Olive green letterpress moving cards

When a stationery shop owner moves, you know they’re going to have stylish moving announcements! Recently we worked with Carolyn, owner of The Write Touch in Jacksonville, Florida, for her letterpress moving cards. The double-sided cards featured our Plaza calligraphy font on the front, with our lemons vintage print pattern adding a hint of flair to the back. Lined envelopes and corner rounding were chosen as finishing touches on these sophisticated cards, but our favorite detail has to be the petite paw print for Nicholas, Carolyn’s beloved golden retriever – so sweet!

Romantic floral watercolor bridal shower invitations

We worked with Shayne at Ink Papery to create these darling invitations for Chelsea’s bridal shower. Letterpress printed in pink ink, the invitations feature our Plaza calligraphy font and a gorgeous patterned backing filled with romantic floral watercolors. We duplexed the letterpress invitation to the digitally printed patterned backing to make the invitation ultra thick, then edge painted the piece with pretty pink ink as a finishing touch. MaryKate Moon addressed the invitation envelopes in a pretty pink ink to match, and also calligraphed matching table cards and place cards for the celebration.
