Alison + Nick’s Whimsical Screen Printed Wedding Invitations

Happy Monday everyone!  I’ve had the pleasure of featuring some of the illustrated nautical wedding invitations from Diane at Faye + Co., and I’m thrilled to be starting the week with this whimsical invitation suite.  I’m loving the bold color palette featuring orange ink screen printed on navy paper – and of course Diane’s gorgeous lettering!

From Diane: This wedding invitation suite uses hand-drawn lettering and a touch of floral graphics on the envelope liner.  Alison and Nick wanted something unique to fit the style of their celebration.  The invitation and rsvp card  were screen printed using gray and orange inks on navy blue stock.

The envelopes were coordinated with the rest of the invitation suite.  The outer envelopes feature hand lettering in white and orange ink along with vintage postage that we sourced online.

{happy weekend!}

Happy Friday everyone!  We enjoyed our first cool and crisp week here in DC – fall has definitely arrived and I couldn’t be happier!  We took Sophie to pick out a couple of pumpkins from our favorite pick-your-own farm in the area, although of course she slept through everything.  We’re getting more comfortable taking longer excursions outside and I’m looking forward to taking Sophie for walks around our neighborhood – particularly now that the leaves are starting to change.  But in the meantime…

…a few links for your weekend:

That’s it for me this week!  I hope you all have a wonderful weekend, and I’ll see you back here on Monday! xoxo

Brew-haha Halloween Party Invitations

We’ve been known to enjoy a good cocktail or two here at Oh So Beautiful Paper, and I love the idea of a cocktail Halloween party!  Maddy and Shauna from A Splendid Party created these modern printable Halloween party invitations in two bright color palettes that would be perfect for just such an occasion.  So fun!

From Maddy: The Brew-haha collection is the latest addition to our shop, and comes in two modern and festive color ways. A group of bubbling potion bottles adorn the invite, giving guests of all ages a hint of the fun to come.

Illustrated Halloween Cards from Maple and Belmont

We rounded up a few favorite Halloween cards earlier this week, but I’m seriously smitten with these Halloween cards from a new-to-me shop – Maple and Belmont.  I think the “Pick Your Poison” card below is my favorite – I can definitely see some Newt Juleps and Zombie Tonics making an appearance at a future Halloween party.  So fun!

Calligraphy Inspiration: Molly Jacques

Recently, while looking through the archive of Calligraphy Inspiration posts, I realized I had completely overlooked someone whose work I was quite familiar with from Sugar Paper and right here on OSBP. I’m talking about the work of Michigan based illustrator, designer, and calligrapher Molly Jacques. Her portfolio is filled with rich colours and charming hand lettering. Her calligraphy styles have always stood out to me for their simple yet emotive qualities. Take a look at some of these stunning examples and I think you’ll agree! – Julie

Molly’s portfolio and blog showcase some really eye-catching work. Such vibrant and opaque hits of colour! That’s really all you need with calligraphy as beautiful as Molly’s.
