Pretty pretty packaging

Back at the end of March, I shared a peek of what I was sending off to some of my fabulous clients on facebook… I didn’t want to show exactly what was inside though- It would ruin the surprise! And I love surprises. If I had known what a reaction it would get out of you guys (my fellow industry friends) then I would have waited. I thought you would have some interest, (so I already had this post planned) just not quite that much.

But, your wait is over. You can take a look at what’s inside, and if you want, even create some of these for your clients. Who wouldn’t love to get something so pretty in their mail box?

Notice my gorgeous swirly paw……. (which, as I’m sure you know, I adore. Renee captured it so perfectly! Renee had also warned me about posting too many photos and therefore making the blog slow… I was like “Who, me? Post too many photos? Ha! That’s funny!”  Um….. Renee, if you’re reading this please don’t scroll down the rest of this post, okay? Thanks. C’mon, you can’t have too many photos of pretty packaging! )

And there you go- A neat little info card and a stack of personalized referral cards. Yep, these babies are for my referral program! If you look closely, you’ll see it says “Spread The Love” at the tipity top and the rest details the whys and hows of everything. All the copy is written by me, but, if writing just isn’t your thing, one of my fave photography shops Design Aglow offers really nice looking templates for this sort of thing.

I had a lot of fun taking photos of everything. I had never truly tried product photography, and can I just say that I love it? I do. So please forgive me if there are too many photos. When I had shared these on facebook, one of you asked if the envelopes were for cds. While they are not, you could definitely use them for that. I, however, prefer something a little bit sturdier for something as important as a cd so I found myself some equally as fab cd cases. I’ll be sharing those sometime soon. (as well as the rest of my packaging, etc. Be sure to keep an eye out.)

Pet stamps! And speaking of stamps….

If you’re a photographer wanting more info (where I had the stamps made, etc. etc.) please leave me a comment (here- not on facebook) and I will get back to you via email. Or you can hop over to the contact page. Hope your day is filled with pretty things!

   Emailing all you girls.

   And Stacey- How funny! We sure did! Nano isn’t a Chihuahua, but, they sure have similar markings. Too funny. Great minds think alike?

   I absolutely love your new branding, blog, packaging and stamps! I too would like to know where you have your packaging through and where you had your stamps made (especially the stamps! My inner scrapbooker is drooling!).

   Wow Alexa! Your new packaging is so cute – and you are awesome at product photography! I just started taking photos of my samples and I only wish they looked as good as yours do haha! I’d love to know where you got your packaging – and the stamps are a great touch. Love it!

    Love it Alexa!!! I bought stamps from someone here locally and they didn’t turn out too well, where did you get yours and are they holding up?
