    Jina Dots Wedding Invitation
    November 7, 2008

    Jina Dots Letterpress Wedding Invitations - Whole Set

    Jina is a designer we have worked with in the past (grape vine letterpress wedding invitations) and if you have seen her designs you know that she is very talented. She designed this invitation set for her own wedding and we are very happy with how they turned out. The invitation features a beautiful vector flower design letterpress printed in purple ink and text in dark gray ink. The invitation is printed on 179# 100% cotton paper that has a slight texture (which is different from our house stock which comes in 110# and 220#).

     The reply card continues the floral theme with a single flower and text printed in purple ink. This 179# paper is great if you want wedding invitations printed on paper that isn’t heavily textured. The RSVP card is paired with an envelope that has a great purple polka dot design letterpress printed on the front with the address in dark gray.

     Jina also designed what we think is just about the coolest map and direction card around. The direction card incorporates the purple and dark gray colors as well as the polka dot theme and is the same size as the invitation. The invitation set envelope is lined in a bright purple and white polka dot paper which is a great match for this set. Take a look at our letterpress wedding invitation album on flickr for more pictures of this set.

    Feathered Flourish Letterpress Stationery - Whole Set

    We have always had an affinity for the chartreuse and pool colors from Paper Source so when we saw that they combined those colors to create some really cool patterns, we couldn’t resist designing some personalized note cards around them. The letterpress stationery set includes an A2 folded card and two different lined envelopes. Email us (or post below) a picture of your favorite patterned pattern and see what we can create for you.
