Pop-Up Shop & Lettering Workshops In Palm Springs

12/2/2018

0 Comments

 

​I did my first pop-up of the season this weekend in beautiful downtown Palm Springs hosted by Interstellar Comic Books & Gifts. In the last year, I’ve only done a total of three pop ups and I’ve thoroughly enjoyed each and every single one of them because of the connections and friendships I’ve made.
The first two times I participated in an event I was selling Lipsense and while I’m still a Lipsense distributor, I put that on the back burner to focus on the stuff that makes my heart sing; creating unique, colorful hand lettered gifts and greeting cards featuring puns and feel-good phrases in English, Spanish AND Spanglish.
Below is a short compilation of my Instagram stories that I shared the night before the event as I practiced setting up my display. Let me know what you think!
Aside from doing pop ups around town, I’ve also decided to host hand lettering workshops in my home and in the homes or business locations of friends and family.
So, if you’re in the Coachella Valley and you’re interested in hosting a lettering workshop or pop-up shop, please send me a note! I’d love the opportunity to co-create an event that is fun for all.

The 5-Day Stationery Crash Course

I'm so happy to announce the launch of the 5-Day Stationery Crash Course! Often times, the only thing separating people from their dreams is not knowing where to start, which is what inspired me to create this course in which I will share the tools required to pursue a career in custom stationery design. I will break down information and lessons into steps that are easy to complete and understand, as well as provide insight and design tips. I also mention a few lessons I learned the hard way, allowing you to learn from my mistakes so you don't have to make them yourself. 
Upon registering for the course, you will receive your first lesson, and one daily thereafter for a total 5. Here's a list of the topics we will cover:

Daily Lessons
  • The tools of the trade: Introduction to the tools every designer should have
  • When to put forth your BEST work: Because sometimes the project comes with limitations
  • Designing with purpose: Setting project goals so you know when you have achieved them
  • The elements of good design: 8 design guidelines you must follow at all times
  • Pre-press terminology and how to submit a quote request to a print shop: An accurate quote request will result in accurate estimates, pricing and client invoicing. 

Who is this course for?
This course is for entry level graphic designers, digital scrapbookers and any paper lover who wants to learn the business of designing custom invitations & stationery for weddings and special events. The Crash Course does not include software tutorials, so you much already be comfortable behind the computer in order to benefit most from this crash course. 

Value
I am currently working on a 7-week in-depth course that will be worth 12 times more than The Crash Course available today. By enrolling in The 5-Day Crash Course at an introductory rate of only $29.99, not only will you gain momentum in your journey to becoming a creative professional, but you will be a few steps ahead of those who sign up for the full-course once it opens for enrollment later this summer. Students of The 5-Day Crash Course will receive special early bird pricing for the full-course, where I will guide you through the entire process involved in the creation of custom design work. Because running a design studio takes a lot more than sitting down at the computer working on your designs, as you will soon find out.

Ready? Grab your favorite drink (I'll take a soy vanilla late please), click on the button below and let's walk you through the door that leads to this amazing career that 18 years later I still love and enjoy – and I hope you will too!

Puppy Baby Shower Invitations

I'm very excited to share my newest baby shower collection with you today!
My new "Bandana Doggy" stationery theme was actually born last summer as I doodled away in my office, taking a break to do a little creative exercise. I kept that day's doodle pinned to my bulletin board for several months - this little guy was just too cute to discard! It wasn't however, until some time last month in February that I finally had the chance to transform my doodle into a digital illustration and begin the process of creating this set, complete with invitations, custom postage, party favor stickers, address labels and thank you cards - all available in my shop at PaisleyInParis.com
