Trick and Treat
If you’re lucky, you might just end up with Mountaincow’s new Modern line of stationery in your loot bag this Halloween. We’ve paired rich brown and red envelopes with lavender, green, orange and blue – just in time for your fall parties.

Throwing a spookfest? Use PrintingPress 2.0 to print our arachnid design on our new Pumpkin stationery (orange cards with brown envelopes). We used our Colin font from Fonts & Graphics Collection 2, for a crooked, scratchy style. We then made goody bag tags using the place card feature so each kid goes home with a bag (or a belly) full of candy.

If you look very closely, you’ll see this Platinum invitation in the brand new issue of Family Circle! We folded a 5.5" x 8.5" piece of white card stock twice to fit in an A2 envelope. Folded, the card reads “Trick or Treat”. Pull the card to open it and all the party details are inside. We added an orange background and off-white text in Colin.

Using the place card function, we made a coordinating goody bag tag and added an age old plea for treat. Want to keep your guests’ bug juice straight? Make another set of place cards and use a hole punch to make room for a straw.

Present perfect
You’re walking out the door to a party when you realize you don’t have an enclosure card for your gift. To avoid thank you note glitches, or to explain why you chose that particular bottle of wine, create a supply of gift cards with PrintingPress.

To get ready for the fall holiday season, we used our new Modern line of stationery for both projects. Both projects also use a folded note which measures 5.5" x 8" before it is folded.

For a simple, autumn-themed note, add a silhouette of a maple leaf and your name underneath. Use our new Pistachio stationery – pairing gorgeous green paper with rich brown envelopes – and you’ll always get credit for your thoughtful gifts.

Platinum users can print a border of leaves in fall hues on our Cranberry stationery – red paper with intensely red envelopes – and print a name in the middle.

Hop to it!
The thing about birthdays… they come every year! Before you know it, it’s time to plan another one. Here’s a cute, but most of all, easy project for you to make your own. And don't worry; it's easy to customize. If your little one hates frogs, replace our apmhibian with your child's favorite animal or cartoon character. Copy, paste and voila! Instant invitation.

Print our cute little frog design on white 6.25" x 4.5" cards and pair them with A6 dusty blue envelopes. Order them in sets of 25 in our bulk stationery section. Take care of the matching thank you notes while you are at it by ordering white 5.5" x 8.5" folded notes with blue A2 envelopes. Print our cute frog again with the words “Thank you”.

Platinum users, add a blue and green border around the edge of the invitation and thank you note for added style. Love this border? You can have a bunch more like them from Fonts & Graphics Collection 2.
