a birthday surprise

We love getting to work on fabulous ideas around here - especially when they are a secret squirrel surprise!! Kristina from Mala designed these coasters as a surprise 40th Birthday gift for her husband Tym. He is an avid collector of vintage bourbons and whiskeys which he houses in his retro Scorpion Bar. As Tym is a letterpress lover, Kristina combined all these loves into custom designed coasters which we printed and die cut on Herbie on Beer Coaster Board.

Happy Birthday Tym, We hope that you loved the surprise!

susie & matt :: save the date cards

The gorgeous Susie & Matt are getting married in Spring 2011, and we had the pleasure of meeting with them and planning some gorgeous save the dates to suit their amazing wedding they have planned. The brief was for a design which was striking, beautiful and full of old world glamour.

Letterpress printed on our 100% cotton stocks, we worked with classic black on white, with delicate scalloped corners and printed envelopes.

It was such a joy to work with this gorgeous couple - we now cannot wait to start designing the invitations!

laura & tim :: placesettings

To you remember the fabulous Laura & Tim? You might remember the save the date and invitation work for them here and here?

Well the time has come them to tie the knot this Saturday and we were super pleased to letterpress print our bespoke placesetting tags for their reception. These come supplied with satin ribbon so they are ready to make a beautiful table setting tied around napkins, gifts and the like.

We wish Laura & Tim a beautiful wedding day of love and laughter - thank you for letting us share the journey with you. It really has been such a joy!

robert & jennifer :: wedding stationery

Recently we had the pleasure of designing stationery for my cousin and his bride to be. The brief was for something classic, something elegant and something to reflect the historic sprawling country estate of Terrara House.

Featuring a divine vintage tree etching we combined classic and elegant typography with a beautifully textural quilted blind impressed pattern. The invitations were housed inside printed envelopes with a pinstripe lining and accompanied by a matching reply card and additional information card. The stationery suite also included order of service cards, menus and placesettings.

A gorgeous stationery suite for a gorgeous couple. Congratulations Rob & Jen, we cant wait to help celebrate with you this weekend!
