We worked with The Write Touch on these heartwarming New Year’s cards. The cards featured two components: a digitally printed photo card with tawny matte foil stamping and navy letterpress back patterning, and a letterpress and foil stamped die-cut tag. The two pieces were held together with a shiny gold grommet and dark indigo ribbon. Navy pearl patterned envelopes added a nice finishing touch to the set, which paid tribute to a beloved pet.

Our Creative Director Amy Graham Stigler worked with Lindsey and Timothy on their custom letterpress wedding invitations for their wedding at the Historic Pritzlaff in Milwaukee. Debi Zeinert of the Blooming Quill calligraphed their invitation envelopes, which were adorned with an assortment of cool vintage stamps. We especially love how the couple had their vows screen printed on fabric and hung during the ceremony and reception – such a unique touch!
