Antique Black Champagnium

Back in April of 2015 we printed some excellent business cards for designer Amanda Benincasa. And then a few months later, she asked us to print her wedding invitations.

The background floral image is actually just Pantone black ink — but when printed on the black Rising Museum Board, it creates a sort of bronze effect (take a look at our tintype photo frames for the same combo in a different setting). And for the text, we did a custom mix of gold and silver to match Envelopments Champagnium stock.

For the reply cards we used the same ink but with our pearl white cotton paper for easier writing.

Business Cards for Virile Heart & Heritage

For the New Jersey grooming gurus at Virile, we printed these thick two-sided cards on 600g pearl white Lettra with tinted white and black inks. We finished them with a rich brick edge paint.

To help the impression pop, we like to use white ink tinted with a little bit of silver rather than print a completely inkless blind impression.

New Parklife Invitation Style: Paige

Occasionally we design a custom invitation for a client, and we love it so much we decide to keep it for ourselves. This one, originally designed for Paige and Clayton's January wedding, will soon be added to Parklife's wedding collection.

The new Paige invitation set is printed with black ink and a blind impression on 300g Ecru White paper, paired here with a subtly metallic black envelope liner. Fonts are Neutra Caps and one of our favorite scripts, Parfumerie.

Client Feature: STIR Creative Group

Over the past few years we've worked with Greensboro, NC creative agency STIR on a number of print projects. Today we're featuring some of our favorites — designed by STIR and printed by Parklife.
