Calligraphy – paperfinger

Last week, I received an e-mail from Bryn introducing me to her calligraphy service, paperfinger.  Based in Brooklyn, paperfinger focuses on modern and playful calligraphy styles, offering a valuable resource for brides seeking an alternative to
traditional calligraphy. 

Bryn will provide handwritten and
illustrated work for everything from weddings and events to keepsakes
and custom projects.  Here are a few examples from the paperfinger portfolio:

Inspiring Packaging

The Dieline is a blog that's all about packaging – new designs, new products, and why the packaging works or doesn't work. To be honest, I almost never read the text – I just scroll through the photos. And every once in awhile there's something that really inspires me – that I could just see translated into a wedding invitation or party favors or a birthday gift. Here are some of my favorites…

Belvoir

Belvoir Fruit Farms via The Dieline. Don't you think the angled label, and the font, along with the simple floral illustration would be lovely as an address on invitations?

Mccraws

McCraw's Confections via The Dieline. I love how retro this is, while at the same time clean and modern. I think the colors would be nice for a stationery set, maybe with a monogram inspired by the company's logo.
Mastbros

Mast Brothers Chocolate via The Dieline. Wouldn't you love to see envelopes lined in paper like this? It would be a great way to dress up an otherwise simple invitation or note. Or maybe favors wrapped in a variety of fancy papers and displayed together. Okay, and I'd really like to try this chocolate, too…

Letterpress Studio – Sensura Studio

I’ve had the letterpress portfolio from Sensura Studio bookmarked for a while, and I keep coming back to Sensura’s fun and innovative design sensibility.  Some of my favorites are the invitations and social stationery:


{invitations to a 90th birthday}


{tickets to a gathering at an art gallery}


{invitations to a Halloween party}


{I love, love the flower pattern repeated throughout this invitation suite}
