kensiekate + west elm slc

UPDATE: The launch party for West Elm LOCAL Salt Lake City will be June 14th from 12:00-4:00 at the City Creek Mall. It will be a blast! Please stop by if you can. I would so love to chat with you. Untitled-1-02

I am so beyond excited to announce that I will be a part of West Elm Local in Salt Lake City. I get to participate with 9 other fabulous local designers to stock handcrafted products unique at the West Elm in City Creek Mall in Salt Lake City. I've been told that there will be an event held at the store where anyone can come to talk to all the designers and shop the exclusive local assortment of products. I will have 7 different prints for sale (you can see 2 of them here) and I am just so happy to get to be featured with so many talented artists. I'll be sure to post for details about the meet + greet event once I hear more. Happy Tuesday!

awesome & affordable business cards

kensiekate_awesome_affordable_business_cards_vistaprint_discount_code I recently ordered some new business cards and there was a big smile on my face when I opened the box.

I had them printed by Vistaprint. I have ordered from them a few times and have been really happy. I have searched and searched and I cannot find a more affordable website. I just ordered a friend's wedding invitations through Vistaprint and scored the best deal. (We're talking 500 invitations, 500 envelopes, & 500 inserts for just under $100) You can even click here to save $10 on your order.

I haven't ever used their templates, I've always uploaded my own complete design, but the process is easy and I've always been satisfied. I always keep a few business cards with me and I include them in my packaging.

TJ & Brandi | Engagement pictures

I met Brandi while I was serving a mission in Philadelphia. The first day we met, I told her I would design her wedding invitation someday. We were both planning on that being a year or so from now, but I could not be happier for Brandi and TJ and I was so excited to get to take their engagement pictures! We ventured out to Antelope Island, as per TJ's request. I was giddy with delight when I saw all the gorgeous places to shoot. And then we got out of the car. Oh my BUGS! I'm still in amazement that you can't see a single flying critter in any of the pictures. See that blanket? Yeah, it's sole purpose was to afford (albeit limited) protection from the sheets of bugs. I could only take a few pictures in a row before I had to shake the gnats off my arm and out of my nose. It was insane! But this gorgeous couple suffered through it and laughed the whole time.

shop changes

Thanks for all the support yesterday. It means a lot. It wasn't my first choice to come home, but I am making the best of it! Today I made a few changes to the shop.

First, all prints are now available in 6 sizes! (4x6, 5x7, 8x10, 11x14, 16x20, & 24x36) If none of these is quite what you want (ie you need an international size), let me know so I can set up a custom listing. To make your size selection, just use the handy drop-down menu.

Shipping has been standardized. Domestic orders now ship for $3 and international for $10.

Gift cards are now available! You can find them here. Just is time for Valentine's Day ;)

Discounts are available for ordering multiple prints! Find those offers here.

You can also use the discount code FEB14 to save 10% on your order! Perfect for the new Valentine's prints I added not too long ago...

If you are interested in hosting a giveaway, guest post, etc., shoot me an email. I would love to work something out before I go back to Philly!
