I thought that I would share our letterpress Christmas cards from this year with you all. I went with a bright cherry red color palette – I am so happy with the way they turned out! They were letterpressed onto thick (I mean really thick) cotton brilliant white cardstock; I then mounted our tree farm photo (taken by our lovely friend Kate Price Photography) onto the card. The envelopes are lined with a fabulous wrapping paper I discovered from Mr. Boddington’s Studio(I pretty much adore all of their products!) and topped off with my calligraphy. I just love so many things about this time of year, but I especially LOVE sending our Christmas greetings and getting cards from all of our loved ones, so fun! Merry Christmas!
These lovely real (yes, real!) wood invitations (and other handlettered wood elements) I designed were recently featured on Style Me Pretty as part of an editorial shoot I collaborated on with some other talented vendors. What a perfect way to bring a bit of the outdoors and a natural, organic feel into your wedding. I packaged them in mailable boxes (with calligraphied addresses and vintage postage, of course!) and tied of the invitations (and the other paper details) with silk hand dipped mustard yellow ombre ribbons. The whole set is just so lovely, I was so pleased with the final product.
The wood invitations were stamped in white ink with a custom made rubber stamp. I also incorporated kraft paper into the set with a flat cream cardstock as a contrasting texture, color.
…And can we talk about the bridal gown?! I am in LOVE with that dress!
Here is the entire paper suite for the shoot… Are you looking for custom invitations and coordinating pieces for your own wedding or event? Let’s chat!
I recently created a wedding menu that was published in the Seattle Bride MagazineBest Of issue. I wanted to share the handmade menus with you because these little letterpress library cards turned menus are just so darn sweet!
I stamped these sweet little letterpress library cards with a custom made rubber stamp menu, I hand lettered them with the bride and grooms names then finished them off with a bit of twine. I think they are such a great, unique way to let your wedding guests (or the guests at your next great party!) know what’s on the menu! If you’re interested in these or another custom project, please contact me for a quote!
And a huge hip hip hooray to Seattle Bride Magazine for featuring me in their latest issue!
