Stationery, invitations & announcements

Bliss believes that when you send a card it needs to be something that makes that person's day. More than just a card, but a little piece of art. All of our blank cards, invitations and announcements are unique and handmade. Whether you need a birthday card for a child's party, a set of invitations for that cocktail party, holiday cards, or moving announcements, Bliss has something beautiful for you.

We could not possibly show you every card available, but if you know what you are looking for, we can email you the cards we carry for that event. All invitations and announcements have the important details already printed on them, so all you need to do is address the envelope, add a stamp and put them in the mail! Please contact us with all your questions regarding your ideas and special event.

NEW "Your text is in the mail" series letterpress cards These simple greeting cards use an original printing technique, letterpressing, to print messages you would send friends and family on your favorite device. Choose from: "YGG" (you go girl), "ZUP" (what's up), "BFFL" (best friends for life), "H-BDAY" (happy birthday), "T4BU" (thanks for being you), "IMU" (I miss you), "BLNT" (better luck next time), "IMS" (I'm sorry), "GRATZ" (congratulations, and "LOL" (laughing out loud). For those less text literate, we've even printed the meaning behind the code just below. Remember it is still really fun to get a "message" in the mail! Each card comes with an envelope and is $6.

mini letterpress notes These are simple little note cards that are meant to cheer up anyone's day. Letterpressed onto watercolor paper, the cards are 3-1/2 x 5 inches - the perfect little way to say "hi" or "thank you". They are available in two different designs: Birdcage or Chick.

letterpress bookmarks A great item to add to a book lovers gift, these bookmarks are letterpressed with 2 different designs. For the set of 2, one of each design, they are priced at only $4.

repurposed paper bowls You can't put water in them, but they are a great place to put your keys, sunglasses, pens, desk accessories, and anything small you want to keep handy. Great to display on their own too. Each bowl is formed from magazine pages which are painstakingly cut, folded and glued in an approximately 4" to 5" tall bowl.

Bookplates To let friends know who to return that great book, use these hand silk screened bookplates.

Each pack contains 20 bookplates - 5 of each of the 4 designs - and is priced at $12.

Birth announcements What a wonderful time in your life - to be welcoming a new baby or child into your family. To make that joy even more obvious we suggest you send original custom announcements to let all your family and friends know who just arrived. You may select from our Portfolio Collection or have custom designs created just for you. Clients receive a personalized portfolio of designs based on our discussions about you and your family. We will even send you the envelopes before the baby or child arrives so you can check one thing off your list. Pricing includes all photo alterations and printing and ranges from $3 to $5, but we can make just about any budget look like a million dollars.

Bar and Bat Mitzvah invitations Much like weddings, these are big, celebratory affairs and we can create invitations to match the day. Because they are so individual, we like to talk to clients personally. The invitation process is similar to our wedding process, so please contact us to discuss the details!

"My masterpiece" This is a completely original and unique product to Bliss. You send us a drawing created by your child, student, grandchild, niece or nephew and we will design beautiful stationery using that artwork. Bliss creates a screen from a simple line drawing and then uses that screen to hand print cards, stationery, book plates, holiday cards or whatever you can dream up. Since we keep the screens, you can always reorder. It is a wonderful way to share a child's imagination with friends and family. These are also wonderful gifts for grandparents and teachers.

All artwork is printed on white or cream cardstock or white stationery and includes envelopes. You can select the ink color for the illustration - all names are printed in black or the picture's ink color. Please send line drawings only either by mail or electronically. All original artwork will be returned with your order.

For a set of 10 note cards or stationery is $25 and each additional set of 10 is $15.00. If you wish to reorder, each set is $15 with a set up fee of $5. To have a portion of the artwork printed on the envelope, it is $5 for each set of 10, with a set up fee of $3. Add $3 for gift boxed note cards.

Party invitations and Moving announcements Tell us the theme and we can create some unforgettable invitations that your friends will be talking about for weeks! No one will want to miss your party. We have done invitations for everything from wine tasting's to birthdays, anniversaries to Thanksgiving dinners, bridal showers to Christenings. All the important details will be printed, so all you need to do is address the envelopes and send them off.

Our moving announcements will capture where you are moving from and to, and will include all the important information for friends and family. Contact us to see our current selection of designs!

Pet themed note cards The newest set, features three dog designs and three cat designs drawn by Kristie Vargo's, then nine year-old daughter and six year-old son.
