Classic Black Letterpress Invitation with Pearl Shine Accents

Kyra and Kevin worked with our friends at Blacker and Kooby to create their wedding stationery. Classic black letterpress was used throughout the suite. The invitation card features a winston die cut shape, and matching inset border in pearl shine. The rehearsal dinner invitation card also features an inset border, in letterpress. A foil stamped version of our Tristan floral design is the perfect envelope liner to complete the suite.

Introducing Fairchild

Cassidy Hatch designed the Fairchild Holiday Card for our 2024 Collection, and shares her inspiration below.

Fairchild was an idea I thought of while going to visit my Oma in NC for Christmas last year. We watched A Christmas Carol movie together and it got me inspired to design a card that had a traditional Christmas feel and opened like a book cover, but we could see inside to view the customer’s family picture!

I first built out the framed die cut and laid out the text on the inside. Then I moved on to the font choice and the Color palette; I wanted both to feel like the movie with an 1800s Classic Christmas look with an enchanting and charming feel. I chose our beautiful new Bordeaux paper for the card, paired with the gorgeous Wine Velvet and Mink Matte foil for the envelope liner. I’ve always loved using a foil color for Christmas cards, so I chose Green Shine paired with our Burgundy Shine and Mink Matte for the illustrations. Then I created some Classic Christmas motifs; a long and lush green garland with red bows and sparkly stars. I really enjoyed the process of creating this card and I hope you find it as magical as I do!


As with all of our designs, we can customize the colors of Fairchild. Below is a mockup with Fairchild set in Red Shine, Green Shine, and Champagne Matte on Evergreen stock, with the envelope liner in Fairchild pattern with Champagne Matte on Alpine velvet. The envelope inks are set in Cardinal and Holly MJ.

A vellum overlay with fresh florals from out Louise design tops the invitation card. A digitally printed liner adds the illusion of linen texture.
