This holiday season, there’s no doubt that you’ll be receiving a pile of greeting cards in the mail. But if you open an envelope only to see a bold, modern and stylish card with striking photography, it’s a good bet that it was designed by Shelby Allison of origamiprints. Known for her bold (“I’m all about being bold!” Says Allison) use of font and collaged pictures, Shelby’s “Bold Merry and Bright” holiday card is a best seller. Shelby told us which of her cards are her favorites.
I love designing invites, stationery and photo cards the most. That’s where I got my name, origamiprints — the name went well with my goal to combine artwork with paper into an art form.
Here’s a list of my other five favorite products in my store:
New Year’s Trio Photo Card:
Jeaune Amour Vintage Save the Date:
Ocean Waves Wedding Invite:
Ocean Waves Wedding Invite – Blue Gold by origamiprints
For this invitation, I wanted to create a design that was a little bit more unique than your average beach wedding invitation. I just love the way the blue and the gold look together.
Sweet Cakes Baby Shower Invite:
Sweet Cakes Baby Shower Invite by origamiprints
My idea for this design came from my love of sweets! I love cupcakes!
Nautical Baby Shower Invite:
Nautical Baby Shower Invite by origamiprints
For this design, I wanted to create a baby shower invite with a classy and elegant feel. I think the navy, white and yellow color scheme, along with the organization of the text, is what makes the look.
As you can probably tell, my designs are heavily influenced by typography. I love discovering new fonts and typefaces. Each font has a personality of its own and can really transform the look of a product, depending on which one you choose. I think choosing the right font, including the way you organize the layout of your text, can make a world of difference in a design.
