Letterpress Dragon Birth Announcements!

Baby announcements are just plain fun! We love the adorable little dragon artwork that was submitted by Union Street Papery. He looks like he’s excited about the new arrival too, as he playfully bounds over the granby pattern. The use of the same pattern for the liner was a great addition when chosen to be printed in reverse.

inks: wisteria + sage | font: worthington | paper: 2-ply ivory | printing: letterpress | offset liner: granby in wisteria | card size: S5-SQ | customization #: 16022 |

Emerald Letterpress and Gold Foil

Courtesy of Gentry from Paper on the Avenue, a simple spin is put on the Tatra design, trading a second gold foil for emerald ink.  The result speaks for itself!  We love this customization almost as much as we love working with Gentry.  It’s great to see a perfect pairing of letterpress and foil as one tends to accentuate the other.

ink: gold shine foil + emerald | paper: 1-ply ivory | printing: letterpress + foil | invite size: S6 | customization #: 15806 |

Using Emerald and Gold Shine foil the Tatra design looks splendid.

Grommeted Offset Save the Dates – in Ocean + Glacier Inks

Our friend JoEllen at Bennett Schneider, Inc. in Stilwell, Kansas submitted these gorgeously grommeted save the dates for printing.  Offset printed in our ocean and glacier inks, the save the date swivels so guests can read up on lodging and travel information.  We think you’ll agree that a cool color palette and our babine pattern is what makes these particularly charming.

inks: ocean + glacier| fonts: louise + coombs | paper: 1-ply ivory bamboo | printing: offset | size:S5 | hole drilling + gold grommets

This is a custom letterpress printed design by Smock.

Simplistic Letterpress with Plaza Calligraphy Font

Sometimes you don’t need all the flowers and swirls.  Sometimes all you need is the right text and the right ink.  When Byrd + Bleecker decided to set this up with our #10 card size, it proved that idea quite well!

ink: violet | fonts: lawrence + plaza calligraphy font | paper: 1-ply ivory | printing: letterpress | invite size: #10 | customization #: 15717 |

Our #10 size emphasizes the lovely letterpress impression.
