Stationery A – Z: Thinking of You Cards

It’s such a treat to find a hand addressed card amongst the pile of bills and catalogs in your daily mail.  Even better: when someone sends you a card for no other reason than they happened to be thinking of you!  These cards aren’t prompted by a particular occasion, such as birthdays or holidays; some are blank, some are stitched, some sans-text, but all will have you picking up the phone to reconnect or even meet up … in person!  — Tashia

Anna + Mark’s Preppy Yellow and Green Wedding Invitations

Becca from Lavender’s Blue sent over these colorful and preppy wedding invitations that she created for an upcoming summer wedding in Texas.  Becca drew her inspiration from the bride’s color palette and wedding flowers, with a few Texas icons thrown in for good measure.  I’m loving the striped envelope liners and bold belly band!

From Becca: Anna wanted something simple, elegant, and summery – with just a “hint of Texan” – and sunshine yellow and lush green for the colors.  She also had an idea of what flowers she wanted for the wedding, so I worked off of those images to create some summery florals to adorn the invitations.

I created a logo using their initials to include in the invitation, which we ended up using in several elements of the suite, including the address labels, the belly band, and also as a sticker for the envelope flap.  For envelope liners, we went with a striped yellow lining to add elegance and playfulness to the entire suite.

For Anna’s “hint of Texan,” I incorporated a small silhouette of the state of Texas on the main invitation, then used sheriff’s stars for the RSVP card, and a cowboy boot for the post-wedding brunch invitation.

{happy weekend!}

Happy Friday everyone!  It’s been a little over a week with our newest foster kitten and thankfully she’s already feeling much better.  She’s so ridiculously cute and playful, but like most cats spends most of her day sleeping on the couch.  Oh, to be a house cat…  She’ll be available for adoption soon, so if anyone in the DC/VA/MD area is interested in adopting an incredibly sweet 6-month old kitten, please get in touch!  But in the meantime…

Naomi’s Kraft Paper and Calligraphy Save the Dates

I have a confession: it’s enormously difficult for me to resist anything that combines kraft paper and calligraphy.  Calligrapher Tara of Tine and Thread sent over these save the dates that she created for an upcoming wedding, and the addition of gingham envelope liners just put me over the edge.  Too cute!

From Tara: I worked with the bride to create a save the date that complemented the overall vision of her wedding.  Her colors are very rustic, mostly earth tones with a touch of navy.  I chose to use kraft paper with navy blue gingham envelope liners and vintage stamps with blue accents.

I then took her wedding information and went to work.  After two rounds of design, I came up with something that she loved.  My specialty is calligraphy in a circular design and I incorporate that into most of my work.

Ramona + Rudolf’s Air Mail-Inspired Wedding Announcements

I’m a huge fan of air mail-inspired details for weddings, from invitations to day-of details – and of course marriage announcements!  Designer Ramona Todoca designed these postcard-style announcements to share the happy news of her wedding with family and friends, then collaborated with Maggie from Campbell Raw Press to bring the four-color letterpress design to life.

From Maggie: We recently collaborated with designer Ramona Todoca on these air mail inspired announcements for her wedding this past March in Cluj Napoca, Romania.  Ramona and her husband, Rudolf, have nurtured their relationship through an extensive snail mail correspondence between Hong Kong, New York City, and Romania, so the air mail theme suited Ramona and Rudolf perfectly.

The announcements are a postcard-style, one-sided design, printed in red, blue, gray, and one blind impression (no ink) on the double-thick version of Crane’s bright white 100% cotton Lettra stock.  (Yes, that’s four passes through the press!)

The results were marvelously simple, stylish, and personal.  We’re also excited to be collaborating with Ramona on a new wedding invitation collection, including Ramona and Rudolf’s air mail design, that we will begin to offer this coming fall!
