We understand you're busy, and that not everyone is D.I.Y goddess.  That's why Bella Ink is now offering custom printing on invitations, blank note cards, writing papers and envelopes.

Bella Ink and Retail Parade's Display Inspiration

Bella Ink Designs joined Retail Parade a couple of weeks ago.  It's a beautiful site introducing fabulous vendors to equally fabulous retailers.  Our Good Luck greeting, CC-110, is being featured in Retail Parade's current Display Inspiration post alongside other "lucky" products.

It's Compliment Day!

Bella Ink Designs' CC-111, Single Greeting with Hand-Glitter

Today is compliment day.  Say something sweet, even if it's just, "Your shoes are so cute!"  If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all.  If you're simply at a loss for words, let a Bella Ink greeting card do all the talking.  It's not too late to snag one, they're in card and gift boutiques nationwide.  Find a store near you HERE.

Remember, you don't have to confine kind words to compliment day.  If you want to lift someone's spirits any day of the year, head over to bellaink.com and order a variety of greetings to keep on hand.

To all our customers, THANK YOU.  We believe each of you are fabulous and unique.  We truly appreciate the opportunity to represent you and the special events in your lives.

Little Miss Demi Lily

In the midst of new releases, catalogs and clouds of glitter, nine months came and went and 

I've added a new sub-title (mommy) to my "Jaqueline of all trades," title here at Bella Ink!

I'd like to introduce the newest love in my life (and newest member of the Bella Ink family!), little miss Demi Lily

This little ham was born on June 19th, 2012 and has truly been a joy from the start!

She's over a month old now and each day is more exciting than the last and less sleepier too!

A Bella Ink Designs Truism

Bella Ink Designs is on Pinterest, now!  Head on over to check out our boards. We're just getting started, but we already have some beautiful wedding images pinned, as well as pieces by fabulous paper artists, and more!

To Sir, With Love

While the United States Postal Service appears to be contemplating raising stamp prices, again, and cutting back on the number of days they deliver mail, many designers are incorporating postmarks into their work.  It's like we're feeling nostalgic for something that is not yet lost.

As a company whose origins are rooted in invitation and note card design, we believe there will always be a need for non-electronic mail ("snail mail").  We'll be sad if and when we ever receive a formal wedding invitation via email.  If you'd like to read the Greeting Card Association's position on the state of the United States Postal Service, click HERE.
