Go Tropical with my Hawaiian Card Design Collection

When I first started my little card design business I used many of my current images from my Jennifer G Designs business for the designs. But, when I decided to design the invitation for my baby's first birthday I knew I wanted a Hawaiian themed card because of my island heritage and having been born and raised in Hawaii. With that came my Modern Hibiscus design which I carried through to a birthday invitation and birth announcements. But, customers have been requesting the design be used for other events such as graduations.

I also offer other "Hawaiian" themed cards such as my Modern Plumerias and Happy Honu. Of course, my style is modern so if you want something super authentic looking you have come to the wrong place. But, if modern is your thing, then I think I have what you're looking for!

My Artwork Available for Licensing

I have decided, upon numerous requests, to license some of my artwork to a third party. For those wanting to sell t-shirts, mugs, cards, etc this is a great way to get very unique, popular designs that have brought me great success and become successful by using some of my designs.

Rates vary according to usage, venue, and distribution circulation, but I will try and keep them affordable.

Here is my most popular and most requested licensed design -- Happy Honu. If you are interested in obtaining a license for this design or any other please contact me at jennifergdesigns@sbcglobal.net.

My Newest Owl Design on Baby Shower Invitation



































Visit My Etsy Site for more info!

New Design - Owls

I spent quite a few nights this past weekend and week working on my newest design of a modern, abstract, simple owl. I think I went through 3-4 different renditions and I finally feel good about this one. In fact, I am excited about this one! This design will carry through to my baby blankets, quilts, crib bedding and clothing. I am going to tackle making a quilt, but for now I only have the digital sketch. It's debut will come soon!

My husband is a good critic. I love using him as my "thumbs up or thumbs down" guy. I take his opinions seriously. He's a lawyer, not an artist or graphic designer, but he knows good design. I am hoping soon I will have a prototype of my owl quilt.

What am I doing today?

I'm starting to sketch designs of my new clothing line, Island Kids. I'm pretty excited about it. I have most of the fabric, but now it's time to actually make them. I'm constantly juggling kids and work. I am looking forward to the weekend so my husband can offer me relief so I can focus a bit more on it. Literally, as I am typing this post my nearly 4 year old is underneath my desk playing with my tracing lamp. Ah.... the joys of motherhood!

New Clothing Line - Island Kids - Baby & Toddler Casual Wear





I'm launching a new baby and toddler clothing line called Island Kids. As a true island girl I am taking what I already created from my Jennifer G Designs label and expanding it to a specific clothing line which will feature casual attire for our little tykes! Production of new outfits is underway and I hope to have some items listed on my new Etsy in late August (earlier would be even better). I am still going to have my Jennifer G Designs products, but I will focus more on my clothing line.

Some of the new outfits/items will include cute shorts and skirts with matching tops for baby boys & girls, toddler boys and girls and newborns. I'm really excited about designing these unique items. What will make them super unique is that like my Jennife G Designs items they will feature my original design appliques. I am currently shopping around for unique "island/tropical" fabric and making buying trips to my hometown (where I was born and raised) Honolulu, Hawaii will certainly happen more often!
