Paper Guppy Inspiration

fun with stamps

For Amy and Ryan along with Jenny and Kip we decided to have some fun with their stamp placements. On Jenny and Kip's save the date we integrated their fly fishing design into the stamp so the fisherman was catching the stamp, making it a part of the design and not so much an after thought. Amy and Ryan had a winter, retro, ski theme for their wedding so on their response postcard we found it fitting for the polarbear stamp to ride the chair lift! Working an element that normally serves just for function into the design.

 

downtown elegance

Lauren and Dan wanted a simply elegant inviation set that was unique to them. So we contracted Kelle to hand letter their names and monogram. With the ornate details of Kelle's caligraphy, we created a custom flourish that was foil stamped in matte silver on the invitation. This flourish also echoed throughout each peice. We finished it off with a custom wax seal with their monogram, something that Lauren and Dan can use and treasure forever.

there's a new cowboy in town!

It was such a pleasure to work with Sydney and Chad on their wedding invitations that we were delighted to learn that we would be working with them on their baby annoucements. Once baby Declan arrived Sydney decided on a western theme for their new little cowboy.  We used a font with a western feel and illustrated western icons for a letterpress printed annoucement and a custom envelope liner. Giddy Up!

more style me pretty love!

A couple months ago we were asked to create wedding stationery for a Style Me Pretty inspiration to reality shoot. The inspiration board had soft pink tones and ribbon details which brought us to create the ribbon flower illustrations that appeared on the invitation, menu, candle table numbers, and the escort books which also doubled as favors. Head over to Style Me Pretty to see the inspiration board that started it all, and all of the fabulous photos taken by James Christianson.
