I produced these invitations for Alexandra League and Douglas Hughmanick, co-workers of mine at Level Studios. Doug handled the design work and I helped letterpress the invites along with the RSVP cards. Paper used for this project was Paper 140 lb.

This project was designed by Jorge Fino for his son Julian. Printed on Crane Lettra Paper 110 lb florescent. This project was one of the hardest projects I have done so far during my adventure into letterpress. Basically found out that my press was no plained evenly and went through a few different processes to get it to the point where it would press correctly. Overall though this project turned out really nice, considering the amount of detail and registration required.
My sister is getting married soon, and I had the opportunity to design and letterpress her invitations. They are printed on Holyoke Antique Paper 140 lb. I actually noticed during this project that I completely messed up on the polymer plate making process. If you notice where the orange and blues leaves are, the stems where not suppose to show through. I accidentally forgot to fix that in the illustrator file before sending to get the plate made. Even though its clearly a mess up, I actually kind of liked the look of it better.
I designed these cards a few months ago, and finally got the time to letterpress. They were done on Crane Lettra Fluorescent 110 lb paper. I also used a creasing matrix on the press, which was pretty easy to do. The cards were sewn together at the top, thanks Tricia for you help on this. I did run into some issues with having it not ink in certain areas, so there was a lot of make ready to do beforehand. I ran into some headaches with this project, but overall am very happy with the outcome.
A friend of mine needed some tags made for his clothing line called Bang! Whimper. The tags are done on Mohawk Fine Paper Proterra, 110 double thick cover (298 gsm). The paper has a kraft looking feel to it, and really goes well with the clothing line that is coming out soon.
A friend of mine from work is getting married soon, and I helped design and letterpress his invitations,rsvp card, and envelopes. They are printed on Holyoke Fine Paper 140lbs Premium Cotton. What is great about this paper is its pretty soft, and a great price for what you get. They also come pre-cut which saves a bit of time. I also took the time to round the corners for them. The envelopes were purchased from a local shop in San Luis Obispo called Paper Sky.
So I decided I wanted to also produce the I Love you Card with some metallic silver. Here is some sample images.
So I finally got some ink and started my first project. It was a design I did for my wife for valentines. Unfortunetly I didnt get it done in time, but here it is. The area inside the heart where you would write in the name. This is printed on Crane Lettra, 110lbs Fluorescent paper.
