Letterpress + Gold Foil Cocktail Recipe Box Set

We’re known to enjoy a cocktail or two here at Oh So Beautiful Paper, so I was intrigued when Jessica from Suitor sent over her newest project: a box set of cocktail recipes in collaboration with a non-profit organization called Prescription Well Being.  The set includes six recipes letterpress printed on thick cotton paper and with a graphic striped pattern on the back – all enclosed in a cute box with “Barkeep!” printed in gold foil.  Such a fun idea!

From Jessica: We designed a set of cocktail recipe cards enclosed in a gold foil printed box as part of a collaboration with Prescription Well Being, a non-profit that provides on-site beauty treatments for women and children living with cancer.  The box set includes six recipe cards with favorite cocktails from Glossed & Found’s most memorable guests Kelly Wearstler, Bobbi Brown, Katrina Markoff, and Christina Zilber.

Each card is letterpress printed by Rohner Letterpress on Cordeon thick white stock, packed in a gold foiled stamped box, and paired with four vintage cocktails swizzle sticks (no two boxes are the same!).  All proceeds from sales of the box set will go to Prescription Well Being.

Hand Lettered Stationery from Lindsay Letters

I’ve been a big fan of calligrapher Lindsay Sherbondy – aka Lindsay Letters – ever since coming across an awesome gold foil baby announcement that she lettered and designed a while back. Lindsay just opened up a brand new shop full of letterpress stationery with her lovely calligraphy!  The new collection includes everything from personalized stationery to holiday party invitations and photo cards to art prints.

Amritha + Josh’s Red and Gold Letterpress Wedding Invitations

You might remember these purple and gold foil wedding invitations from a couple weeks ago, and today designer Rashi Birla is back with another stunning wedding invitation suite!  The combination of a red and gold color palette and graphic elements inspired by the wedding’s floral designs help create an invitation design that is both elegant and modern.  Love!

From Rashi: Amritha and Josh wanted their wedding invitations to be elegant and fun.  Their wedding was full of bold and bright flowers, so I wanted to play off of that motif and make the invitations very graphic with floral illustrations.  Amritha loves the color red, so we chose to letterpress print the invitation design in gold and red ink.

We were able to keep the invitation sophisticated by keeping most of the graphic elements and type in red, and adding hits of gold in the right places. The invitation was held in place with a letterpress printed bellyband that had a Sanskrit proverb on the front.

{happy weekend!}

What. A. Week. While we weathered the storm pretty well here in DC, my thoughts have been with those in New York and New Jersey affected by Hurricane Sandy.  The images and stories of the destruction are completely overwhelming and I know the road to recovery, much less the restoration of power, will be a long one.  When I haven’t been completely glued to the news, somewhere between last weekend and today, my little Sophie suddenly stopped looking like a newborn and started looking like a real baby.  She’s getting bigger each and every day, even though she’s still smaller at 7 weeks than some newborns, she’s paying closer attention to objects, and she’s smiling at us!  The smiles just make my heart melt.  This weekend we’re planning to visit our favorite flea market and relax at home, but in the meantime…

…a few links for your weekend!

This week on Oh So Beautiful Paper:

That’s it for me this week!  I hope you all have a wonderful weekend, and I’ll see you back here on Monday – when I’ll start sharing some of my favorite holiday cards! xoxo

Amy + Kenn’s Ombre and Gold Foil Nautical Wedding Invitations

Happy Monday!  I hope all my East Coast friends are safe and sound as Hurricane Sandy passes through.  We’re having a quiet day at home here in DC – not that we have any other option since the government and all public transportation is closed due to the storm!  So today I’m envisioning a warm and rain-free beach vacation with these wedding invitations from designer Carina Skrobecki.  Created for a destination wedding in the U.S. Virgin Islands, Carina incorporated an ombre effect in tropical colors along with travel-inspired and nautical design elements – a fantastic combination!

From Carina: Amy and Kenn are getting married in the U.S. Virgin Islands in December. So when they came to me to design their St. John-inspired wedding invitations, I knew I had an opportunity to incorporate the rich and exotic colors naturally found on the island and have some fun bringing in an ocean/travel theme.

The suite came together with lush orange and coral tones, along with deep blue.  We created an ombre effect, which was digitally printed on all the pieces to tie everything together. The main invitations were then kissed with gold foil, which brought out the names of the bride and groom.

Amy and Kenn wanted a monogram with an anchor to use on other printed materials, so we created a small design that was then used on a custom stamp to seal the envelopes.

We drew inspiration from the beautiful St. John sunsets, natural materials such as rope and linen, and travel postcards. When doing research, I found an old lithograph of St. John created in the late 1800s by a Danish artist, and that became the inspiration for the postcard RSVP.
