What’s on Press | Business Cards

Catherine's Business Card

 

It’s been awhile since I’ve shared what’s on press, but the truth of the matter is that the press has been busy! These are personal calling cards for a wonderful lady and I loved that she wanted “novice baker” included. And I love the dark indigo that pops against the white stock!

Lilac and Slate Moodboard

I’ve got some new projects in the wings and they are all making me look forward to Spring and Summer — lots of new wedding and bundle of joy projects! I’ve been gathering up some inspiration for a baby shower I’m helping plan. The mom to be is expecting a little girl and I’m really loving this slate and lilac color palette. Off to go start the invitation design!

Iron Leaf Press Holiday Card

A few months back (how time flies!) I printed some holiday cards for Iron Leaf Press. I wanted them to be a bit more unique than a traditional, folded card, so after a bit of brainstorming and designing, a paper ornament came to mind (because who doesn’t like paper and ornaments??).

I happened to have some round coaster stock on hand and figured they would work great. They also make a nice textural element to the cards. I paired them with kraft paper and black ink for a more neutral palette, with a pop of gold in the envelopes and ornament hanger.

These cards are now up for competition in Neenah Paper’s Un-show. Please go take a gander and vote for me. To vote, click here and search for “Iron Leaf Press” on their site.

Neenah Paper also launched The Beauty of Letterpress, a site celebrating all that is letterpress. These cards are posted there and I plan on adding more work there as time goes on. In the mean time, check out the Un-show and take a minute to vote!
