sherbert colors and paisley goodness





This wedding invite ensemble was a joy to work on, the color palette alone brightened up dreary winter Chicago days. I am definitely feeling a trend toward coral/tangerine shades. This paisley envelope liner and backing stock is just icing on the cake!

first birthday cuteness

Thanks to my good friend Nanette for letting me create something for little Abby's first birthday. I could not be happier with the way these turned out, glitter and cupcakes? What's not to love?!

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.

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.
