Creating lettering for Valentine’s Day is one of my favorite seasons to work on! Here are a few cards I worked on for 2020, all in the same casual script style. Design by Leslie Seibert.
Wilson Road Logo
A recent logo for my talented friend, Mary. I can’t wait to see how she utilizes it as she starts her own business!
Tad Carpenter Creative Mornings KC
Last Friday I had a chance to hear Tad Carpenter of Carpenter Collective speak at Creative Mornings KC! It was my first Creative Mornings talk and especially special because Tad was one of my teachers at KU. Here are a couple notes from his talk:
Remember we do this because we want to, not because we have to.
We GET to do this. Every day you’ve been given a gift to make stuff.
When design is good it’s a team effort.
I’m never going to be the most talented, but I’ll never be outworked.
Play removes limits.
It ain’t about the end result, it’s about the exploration.
Being creative means you have to keep taking risks. The greatest rewards in life come out of risks.
How can your work better the world around us?
Lettering Cards: Part Two
As promised, here is part two to share a few of my favorite cards I worked on earlier in my career at Hallmark. (Take a peek at my first post here!) As a designer or artist I always think it is important to look back and be proud of how far you have come, and of older work. Some of these cards were my first projects collaborating with more seasoned designers, and others some of the very first as a designer myself. I hope that many of these cards helped people celebrate those they love!
Lettering Cards: Part One
Spring cleaning is upon us, and while I love getting my living spaces in order this time of year, I'm also updating my portfolio. I did have a section of lettering-focused cards in my Portfolio section of the site but I'm making room for newer projects. So today I'm sharing a few of my favorite cards that I still want documented on the blog. Most of these are cards I worked on in my first few years at Hallmark, some as a lettering artist and some as a designer. I'm really grateful for both roles I have had at my job — there is so much to learn at a company as big as Hallmark. Look out for part two of my favorites soon!
Good Times Marble Cards for Hallmark
Happy Wednesday! Last year around this time I had the chance to work on "Good Times" cards for Hallmark. This look features marble background patterns and I loved seeing them printed in shimmery gold bronze in the real life samples. I can't wait to send these to family and friends!
