My Business Cards – and new sponsor introduction!
As I get ready to head up to the National Stationery Show this weekend, I figured it was about time to have some business cards made up for myself. I jumped at the chance to work with Suann from simplesong design. Suann really went above and beyond for this little project, creating an absolutely gorgeous set of business cards and matching letterpress note cards:
The business cards were printed in soft gray ink with a blind stamped patterned background on Crane’s 110# bright white cotton lettra paper, while the note cards were printed on pearl white 110# lettra:
I love, love them – and I’m very much looking forward to sending some notes on my new stationery! Thanks so much Suann!
I’m also very excited to announce that simplesong designs is my newest sponsor here at Oh So Beautiful Paper! As you can tell, I truly adore Suann’s work – from her readymade cards to her custom wedding invitations, baby announcements, and business collateral:
Liesl + Jeremy’s Red and White Floral Wedding Invitations
I’m super-excited about today’s real invitations – I’ve been hoping to feature the paper ephemera from Liesl & Jeremy’s wedding ever since I fell in love with Liesl’s gorgeous wedding dress after seeing photos from their wedding on Once Wed back in October. Liesl and Jeremy, as well as Kim from La Vie Photography, have been kind enough to send over tons of photographs and background behind the paper ephemera from their wedding.
First up, Liesl and Jeremy’s Save the Date postcards and gorgeous wedding invitations:
Our save-the-date card was the first thing a lot of people saw — it featured an iguana (Hank) climbing the Space Needle, and the exhortation, “Save the date! Or else the city will be destroyed by a giant iguana!!” The design drew from the World’s Fair as well as the classically comical monster movies of old Hollywood:
On the opposing side we had the necessary details as well as a strip of photos of us as if from an upright photo booth, bordered by the film strip details to keep the art deco feel, as well as a few other jokes that our friends and family might recognize. We thought this really set the tone for the wedding:

Liesl & Jeremy worked with a local stationer in Seattle to select their wedding invitations. They settled on a beautiful booklet fold-out layout, with the main wedding invitation on the left and an invitation to their rehearsal dinner on the right. RSVP cards were enclosed inside with matching envelopes:
From Liesl: The wedding invitations were a beautiful coral red color inspired by my secret desire to walk down the aisle in Scarlett O’Hara’s sexy red velvet dress from Gone With the Wind.

I also completely adore the custom Ketubah and polaroid guest book that Liesl and Jeremy incorporated into their wedding:
I’ve got lots more lovely ephemera from Liesl & Jeremy’s wedding to share with you – so check back a bit later for more photos and design inspiration!

Ceremony Programs for Stephanie
Just finished my latest project – custom ceremony programs and menus for a lovely bride all the way across the globe in Australia.  Stephanie and her husband will be having a re-confirmation ceremony (since they’re already legally married) for family and friends in Sydney, Australia in a few weeks.  The programs and menus featured Steph’s colors of dark brown text on off-white linen paper, with graphics in red, orange, and coral and embossed corners.
All pictures by me, you can view the full set here.
