  • Stationery Fit For a Dean

    Walt’s stationery design is simple, but deceivingly so. We printed the three-color piece on 5×7 cotton paper with a fine halftone screen in the lighter blue ink pass, creating the illusion of a third blue — lighter than the lines that outline the abstract wave shape. 

  • New York Garden Wedding Whimsy

    It can be tricky to create a wedding invitation suite that’s colorful, playful, and exciting, while still conveying the sophistication of the event itself. While working with Terisa and Tom, the goal of maintaining that balance was always at the front of our minds.  Ok, sure, the save the dates leaned a bit toward the whimsical…

  • Business Cards for Hime Hiko

    Beautifully simple business cards for Hime Hiko. We printed these with our Midnight and Fire Truck inks on 300g Fluorescent White Lettra. Design work by Montréal firm Sept L’atelier.

  • Golden Botanicals Wrapped & Sealed

    If you thought the letterpress save the dates we printed for Randi & Ben this spring were cool, I think you’re gonna like the follow-up. This was truly a collaborative project. Randi designed the two-sided invitation and sleeve, and sent the specs off to us. We printed the front of the invitation on 300g Pearl…

  • Business Set For Force Majeure Vineyard

    Washington’s Force Majeure Vineyard makes lovely Bordeaux and Rhone-inspired wines. We’ve been lucky enough to sample from their limited production and we think their wines pair beautifully with our custom letterpress stationery. We printed business cards, folded notes, and envelopes for Carrie and Todd using espresso and silver-tinted opaque white ink on Ecru Lettra paper.

  • Foil, Door Tags, and Alligators

    It’s great when we get to work with a wedding client from the very beginning – starting with the save the dates, moving on to the invitations, and then following through to the wedding day pieces. We did this for Elisa and Alexander, shifting the design vision slightly throughout the process while still maintaining a cohesive…

  • Letterpress Stationery for Palette & Parlor

    As we were moving Parklife Press from North Carolina out to Oregon last summer, Ivy and John were bringing their Chapel Hill furniture studio into full swing. We’re no longer in the same town, but that doesn’t mean we can’t still work together.  We printed note cards and business cards with custom inks on 300g…

  • Custom Monogram in Santa Fe

    Ah, the blind-pressed monogram. Hard to go wrong when you use a lightly tinted white ink with a deep impression on thick cotton paper. We carried the variations of the monogram through to each piece — an accommodations card with a tear-off reply card, a menu, table numbers with a blind chevron pattern and inkjet numbers, and programs…

  • Botanical Postcards

    This two-sided client-designed save the date postcard combines light warm gray letterpress ink for the front with flat inkjet printing on the back. The botanical image has wonderful ornate detail while the R+B monogram on the back is simple and clean. The two styles work beautifully together. When printing two-sided, we can use letterpress for both, but it’s…

  • Lavender & Mint in Scappoose

    Here’s a lovely wedding set for Parklife’s favorite brother and his favorite new wife. For the save the date we used two custom inks on thick 600g ecru paper. For the invitations, we carried through the same inks, paper, along with a few variations on the Gotham typeface. On the back of the invitation we added…
