Theresa from b.t. elements sent over these beautiful red and white invitations from her brand new letterpress collection.  Theresa chose a minimalist and crisp design for the main invitation while bringing in a unique die cut outer envelope and bold white calligraphy.  Theresa even did the beautiful calligraphy herself – so pretty!

From Theresa: I love the beauty of the letterpress printing process and wanted to design an invitation that was clean and simple, working with just the relationship of small and large type.  The crisp design of this invitation was really inspired by the printing method itself.  I’m always inspired by strong bold colors that stand well on their own – red is one of those colors.  It’s bold, striking, and just a timeless color.

At b.t. elements we’re known for our custom pockets and folders, so I added in a very simple back pocket – you always need a place to tuck in those extra enclosures.  And we never overlook the envelope.  Our fancy cut envelopes are new this year and a big hit.  It’s so wonderful to see that envelope come in the mail.

The handwriting on the envelope is my own; I’ve been trying to teach myself calligraphy so I’ll take any practice I can get.  I love the contrast of the white on red.

Lovely!  Thanks Theresa!
