O’Riley Design began with a passion for paper. Ever
since I was a child I loved all kinds of paper. Whether it was cards,
stationary, decorations, or even stickers, I just loved the different styles of
paper. Whenever I found something new or saw a card with a decoration I had
never seen before, I had to have it. This passion never left me as I began to grow into adulthood. In fact, this passion was only increased when I became engaged to my husband. I was like a kid in a candy store when I went into the stationary and card shops. I spent hours pouring over every conceivable combination of announcement, invitation and thank you note until finding just the right one. Then, six years ago, my daughter was born. This was such an unbelievably special time in my life and I wanted the birth announcement to be the most unique and special announcement anyone had ever seen. But when I started to look for that perfect announcement, I could only find the same old boring thing everywhere I went. I did find a couple of places that could create what I had in mind - if I was willing to spend more for the birth announcements than what my husband and I paid for our car! So I took it upon myself to design and create my own custom birth announcement. Never have I had so much fun working so hard on something. I found just the right card stock. And the perfect ribbon in that perfect shade of pink. Everything was exactly what I had pictured in my mind. The feedback I received from friends and family was overwhelming. Everyone wanted to know where I got my cards from. When I told them I had made them myself I started getting requests to design custom cards and O’Riley Design was born. As I expanded from working off of referrals to doing business on the internet I was able to include many unique pre-made and do-it-yourself cards not found in your average card shop.
