Time to party!
Graduation season is officially upon us and that means one thing…PARTY! I just love graduation parties – the promise of new possibilities, hope for the future, and one chapter ending as another begins. I don’t know about you, but graduation season always makes me want to don a cap and gown and flip my tassel to the other side…all over again.
If you’re planning a party for the special 2012 Grad in your life, we’ve got a slew of invitations options sure to knock your (and their) socks off!
Feature one image of the graduate along with pertinent details.
Or several pictures along with icons and images that are near and dear to the grad’s heart.

The National Stationery Show is right around the corner – only a few short days away! We’re simply giddy with excitement and can’t wait to get there!

Elegant, beautiful, and sophisticated.

NYC – here we come!
We, here at Modern Posh Design, take great pride in our work. So when someone very well-respected within the industry gives us a pat on the back, we tend to beam with pride. We had the privilege of designing a holiday card for none other than Sarah Schwartz, editor of Stationery Trends Magazine. She was kind enough to write this testimonial.
This has been the second year that Julie did our holiday cards, and I can hardly put into words how thrilled we’ve been with the results both times. Last year’s output — based around a photo of my daughter sitting in front of our rhododendron trees — was incredible, and I honestly thought it would be impossible to top. How happy I was to be proven wrong — this year’s is even more amazing! All I did was tell Julie that I’m currently obsessed with chevron stripes and sent her a few photos — and she created this amazing tri-fold that knocks the socks off of everyone who sees it! She really transcends the whole holiday missive to create something truly unforgettable that is so much more. We get so many compliments on it — perhaps the best one received so far was from friends of ours that said they preferred ours to the one they got from the president! I am *almost* embarrassed to get these types of responses from friends & family!
Can you see us beaming from where you are? It was such an honor to work with Sarah and we are thrilled to have had the opportunity. Here is the holiday card we designed for her and her sweet family.
As if that weren’t enough to get us all giddy, Sarah also featured a piece of our work in a recent List Topping Trends article she penned for the Paper Clips Newsletter section of the National Stationery Show website. Here is an excerpt. Be sure to check out the whole article here.
Rainbows. Quiet since the 1980s, rainbows have been reborn in a big way, and may be just the sunny tonic a recession- or depression-addled nation is seeking. Updated for today’s aesthetics, they have been rethought and reinterpreted, appearing on everything from cake layers to … you guessed it, chevron stripes.
We are so excited for the upcoming National Stationery Show, May 20-23, in New York City. We look forward to it each and every year! We’d be ever-so-pleased if you stopped by and visited us at Booth #2815. We’d love to see you!
…is so last season! Picture this – Sicily, 1947 (sorry, my Golden Girls affection crept in there for a second).
Picture this – you’re at a bar, a nightclub, a networking function, your son’s soccer game, Nordstrom, wherever. And you meet someone that you’d like to see again – an attractive member of the opposite sex, a potential girlfriend to share margaritas with, a business lead, or a fellow parent of an unruly toddler you can commiserate with. You’d like to exchange info with this person, but how? Not long ago, your only options would have been to scrounge in your bag for a scrap piece of paper and a pen, or ask the bartender for a napkin. Or, as a last resort, scribble the information down with eyeliner or lipliner! Not anymore, my friends, not anymore…
Adult Calling Cards – an ingenious idea! They are available in a variety of styles, colors, and designs. You’ll be sure to find one that suits your personality perfectly. Use them as calling cards, networking cards, small notes, gift enclosure cards, favor gift tags, book plates, or belonging markers. The possibilities are truly endless. And they make great gifts for the impossible-to-buy-for. And we ALL have someone like that in our lives!
And think about how sophisticated and refined you’ll feel pulling on of these gems out and smoothly handing it over to your new friend! Explore the possibilities here.
You may think I’m talking about spring weather…but I’m not! I don’t know about you, but it seems the world has gone BABY CRAZY! Lately, everywhere I turn I see a baby or a pregnant woman. But you know what – it warms my heart. The promise and excitement of new life is always something to celebrate. Something to cherish.
Now, we all know that baby showers are pretty standard fare when a woman is about to become a mommy. But have you heard of a baby sprinkle? A baby sprinkle is like a “step below” a baby shower. The mommy can gather with her absolute closest friends and family and celebrate the soon-to-be arrival of her newborn bundle of joy. Baby sprinkles are for women who are becoming a mom for the second (or third!) time around.
What makes a good baby sprinkle gift? The once-again mommy can always use items such as diapers, formula (if so chosen), baby food, and bath products. Another great idea would be a massage gift certificate, a day at the spa, a simple facial or manicure, or baby sitting “coupons.” Think simple date night away from hectic daily life. Being a mom is hard!
Since a baby sprinkle isn’t a full blown baby shower, some choose not to go all out when inviting guests, selecting decor, food, and entertainment. Some still play games and have super cute inexpensive baby sprinkle favors.
But if your mantra is “Go Big or Go Home”, by all means…GO FOR IT! Create fancy invitations (we know of a fabulous online store who can hook you up!), delish food, and great decor.
Happy Sprinkling!

