E! News Again

So this is long overdue but we were featured on E! again for the second baby shower invite for Jessica Alba. It was such an honor to have done her shower invitations, and that it's big news for Papeterie to be mentioned on E! Like the first one, we letterpressed these on lavendar wildflower seeded cardstock.

Hot Off the Press

We just finished this letterpress job over the weekend and I am in love with the turquoise color of the monogram! The design is simple and classic but the turquoise just gives it a nice punch of color.

Jessica Alba's Tea Party Invite

We are still looking for the clip but here is a scan of the first shower invite (we did 2 and the second one can't be released until after her second shower). This was a little folded invite that we letterpressed on seeded paper (plant it and it will grow into wildflowers) and was included with a tea cup that was sent to guests.

E! News

Last night, we were mentioned on E! News tonight for the baby shower invitation that we designed for Jessica Alba's tea party shower. Clip and picture upload coming soon, but it was so exciting as they showed the invitation. Our pressman was screaming (he doesn't scream).

Return Address Printing

Many of our customers don't realize that when they opt for return address printing as part of their invitation package, that we do something more than just print your address in black ink so I thought I'd share some examples! Since we have put up a picture of a set on the front page of the website, we have gotten many questions regarding return address printing. So yes, if you order return address printing with your invitations, we actually try to incorporate a design with it. Here is an example of the dandelion and the starfish:
And when the pattern is difficult to make a design, we still will at least put a decorative box around it:

Notecard Spotlight

Though we still can't reveal specifically who our first celebrity client is, I can post a picture of the baby notecards we designed for her use after her baby shower. Stay tuned as we launch our Baby section with a collection of thank you cards.

New Designs!

We've just added 2 new designs to the handmade section. Since the trellis in the "Classic" is so popular, we decided to incorporate it in an embellished version called the Desiree and Mark. I absolutely love the colors! The strawberry cover is so refreshing and the ink was a darker strawberry for the flowers. The inside allows for tucking of the enclosure cards on the left hand side.
The second new design is a variation of the Julianne and Brian in a horizontal version. I love this as well because of the tiffany colored cover (at Papterie, we sometimes have a hard time designing with colors other than pinecone or java just because it goes with everything!) and the white bow. This is so lovely for a classic and elegant wedding! The inside is designed in swirls and has a pocket for holding enclosure cards.

Of course, invitations in this collection are customizable with ink colors, over 30 cardstock colors, and ribbon colors. I can not wait to post more variations of the invitations in the handmade section that we have designed for different clients.
