Jen strikes me as more of a bold, graphic pattern kind of person. She works in fashion design and is always impeccably dressed. When we were discussing her personal stationery she expressed interest in the vintage French swashes and swirls that have made appearances in my previous designs. I figured I would give her a sampling of both graphic pattern and vintage French ~ we’ll let her decide which suits their personal style.



Do you recall the vintage postcard I got for Christmas from Mr. D’s Auntie? That inspiration led to this design:

Last year it was raspberry and black or navy and silver. I don’t care what Pantone says about turquoise, this year it seems that every bride wants some shade of purple! This letterpress mini-stationery suite just came back from print and I think it turned out quite lovely, don’t you agree? I call it a mini-suite because it includes just two pieces – a folded invite and weekend festivity card. Everything else will be handled online for this destination wedding in paradise!

*Please note that the shade of green is the same throughout the suite, it was simply a change in the light that changed how it appears in the photograph!*

There have been many blog mentions and website features about my cards – the support has been tremendous, and really quite flattering. Thanks again to everyone who has visited my little Pop-Up shops over the last few weeks. xxoo

These folded letterpress cards are printed in raspberry color ink on #110lb Cranes ecru color paper. They are $5 a piece. I only printed 200 of them – so once they are gone, they’re gone! I send every piece via USPS Priority mail with delivery confirmation – a flat fee of $4.95 and guaranteed delivery in 2-3 days. International orders have the choice of First Class International mail which is $4.81. Unfortunately, there are no delivery confirmations or tracking numbers for international orders. The best news is that there are not one but two different ways to shop!
