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.

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.

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.
