welcome 2010

We've neglected the blog in the last few months, but we are back on track for 2010. The studio is feverishly working on loads of new designs for brides and a completely new approach to a custom designed invite. We have also decided to ditch one of the enclosure companies....because we are manufacturing our own enclosures! Yay!

So here's a sneak peak at a new design, enjoy.

b+w+a shot of red

This invite was sleek and stylish with our one shot of red there on the tag backing. We printed this with black thermo (raised) and it looks amazing. Love the pattern paper backing inside the enclosure. This white shimmer paper has a luxurious dimpling texture that's just lovely! As one of the assistants said while we were assembling these, can I just curl up in bed with this paper! Love that....

Final piece for Jack's bar mitzvah. We used the JK logo on just about everything from the save the dates to the sticker that went on the goody bag.

Fall Splendor

Kelly and Jason chose a Classic Greenstar Design, but added their own twist.

We did a cherry blossom branch design element which wraps around the exterior of the invite.

Inside boast color as we were able to incorporate two beautiful fall colors.

funky thank yous

Just wrapped up these thank yous for a fabulous bride who wanted nothing ordinary for her wedding!

we did that fab b&w pattern stock with the hot pink stripe and apple green shimmer envelope. thank you notes should always be this fun, it might make them easier to write!

Monti's Masquerade Wedding

This wedding is definately not your typical affair. That's what made working on this project so fun. The wedding is actually taking place on Halloween at an amazing venue here in Chicago. The bride and groom are hosting an masquerade ball for their wedding. We created the invite using eggplant and silver with loads of victorian inspiration. The invites are truly a Halloween Treat to recieve in your mailbox. Look for additional paper goodies to come that will make an appearance at the ball.

Tiffany's Tiffany Blue Wedding

Finally paper accessories for Matt and Tiffany's big day

Champagne tag, place cards and programs.

Note the Super Sassy One Liner on the place cards!
