So if you cut out a square meter of this paper and weigh it, it will weigh 600 grams. For the metrically challenged, myself included, that is 1 pound 5 ounces. This is heavy stock, supplied by Crane & Co, based and manufacturing in the USA.

There’s something about this black that just sends me. Yes, I’m all for color, but sometimes the lack of color is quite settling. So I knocked out just one of these to see what it would look like.

Nice Business Card

June 11, 2010

Printed on Crane Lettra 220# duplex stock. Four passes on the solid black, two passes on the text, two passes on the metallic green. Yikes.

Great client, this is his design. Nice.

Die Cutting

June 11, 2010

We tried die cutting cards today. Makes me wonder what took me so long to try yet another task that the Windmill does well. I’ve mangled many a business card, trying to cut them on a regular paper cutter. So I emailed Bobbie at Key Dies and she graciously helped me through the process of figuring out exactly what I wanted. Once the order was finalized, the die was here almost instantly. That’s a great company.

I periodically do calling cards for my friend Hugo in Maine somewhere and this is the product of our first die cutting effort. Just look at those razor sharp and clean edges. It’s enough to give you goosebumps. Ok, so this is for a narrow audience, but I’m still pretty excited…

NSS

May 20, 2010

Well, we made it into and out of NYC intact. Stuffed with incredible food, visited by lots of new folks and old friends. Our Father’s Day cards were well received as well as our new Dog Wisdom series. Got a lot of inquiries about books for weddings and baby announcements, which we will be jumping on as soon as we get all of our orders shipped out.

Thank you to all who kindly stopped by our booth and super duper thanks to our new customers.

Here’s what we looked like, via iphone.

For Father

May 14, 2010

Father’s Day is coming up and we have some campy and cool cards for the big guy. We’re debuting these at the NSS this coming week.

National Stationery Show- We’re in Booth #1950

May 3, 2010

The heat is on in the proverbial race to actually be ready for this annual extravaganza. There are still around 20 pieces to produce, a new book of personal stationery to assemble, the booth to finish designing and outfitting, and then….cars, skyscrapers and everything.

Botanical 1

April 26, 2010

We’re doing a series of these. This is the first. Very traditional and sumptuous.

Birthday Cones

April 24, 2010

It’s a birthday bonanza here at ye olde print shop. Another new piece for the NSS. Four colors no less, and commensurately difficult (expensive) to make. But I think it looks pretty nice. We’ll be in Booth #1950, so do drop on by if you’re in the area. illustration/design: ©Elizabeth Weaver/Leslie Kedash
