Our purple shine foil stamping makes these save the dates & thank you cards stand out – in a good way!  Submitted to us by our friends at The Village Invites in New York City, we adore the playful type on the Tatra design.

These awesome business cards were sent to us by a great store Invitations & Company in Massachusetts. The use of two sided printing in foil and letterpress make these a business card worth taking a second look at.

Nothing says “thank you” like pressed foil! For an invitation order, it’s expected that a thank you card would be much simpler. However, Alisa from The Write Stuff in Tampa has found a way to enhance the card without sacrificing writing space. Using the two foils from the Tatra suite is a great way to incorporate foil into additional card types.

A foil border and foil text were all that was needed to take this classic custom invitation and make it shine.  Monograham certainly knows how to create a timeless wedding invitation.

Since we introduced foil stamping to Smock this summer, we’ve been head-over-heels in love with the way it looks on our bamboo paper! Foil is the perfect way to add a bit of sparkle and shine to any invitation, and since we offer 12 foil colors, there are lots of different ways you can use it! For color pairing ideas, tips on when to bring in a bright colored foil (like fuchsia!) and when to keep it classic with an essential like silver or gold, check out the list below for some inspiring ideas.

We have Kerri at Anne Grace Designs in Dallas, Texas to thank for these fabulous letterpress + foil stamped wedding invitations. The pairing of our inkless blind deboss ink and silver shine foil will surely make a bold statement – and it’s breathtaking invitations like this one here that we’re overjoyed to be gushing about.

Can we have a drum roll please?  Why, you ask?  Because we are over the moon excited for the launch of foil stamping at Smock!  These custom letterpress invitations feature silver matte foil for the bride and groom’s name, adding just a touch of shimmer to this traditional wedding set.  Foil stamping allows us to incorporate the very look of metallics onto custom printing.  So now there is truly a way to make your own wedding invitations outshine the rest.  Classic black paired with silver matte foil looks impeccable and clean cut on these.  We’d like to thank our friends at The Write Image in Rockville, Maryland for sending us this amazing suite.

It’s official: foil stamping has arrived at Smock! Today we’re sharing a special sneak peek of the letterpress invitations we printed for the 2012 National Stationery Show, and we think you’ll love the new additions we’re bringing to the line. We’re adding two gorgeous new fonts to our collection of exclusive Smock calligraphy fonts, and these invitations feature both of those new fonts! Plaza is an elegant, formal script based on Sarah Hanna‘s calligraphy, and Stella (based on a Kelle McCarter hand) has a more playful, whimsical feel. The invitations are just a hint at what’s new: besides foil stamping and new calligraphy fonts, we’re also introducing four inspired new wedding suites, 12 dazzling colors for foil stamping, 100% recycled coasters, and lots of cool new products for our Everyday line (including 6 new styles of double-sided gift wrap, new notebook styles, more man-friendly stationery, and much, much more!).  A special thanks to master calligrapher Debi Zeinert from The Blooming Quill for addressing the invitation envelopes – aren’t they gorgeous!?

Foil stamping will be available at Smock dealers in early June, so stay tuned!
