Foil stamped Bar Mitzvah invitations with ombre background

Our friend Desiree Jacobs at Heirloom Paper Company took our Amira design and put a fresh spin on it when designing these foil stamped Bar Mitzvah invitations for Jonathan. Instead of keeping the orientation vertical, they decided to hold the card horizontally, creating a unique take on the original design. The background was printed in Peacock, which was a perfect compliment to the Tawny Matte foil wording over top. The vibrant Peacock color was then carried onto the reply card and to the pattern on the envelope liner that tied everything together beautifully. A memorable monogram was also formed from the Hello Beautiful script which added a touch of whimsy to this charming set.

Playful patterned rehearsal dinner invitations

Charlotte and Tim worked with Megan at Sugar Paper to create their playful Palmer rehearsal dinner invitations. Letterpress printed in peacock ink, the invitations featured our Chesapeake die-cut shape and an offset printed patterned backing in our Chablais pattern. Halifax patterned envelope liners were also printed in peacock ink to tie everything together.

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!

Helani Design – Looking Fabulous in Mint + Peacock Inks

Sometimes it’s softness and subtlety that are key.  Check out this overly modern Helani wedding invitation suite submitted by our friends at Stationer of New Orleans in Louisiana.  We adore the choice of such a unique color palette – and pairing our mint + peacock inks together worked wonders for this design, making the invitation look almost vintage.  Then the couple chose our always popular chalain pattern in mint for their envelope liner – tying this set together so nicely.

Personalized Baby Girl Letterpress Birth Announcements

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!

Oceanic Odin Offset additions!

Celia at Urbanic came to us for these “day of” pieces for a September wedding. Our Odin design was a perfect fit, especially when designed using the right cartouche and blend of our ocean and peacock inks. Carrying the design over to the table numbers and place cards was a great way to make the motifs stand out at the reception.
