One of my favorite lines from a Dave Matthews song ...says 'sweet like candy to my soul' It's a line that has always stuck with me, don't know why, but I like it.
so it's kind of fitting that I would have something in my shop with the same name and vibe. A soulful collection of handmade cards and invitations from Local designer
Kimberly Mortson.
Her designs are simple, clean, elegant, and fun. They are also printed on beautful Heavyweight Crane papers.
nice.
So for the first time ever, I am turning over my blog to the designer herself, I'm going to let her tell you a little bit about herself and her products!
Hello, I'm Kimberly Mortson – the creative mind behind Small Moments. After working for more than a decade as a newspaper reporter/editor I shifted gears in 2007 to marry my love of the written word together with my obsession with papers and fonts to start Small Moments.
I always believed it was a privilege to tell someone’s story when I worked as a reporter. Once I left the field of journalism I found another way to do that through my designs … by creating mementos that people use to mark the important celebrations and milestones in their lives.
My work includes both professional branding and marketing materials such as logos, business cards, postcards, banners and brochures to social invitations for weddings, save-the-date cards, showers, baby announcements and birthdays as well as personalized stationery and note cards.
In 2011 I debuted a line of greeting/note cards charmingly named “Sweet Like Candy” cards. The messages on the cards are a combination of all the quirky (Play Hard, Nap Often, Eat COOKIES), sentimental (You Make Me Feel MUSHY) and fun (I Need You + TEQUILA) things my family and our best friends say.
I describe my overall design style as romantic and simple. I find inspiration in everything and I’m really sentimental. I love when I have a customer that hires me to create an invitation for a special occasion and my design not only sets the tone for the event but also conveys the significance of the moment.
You can find my line of more than 30 “Sweet Like Candy” cards at Red Shoes as well as custom art prints for framing and a portfolio of my invitations.
