, who will be the first client to order a little wooden pretty?

Pictures 1 & 2 are Maple.
Pictures 3 & 4 are Cherry.
Picture 5 is Birch.

engage!10 Bookplates

Many of you know I'm doing bookplates for this years engage!10 Grand Caymen event being held in June.  I decided on 8 each + 200 gift bags = 1600.  Hand cut.  1600.  Hand cut.  Have I mentioned that each book plate is individually hand cut, and I'm doing 1600?

Photos thus far... 125 down, 75 to go.

Engage 10, Grand Caymen Island

It is with much excitement *insert hyperventilation here* and anticipation, that I announce my commitment to contributing to next months Engage 10 Wedding Symposium, held at the Hyatt Regency in Grand Caymen Islands.  Harmony Walton, from Bridal Bar LA, emailed me and asked if I would like to contribute to the gift bags.  As I was reading the email, I promptly fell from chair, clutched at my chest, and began seeing my future flash before my eyes.  Oh yes. All those are GOOD things.

Not sure what Engage 10 is?  It's a "high impact luxury wedding business summit...designed for the wedding industry professional who is looking to take their successful business to the next level."Past speakers have included Colin Cowie, Preston Bailey, Sylvia Wienstock, Mindy Weiss, Amy Atlas, Abby Larson, and many many more.  The best of the best in the wedding industry, both speakers and attendees.  Now can you see why I've been hyperventilating?  Imagine, these people, looking at my products. *Gulp.*

Brought to us by the brilliant minds and collaborative efforts of Engaging Concepts Inc. and Caymen Island Department of Tourism, this event is sure to be a luxurious success, and I'm so proud to be a part of it.

Now..to continue my designs...
