Check out these personalized Tallulah letterpress baby announcements. Our friends at Nest Paper Studio in Oxford, Mississippi submitted these precious baby announcements to us for printing. The silhouette at the very top makes these all the more elegant and truly adds a personal touch. We truly adore the bold color palette of our papaya and peacock inks on these. We can only imagine how excited the proud family is to announce the arrival of their new bundle of joy!

Our fabulous friends at By Invitation Only in Little Rock, Arkansas submitted these custom save the dates to us for printing! We were completely blown away when we saw the end result — we knew these had to be a part of our annual design contest. These save the dates were actually printed for Paige – one of the lovely ladies at By Invitation Only. It was our pleasure to work on save the dates that just overflow with sweetness.
Choosing our smaller card size (S5) is a wonderful way to help keep costs down and with this set, the smaller card really worked – since the back of the card reads small card, big party – and with letterpress on both the front and back these save the dates are so beautifully textured and without a doubt, one of a kind!

Urban Coast in Belleair Bluffs, Florida proudly hosted an event honoring Bryan Rafanelli – a renowned event planner and founder of Rafanelli Events.
As you may know, Bryan Rafanelli’s exquisite sense of style, attention to detail and ability to transform clients’ visions into unforgettable celebrations have made him a go-to planner for the most exclusive and high-profile events. From Chelsea Clinton’s “wedding of the decade” to fairytale-themed galas for Massachusetts General Hospital for Children to celebrations for the inauguration of President Barack Obama –he has produced it all!
And Urban Coast chose Smock to create the beautiful letterpress invitations to this extraordinary event. WE WERE ECSTATIC!!!
The design itself is incredible. Layers of bamboo paper, die-cut into Smock’s new Chesapeake shape, fill a custom letterpress sleeve. The warm summer colors of papaya and taupe feel perfect for a June event. The Everett and Seneca patterns, all letterpress printed, create sophisticated textures as well. This set screams touch me, feel me, love me!
Mr. Rafanelli, I hope we made you smile!

One of our greatest reviewed Rhon designs, brought to us by Margaret at Scriptura. Having struggled to find just the right color combination, Margaret eventually struck gold…or should we say, “struck papaya?”
The papaya ink worked very well with the offset shell and lettepressed pewter. The addition of the program fan was a great way to tie everything together — the full set looks amazing.

We recently had the pleasure of printing these gorgeous die-cut invitations for our friends at Urban Coast in Florida!

Taupe and Papaya inks on our white bamboo paper made for a chic, summery look that we just adore.

Sophisticated script paired with Hebrew text make for a fresh and lady-like invitation.
Today’s Smock Design Contest honoree is a great custom folded save the date design created for our friends at Byrd & Bleecker in Fort Worth, Texas. We offset printed this design in pewter and papaya inks and used a fun seahorse motif perfect for a wedding in the Bahamas. The envelope is lined in our seneca pattern in papaya and we love the unique look and feel of this custom design. Congratulations to the folks at Byrd & Bleecker for being an honoree in our Smock Design Contest and thank you for sending us this great design!
