Eggplant and Orchid has proven to be a great color pairing, but the folks at Yes I Do! had to foresight to pair the chesapeake die with orchid edge painting. The embellishments serve as a perfectly subtle yet sharp accent to an already beautiful order.

Today we’re excited to share photos from a couple who recently tied the knot! Elissa and Chris worked with Cambridge Street Papers for their classic Vettore wedding invitation suite, and were kind enough to share a few of the beautiful photos from their May wedding. We love the way the postage stamps tie in with the wedding bouquet — such a thoughtful touch!

It’s hard to believe that the 2013 National Stationery Show has already come and gone! We had a great time at the show catching up with our Smock dealers and introducing new products, and we were beyond excited to be honored by the Greeting Card Association with our second Louie award for our “Like Campfires” letterpress love card! Smock also sponsored Oh So Beautiful Paper’s 2013 Paper Party, so it was a busy week for the team in New York! Here’s a peek at our booth display and some of the new products we introduced at the show. We’ll be posting a follow-up later this month complete with a DIY tutorial on how to make our festive cone garland!

Here’s a sneak peek at some of our new holiday gift wrap, and a close-up of our decorative gift wrap display featuring hundreds of colorful cones.

We also added new boxes and letterpress coasters to our line-up, too — keep an eye out for these great new products in a Smock store near you!

Our new kraft collection was a huge hit as well!

By simplifying the Dawson design, and using a smaller S5 sized card this classy letterpress save the date was created. The grass green ink is just the right touch for a spring wedding. Thanks Gus & Ruby Letterpress for sending this order our way!

A huge thanks goes out to our friends at Houston Invitation Service for sending us these lovely Palmes inspired letterpress save the sates. We love the use of subtle colors to create a piece that pops.

Dawson has always been one of our dealers very favorites – and we adore this customization submitted to us by By Invitation Only in Arkansas.  Opting for our largest square size, the invitation looks even more modern and ever so chic.  The softer color palette carried throughout and a distinguish looking envelope lining maintains sophistication on these.
