    Eddie and Jae Young’s Wedding Invites
    March 29, 2010

    Here are some great invites designed and printed by us for Eddie and Jae Young’s wedding that was last week! We’re always trying to create beautiful pieces that are unique and reflect who they are.

    Jae Young wanted to use her favorite flower on her invites so we designed a simple and elegant sleeve to introduce the invite to all her guests. We pressed the flower blind on the sleeves with their first initials at the bottom. From there the invite has the flowers in more detail with her favorite shade of purple.

    We’ll let the photos explain the rest. Take a look and tell us what you think!

    Designer: Andrew Lee
    Stock: 110# pearl white cotton paper (reply card) & 220# pearl white cotton paper (invite)
    Ink Colors: silver, purple (custom mixed – by hand)
    Other: half moon sleeve, Invite envelope, reply envelope

    PeepCode Business Cards
    March 12, 2010

    Dolce_peepcodes3

    Just designed and printed a really nice set of business cards for Geoffrey from Peepcode (Screencasts for developers). It’s a one-sided card printed on thick black (900gsm) paper with sliver ink and a blind deboss. We wanted the design to be subtle and elegant and I think we hit the mark with the debossed logo in the background and the silver metallic ink for the type. The thick paper definitely makes a good first impression too!

    Aeris Aviation Business Cards
    March 8, 2010

    Aeris Aviation Embossed (Front / Back)

    These are probably one of the coolest business cards we’ve designed and printed!  These cards were duplexed by us at Dolce Press with a  140lb black stock and 110lb cotton white stock.  The white side has an extremely high blind EMBOSS and a silver ink letterpress (DEBOSS).  The black side has the contact info letterpress printed in silver ink and the logo is embossed on the back as well.  We also embossed a small dotted divider to break up the text. The custom size and rounded diecut corners add a nice additional touch to the cards.

    If you think these cards are great, check out this company (www.aerisaviation.com).  Aeris Aviation, located in Wisconsin is a company that rents luxury, state-of-the-art aircrafts at affordable rates.  I also had the privilege of getting some pictures from Phil Larder, (one of the partners at Aeris Aviation) of the facility which were A-M-A-Z-I-N-G.  Times like this, I wish I had a Pilots License but luckily for the birds, I don’t.
