Copper shine foil wedding announcements

We created Francine and David’s wedding announcements by customizing our Palmer design in copper shine foil. The contemporary #10 sized announcements were paired with Ridley patterned envelope liners in our peacock ink, along with a cute return address indicating “the new Mr. & Mrs.” – what a fun idea!

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!

Our #10 size emphasizes the lovely letterpress impression.

Let the Fiesta Begin!

It’s easy to get in the party mood when seeing these custom and vibrant offset invitations!  These colorful invitations were submitted to us by our great friend Kerri at Anne Grace Designs in Dallas, Texas.  We think you’ll agree that the color combination of coral and robin’s egg brings the perfect balance of bright hues.  Not many people are aware that seahorses are a symbol for happiness and these invitations definitely have us feeling good vibes.  Now, who’s ready for a fiesta?
