This is a letterpress graduation announcement we printed recently for a local Ithaca College student. The design features a simple anchor printed in navy blue (which you may recognize from our wedding invitation line in our product catalog) and a nice script font also printed in blue on textured 100% cotton paper. The paper and the simplicity of the design gave the invitation a special look and feel which is just what the soon-to-be college graduate wanted. To add a little bit extra, we printed the anchor on the navy blue envelope in silver ink which gave it a nice shimmer. Here is a close shot of the invitaiton which shows the  anchor and script text:

This was a fun project to work on, sort of like a mini-wedding invite, and was a nice break from our busy print queue of business cards and wedding invitations. In addition to letterpress wedding invitations, we have printed letterpress baby announcements (more on this to come soon), graduation announcements, anniversary parties invitation, and many more. We’re so happy to bring the craft and style of letterpress to all of these events.

Today is the day I finally put some letterpress designs up on my products page!  So please indulge me and take a look at my hard work.

Please check back this weekend, I will be posting a small sampling of products (especially holiday cards) for purchase online.  Happy Letterpressing!
