Dawson Design – Letterpressed in Dove + Pewter
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.

We had the joy of printing these GORGEOUS letterpress Bat Mitzvah invitations for our wonderful friends at PS Paper in San Anselmo, California. We don’t think this suite could really be any sweeter, the submitted hand calligraphy used for the Sydney’s name adds a nice whimsical touch and the soft color palette keeps this set appropriate for a young girl’s important celebration. The frame on the invitation is inspired by our Dawson design – and helps maintain the contemporary vibe.

Smock in the Press – Fall 2012
Letterpress wedding invitations and greeting cards from Smock have been spotted in some amazing places lately, and today we’re excited to share the features that Smock has been a part of this fall! For their Fall 2012 issue, Inside Weddings magazine included a custom wedding invitation set from Smock that featured a letterpress sleeve and combined two of our most popular designs: our floral Rhon design paired with elements from our more modern Dawson design.

Brides magazine featured one of our new, foil stamped wedding invitation designs and matching invitation sleeve — our whimsical Tatra customization — as part of their November issue.

Coastal Living included several of our products in their October 2012 issue as part of their “8 Steps to a Stress-Free Work Zone” feature. Our Bicyclette and Chatham scratchpads ($7 each) and our Breakers notebook ($9 each) are perfect reasons to take a break from technology to write down notes the old-fashioned way.

Stationery Trends magazine featured one of our new holiday cards as part of their Fall 2012 issue — our Joyeux Noel card (which features letterpress and gold foil stamping) was included in a piece all about gold.

And of course, we can’t forget about the amazing bloggers who have been featuring Smock online these days — Oh So Beautiful Paper, Discover Paper, Going Home to Roost, Young House Love, Bustle Blog, and Creative Wish – we appreciate your recognition!

Letterpressed Dawson Suite Looking Flashy in Orchid Ink
We were overjoyed to print this unique and flashy one color Dawson suite. Submitted by our friends at RSVP in Plymouth, Michigan – this playful and chic set features just a few of the cool embellishments Smock has to offer. Our orchid ink helps make this set look royal, while still maintaining the modern feel. We’ve offset the back of the invitations and reception cards in our polka pattern in lime ink, which cleverly matches back to the dots on the invitation.
