  • Letterpress Invites in the Santa Cruz Mountains

    This is one of our favorite client-designed wedding sets of the summer. Elaine and Joseph’s invites mimic the lush forest that surrounded their venue in the Santa Cruz Mountains, complete with ferns, pinecones, and slugs. We mixed a custom dilution of our Light Celadon ink to let the deep impression of the artwork really stand…

    Here we’ve got a couple of sweet business cards designed by Sarah at Kansas City’s Floc5. Connect with them on twitter (@floc5) or at their website. The first is for Floc5 Homes — printed in rich black ink on thick, bright 600g Fluorescent White cotton stock. Next we’ve got skinny cards for Amy Slattery of the…

    We printed these oversized invites for the friendly folks at Frou Frou House with a very light cool gray ink and a deep blind impression. They’re printed on our 600g Fluorescent White stock sized for large A9 envelopes.

  • Belvedere in Lavender

    Our Belvedere invitation is traditionally rather formal — printed with a graphite ink and a blind impression for a bold but stark feel. But Maura and Matthew wanted something a little more playful and a touch more Downton Abbey. So we swapped out the Mrs Eaves text and Burgues Script for the more lighthearted combo of…

  • A Golden Hex

    Bax’s cards presented a special challenge. Normally, to create an odd shape (basically anything non-rectangular), we’d make a die and die-cut the cards. But Bax wanted edge paint — and a die-cut edge isn’t crisp enough to paint cleanly. So we (very carefully) knife-cut these 600g fluorescent white hexagons with our 19th century guillotine cutter,…

  • Ostrich Invitations

    At the time of this post, a Google image search for “ostrich wedding invitation” turns up not a single invite with a full ostrich. Ostrich feathers, sure. But no full birds. Chia and Kendall sought to change that, and we were happy to help. Using our Fountain invitation as a template, we added a confidently-posed…

    Check out these beautifully understated two-color, two-sided cards for Norfolk’s Within Interior Design. For each of the eight women at the firm, we printed turquoise and warm gray inks on thick 600g Fluorescent White Lettra and added turquoise edge paint to match.

    For the New Jersey grooming gurus at Virile, we printed these thick two-sided cards on 600g pearl white Lettra with tinted white and black inks. We finished them with a rich brick edge paint. To help the impression pop, we like to use white ink tinted with a little bit of silver rather than print…
