Invitations Featuring Blind Emboss on Handmade Paper
Elevated beach charm makes this invitation, featuring a blind emboss on handmade paper along with dreamy velvet accents, a beautiful wedding suite. The bride and groom, Madelene and David, selected our Toussaint design and worked with our dear friend Jessica at Rock Paper Scissors in Tennessee. Some subtle yet impactful design choices made this invitation the perfect fit for a wedding on the sandy shores of St. George Island, Florida.
Embossing is a technique that bumps the artwork out from the paper, creating a raised texture. This design features the couple’s names in Vintage Heirloom, a dramatic script font, printed in blind emboss, which further highlights the elegant curves of the font. The natural texture and deckle edge of the handmade paper give these invitations an organic feel, while still maintaining an air of elegance. A velvet belly band in camel coordinates with the letterpress ink on the invitation and reply card.
Velvet also appears on the inner envelope liner. The liner is foil-stamped with our opaline shine foil in the Thalassa pattern on Bella velvet in camel. The combination of opaline shine foil on camel velvet mimics the look of waves washing across a sandy beach.

Adding a liner to an inner envelope ensures guests can enjoy the design of the liner. Traditionally, the outer envelope is sealed, and the inner envelope is left unsealed. The outer envelope will be cut or torn when opened, leaving the inner envelope liner intact and in perfect condition.
