This is another customer submitted design which became a favorite of the season around the shop. The layout clearly observes the typical rules of invitations with things like hierarchy, balance, weight and a gentle hand. On the other hand, the groom and brides names are completely different fonts, there are at least 4 + different fonts being used and the card was cut to a custom size for specialty envelopes. I won't say what company the designer works for by day but I will say her work combines fashion and the outdoors on the daily. Being this was a Wisconsin wedding, It's clear this is a case of the bride and designer being a fantastic match! - reflex blue on fluorescent white single ply.
Gold foil, blush, reds, great and sea foam appear to be the trend for us this year. We've done more gold foil this season than any past year and we couldn't be more excited to show off the work! Our last post included the quilted pattern while this piece shows off both letterpress and gold foil on 2-ply as well as a stunning, vibrant red painted edge! This design was customer submitted and what an absolute treat it was. So many thanks to Hollis for the opportunity to produce such an amazing invitation suite. Many thanks and love! xoxo - DJL
We had the opportunity to create this wonderfully beautiful quilted letterpress wedding invitation a few weeks ago. We started by pressing the quilted texture into the 2-ply sheets with no ink. Then we followed up with a dark grey ink and gold foil on top to really drive it home. It's almost hard to capture in photographs how refined these are. My dirty fingers aren't helping either I suppose! Contact us today for your more info on letterpress or custom foil invitations!
Many thanks to Steve and Ang - xoxo - DJL!

Maybe once every week or two we get a request wondering if we can letterpress white onto a dark color paper. Well... yes. We actually apply a white foil stamp which gives a 100% opaque result on any color paper stock. Here is a pics of a recent project which features white foil stamping on French Kraft stock.
Our foil stamp service is very very competitively priced compared to standard letterpress printing. Contact us today with any questions or inquiries!
We're printing Pantone 623 for a customer right now and everyone is kinda in love with it.
It's the bees knees.

Yup - This old Kluge has given us its share of headaches but when she's running strong - there's no substitute. We're "Instagraming" every chance we get so for more letterpress shop pics and specials, follow us!
Natalie and I have been playing with Instagram for a while now and finally decided to get something going the shop! We have an awful lot of work coming and going through the shop on a daily basis yet less than 5% ever makes it to the blog. We're hoping the Instagram will help with that! So if you're interested in seeing the ins and out of the shop ona daily basis - look us up!

Julie and Grant had me in type heaven! Working on this letterpress project was a lot of fun. The little bicycle illustration was the final piece that really made the set. These invites really fit their personality to a "T". 
We have a few new invite suites to release and this has definitely been a huge inspiration for one of the designs to come!
