Foil Stamped Wedding Invitations August 8, 2009
Seeing as we have not posted in a while, I knew the next post had to blow everyone away!
Kelly and Steve are getting married in Canada this fall in this breathtakingly beautiful hotel and wanted to have their invitations reflect the whole experience. Using colors reminiscent of fall; chocolate brown, ivory and copper, we created a beautiful invitation suite using the printing method of foil stamping.
Foils come in a variety of finishes including shiny, matte, and holographic. It is also a great way to show light colors on dark stock such as the white text on the cotton chocolate paper shown below. Unlike our letterpress printed pieces we do not give it much impression. A light impression is best when it comes to foil.
I think the coolest part of this invite suite is how the design on the envelope carries over on the flap giving your guests a wonderful first impression.
wow, these are beautiful! the carry over on the envelope is a really really nice touch.

They look great. What kind of foil stamping equipment did you use?

Came across your blog while perusing another and think these invitations are breathtaking. You also introduced to me a new technique.
