It’s almost time for the 2015 National Stationery Show! To kick things off, we recently sent out announcements to spread the word on our new offerings for this year’s show. We chose a sophisticated color palette of black, white, and gold matte foil, and created informative cards that doubled as art prints. Our new foil stamped envelope liners made their debut, and we purchased some gorgeous postage stamps from the USPS as a finishing touch. We hope you’ll come see us at the show — we’ll be in booth #1840!
PS: check us out on Instagram to catch a peek at the postage stamps we used on the envelopes!
We worked with our friends at The Dandelion Patch to create these elegant bridal shower invitations for Genevieve’s celebration at The Hay-Adams. Inspired by our 2013 National Stationery Show mailers, the invitations combined a fresh color pairing of tawny matte foil with mint letterpress ink, with organic leaves blossoming throughout the piece.

We worked with Samantha at Gus & Ruby Letterpress to create these nautical gold foil stamped save the dates for Christine and Adam’s September celebration.

For Morgan and Hunter’s custom photo save the dates, we digitally printed one of their beautiful engagement photos before adding a touch of gold matte foil.

Rainier patterned envelope liners added a splash of color to these elegant photo save the dates.

A 90th birthday celebration calls for an extra special invitation, don’t you think? We worked with Papyrus to create these stunning silver foil stamped invitations and save the dates for Nan’s 90th.

Metallic silver edge painted added an extra touch of glamour to these milestone invitations.

Sara and Richard created a jaw-dropping customization of our Fitzroy invitation design for their December wedding in Palos Verdes. The couple worked with Melody at Urbanic to customize the design, which included a full flood of digitally printed black ink and bits of our anemone vintage print pattern. After we digitally printed the invitations and insert cards, we added tawny matte foil stamping in our Plaza calligraphy font. The vintage anemone print pattern was included on the envelope liners as well, tying the entire set together. Pretty gorgeous, huh?
