These are a gift to a future couple from their soon to be aunt-in-law. We just luff this color combination.
Design by Kedash Design. Printed on Crane's Lettra 300gsm pearl white stock on a Heidelberg Tiegel press - 3 color PMS match

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.

A2 - top fold - blank interior - Lettra Pearl White 300gsm. We tried overprinting two  colors on this one and didn't "knock out" the places where the colors overlap. The results here are interesting but, we did one with two very light colors and got the areas where the paper is hit with two colors to give a nice blend of both colors into another one. I learned about this technique from a talented printer in the UK. If I can find the card, I'll shoot it and post it here.

Neiman Marcus will be carrying this card in their online store in the near future. 

These are A2 size, 4.25 x 5.5 and are flat, two color, and efficient to make. Great for those (thankfully, still) mandatory thank you notes or as a nice restrained notecard. Another pick by Neiman Marcus for their Spring online catalogue.

We've often thought that the male of the species has been sadly neglected by designers of personal stationery. Hey, men are people too, right?  (there are those who might question this) There are a few of us left who know the value and satisfaction of sending a hand written note on a beautiful piece of paper. So...for all you men (and self assured women) out there, here's the first of our "Man" cards. These are printed on Crane Lettra paper, which is 100% cotton and derives from waste products destined for the old dump. Can you say green? We're kind of tired of the "greener than thou" self righteous hollering of every business that uses actual materials to manufacture their product, but we feel ok using this paper. It's also made here in the USA, where powerful little still is. So, no trees, no dump, Rosie the Riveter and all that jazz. Do something to stop the decline of civility, instant everything and facetweet. Write a note, your mother would be proud of you.
