Apple Green and Tiffany Blue

Apple Green and Tiffany Blue

If you’re looking for a color combo that’s chic and fun at the same time, then look no further. This stellar mix of apple green and tiffany blue, as used in this beautiful box, is perfect for bringing a bright yet simple look to your event. This creation, for example, was put together as a way to collect business cards- and adding the touch of sparkle with Swarovski crystals really just makes me so happy :) I love it!

Combining Colors

Combining Colors

When I first saw this card box there was just one thought that went through my mind-what a creative mixture of colors! Putting plum, orange and pink together is not a traditional combination, but when you look at it you can see just how well it works. This is a great example of how you never know what’s going to really POP when you start trying new shades next to one another. There are a ton of floral combos that work beautifully in this scheme as well, so let your imagination run free and see what you come up with :)

The Red Lip

The Red Lip

If you’ve watched any award shows this season, or kept track of the red carpet looks, then you’ve probably noticed that the carpet isn’t the only thing that’s red…the stars’ lips are too! It seems everyone is going crazy for this bold look and I think it’s fabulous…personally I’ve been rocking it for years whenever I feel like looking extra special :) It’s a fantastic way to pump up your look and tells the world you are a force to be reckoned with…! Be sure to pair it with a soft eye and blush so you don’t overdo it and you are good to go…have fun ;)

Snowflake Sensation

Snowflake Sensation

Well, the cold weather is finally here…I’m not sure about you, but I’ve already trekked through a bit of slush this week. When I think about snowflakes thought, I have to remind myself that even though they make my commute tricky, they can make a party pretty fun! I love using these unique little gems to decorate a winter themed event-take a look at this cool card box, the crystal snowflake takes it from simply pretty to fabulously sparkly! Add crisp white or silver touches and you’ll have your own winter wonderland :)

Going Ombre

Going Ombre

Ok, if you haven’t been introduced to it yet, allow me to present my newest fashion obsession, ombre! This designer trend involves dying fabrics (beautiful silks and soft blends lend themselves best) so that the color gradually increases from light to dark throughout the garment. I just LOVE it! Especially as shown in these romantic flowing dresses, the effect is eye-catching and super feminine. I can’t wait until the weather warms up and I can grab myself one of these little numbers…in the meantime, maybe an ombre sweater is order? Who knows.. ;)

Elegant Ivory

Elegant Ivory

Ivory may seem like an obvious choice for a wedding color, after all the chances that your dress will be anything but are pretty slim, however ivory can be so elegant, it’s worth exploring. White flowers and brown accents are especially beautiful and as seen here in this lovely card box, simple touches like pearls add the perfect amount of ‘affluence’ to your decor :) So give this traditional hue a shot…just kick it up a notch!

Purple and Silver

 

Purple and Silver

So, I’ve made it pretty clear that I just love the color purple; it was my absolute fave as a little girl and the accent color for my own wedding. I paired in with emerald green, but it is just as stunning when lined up next to silver. This card box says it all, with beautiful accents that add just a touch of sparkle…the two colors go together so well! Pull in the brightness with your flowers and dresses and then escort in your POP of silver for some truly elegant trimming….gorgeous!

Sequin Skirts

Sequin Skirts

Yay, New Years Eve is coming-and to me that means I can wear something super sparkly and fun that might not be so appropriate throughout the rest of the year…enter the sequin skirt! I love it! Especially if you happen to be attending a party where there will be a dancefloor…what’s cooler than being that girl in the attention grabbing mini with all the bright lights reflecting off of it…ok, maybe I’m getting a little carried away, but you get my point. Step out in something flashy every chance you get, why not? :)

Important Announcement: Help Us Grant A Wish

Before I start this post, I want to preface it by saying that I normally don’t post personal information of situations on this blog because I figure that our clients and colleagues don’t need to know what’s going on in our lives, just our business. However I must make an exception today. I apologize for the long post. It’s important for you to read it all.

I am crying  as I write this post:

About a month ago, I received word that my first cousin, a stunning, vivacious women in her mid 30s, was diagnosed with breast cancer.  My family of course was devastated but hopeful. Since then, every week we find out that the cancer has spread to more and more of her body.  The cancer she has is a very rare form of cancer that seems to spread like wildfire.  This whole situation has left us all stunned.

So, since I am who I am, i’m devising any way I can help. I cannot cure her, I cannot make her better.  But I can help her fulfill a longtime dream..something on her “Kick The Bucket List”.

My cousin has always wanted to visit Israel.  She is a very spiritual person, not so much religious but she’s always been curious about religion and spirituality.  Now that she has been given this news, her one wish is to be able to visit Israel for Passover this year…A pilgrimage of sorts.  A fund has been set up to collect donations to help her do just that.

So, here’s what i’m doing to help. I’ve started an online bake sale of sorts here: http://www.etsy.com/shop/GoldConfectionery.  All proceeds from the shop will be deposited into her fund.  I’m also taking donations.  You can give as much as you want…ANYTHING is appreciated, even a $1.

And

We are donating partial proceeds of our beautiful custom Card Boxes until further notice to her fund. So every Cardboxdiva.com purchase will help make her wish a reality. Purchase here: http://www.etsy.com/shop/CardBoxDiva

So here’s my urgent plea. HELP her see Israel.  Please.  She told me that if she doesn’t make it until April, she wants whatever money is raised to be donated to Cancer research.

Donations can be made via PayPal. Please help!

We’re also planning a benefit fundraiser for the end of January/early february. Please stay tuned for details.