Today I needed a little pick-me-up from the winter blues so I hopped over to Katie’s blog, Running on Happiness. She author’s a style blog where she documents her journey for self-definition. I fell in love with this bright combination she put together. Here’s what she had to say:
We don’t need to be supermodels to know that the world is our cat walk. And we don’t need super powers to be super women. Sure, your face may not be on the covers of magazines, and you may not have the ability to read people’s minds, but there is something inside each and every one of us that makes us truly beautiful and wonderful.
The beauty and powers we possess are much more honest and real than anything found in a glossy magazine or a story defined by supernatural heroism. Like the girl who battles society’s standards of beauty just to feel comfortable in her skin. Or the mother who is impervious to sleep because she works day and night unconditionally taking care of her baby’s every need.
So today, remember your powers. And gurrrrrl, don’t forget to strut your thang walking down that sidewalk as if you’ve got cameras flashing. Throw those shoulders back, keep your head high, and give that booty a little pop as you turn that corner. Because there is nothing more powerful than confidence. The the world is watching, and noticing, how super you are. Just don’t become too super that you refuse to get out of bed for anything less than $10,000 a day, or go all Darth Vader on us. Because that would so not be cool.

It’s all about the heart
I’m seeing hearts. Yep, lots of red, pink, big, little, polka-dot…you name it…..it’s all about the hearts! I especially love cute unique projects I can create on my own. When I ran across this darling little project for a Valentine I just had to share it with you. Just Lila is responsible for this sweet piece of art. You could put it in a window or add to a greeting card for a pretty gift. So easy and yet effective.
Here is what she used:
organdy square
burlap cut to heart
torn toile ribbon
small scrap of red ticking
scrap of torn scrim/cheesecloth
a word (she embroidered hers but you could stamp it or cut from an old card or something)
Dark color sewing thread
Layer and sew together to form an applique, tie a one loop bow with the toile and sew to the heart.
Using a sheer background shows off the heart nicely.
Burlap is definitely a hot decorating item right now. What better way to incorporate it into your Valentine’s Day decor then this. While you’re making one for yourself why not make a few more to surprise the ones you love with. Who wouldn’t adore receiving one of these little beauties. So go get your craft on!
Happy New Year everyone! We at Modern Posh are busy creating new, fresh designs for 2012.
Now that the holiday is behind us, the new year brings an opportunity to regroup, declutter and take a breath. It’s also the time we sit down to write our thank you’s for all our wonderful gifts we received. We carry some fun, personalized cards just for that purpose.
These pretty cards will make a distinct impression with their unique designs and colorful patterns. 
Put a face on it! You can customize our cards by adding a picture of someone special. We know these little touches matter when keeping your family and friends in the loop.
Remember, email can get boring and receiving a personal thank you note always makes a person feel good. And when the notecards are fun and fabulous…well….that only makes it better. We love what we do and we hope you do too!

Dessert for New Year’s Eve
Now that we are all done running around trying to cross-off everything on our to-do list for Christmas, it’s time to slow down, relax and enjoy some quiet home time. After seeing this unique dessert table over at Hostess (with the mostess), I thought this would be a great idea for hosting a small get-together for New Year’s Eve. Jessica of Pen and Paper Flowers, is the creative talent behind this beautiful party idea that reflects the warmth of the Holiday Season.
Using a soft, creamy color palette she incorporated tea-stained paper dollies, ivory yarn, lace doily ribbons and shredded vintage paper.
Jessica used the “key decor” as the element for “unlocking” the holiday warmth theme.
The shredded vintage paper is such a cute change from the usual flowers in a vase.
These doily handmade flowers would be darling displayed in a little jar anytime of year. The white hot chocolate in tall skinny shot glasses carries on the neutral color theme.
Who knew that wrapping boxes in brown paper, doilies and lace could look so sweet.
This color palette has such a calm soft feel to it and lends itself to be used in so many other settings — wedding showers, anniversary parties, baby showers, etc. If you’re thinking you might like to use this idea for your New Year’s Eve party, why not sprinkle a little opaque glitter around your table to jazz things up.
As 2011 comes to an end we at Modern Posh want to thank you for your patronage. We look forward to an exciting and creative 2012.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
