We worked with our dear friend Hollis of Bering’s to create Jiries’ graduation announcement and party invitation. This square card is classic and contemporary. The layout and the color palette work together to create a card that is equal parts celebration and professional.
This graduation announcement has a classic and refined style with a clean, professional design. The layout is elegant and symmetrical, centered around gold matte foil that conveys a sense of sophistication. The typography is minimalist, sleek, and formal. The Caduceus symbol, coupled with the class year at the top, anchors the design. The emblem features heavy foil coverage, which is contrasted by the open font used for the graduate’s name.

The envelope liner is an opportunity to show pride for the University of Texas. Our rust digital ink is a close match to the school’s signature burnt orange. The liner features gold matte foil stamping in our capone pattern over a full flood of rust digital. The envelope liner pattern is modern and contemporary, keeping it aligned with the card design. The overlapping diamond shape of the pattern is reminiscent of the twirling and twisting snakes from the Caduceus symbol, further tying all of the elements together.
Overall, the style is modern classic elegance. The design blends clean minimalism with traditional academic prestige and a touch of luxury through the use of gold matte foil. Congratulations to Jiries! We are thrilled to have had the opportunity to create this card. Do you need a custom-designed card to announce a milestone or invite people to a celebration?

This custom-designed wedding invitation suite features hand calligraphy, a darling tag emblazoned with a monogram, and luxurious details, such as beveling, foil edging, and silk ribbon. We worked with our dear friend Mickey from the Social Type on this extravagant suite.
This invitation suite is lovely, but the use of hand calligraphy elevates the look. The couple chose the Wisteria hand by our dear friend, Debi Zeinert. Adding hand calligraphy to your invitation suite tacks on a few days to the design process, as the calligrapher requires time to create the artwork; however, the results are well worth it. Please note that revisions require additional turnaround time. The calligraphy looks dazzling, and the gold matte foil highlights the flourishes. The serif font maintains the formality of the look and beautifully coordinates with the hand calligraphy.

A die-cut tag bearing the bride and groom’s initials is secured around the invitation with silk ribbon. The tag features the bride’s initial in extravagant hand calligraphy, intertwined with the groom’s initial, which appears in a regal serif font.
Gold matte foil is also used to accentuate the beveled edge on both the invitation and the details card. The glimmer of the foil extenuates the 45º edge. The envelope liner is also custom and was designed using the Elide rose motif. The floral envelope liner softens the overall look of this suite while adding a hint of romance.

The standout feature of this invitation is the two-letter duogram created using the overlapping initials of the bride and groom’s first names. This custom artwork is foil embossed, creating a raised, gilded appearance. The remaining text is foil-stamped in the same color, tawny shine for consistency. The foil stamping process gently pushes the foil into the thick 2-ply stock.

Our lovely friends at Sweet Paper in La Jolla, California, helped Alexandra and Jan create this timeless wedding invitation customization of our “Elton” design. The couple retained the double-line border but changed the fonts, swapped the color paper for our Bella smooth cotton, and removed the branch motif to better suit their black-tie affair.
The classic combination of Champagne Matte foil and crisp white paper was complemented by some of our most popular embellishments, including mother-of-pearl silk ribbon, metallic gold thread, and metallic seashell envelope liners.
