Real Wedding: Brandi & Justin

We had so much fun working with Brandi & Justin to create their invitation suite.  We are so into foil stamping on invites - especially for brides and grooms who love silver and gold since it just doesn't have the same pop in letterpress!  Brandi's boxes were calligraphed by Elizabeth Porcher Jones - aren't they just stunning?!  Congrats to the happy couple! s We had so much fun working with Brandi & Justin

Thanks to Steven Canning Photography for the beautiful photos!

Hot off the Press: Silver Foil Holiday Suite

Nothing like saving the best for last!  I've been waiting for weeks to share this last holiday card suite with you.  We created this for one of Haute Papier's dearest friends and long time client, Nancy Margaret.  She wanted a big "wow" factor this year since the birth of her and her husband's first child happened in 2011 and she had the most adorable photograph to share with friends and family.  We still can't figure out how they got all three dogs and the baby to sit still for this great shot by Jennifer Anderson Photography (once our neighbor in Leesburg!).  The cards were printed on Crane's 220# lettra (so luxurious!) with red letterpress and silver foil stamping on both the front and back.  The envelopes were the perfect shimmery red with silver foiled snowflakes falling on both the flap and front of the envelope... and we couldn't have a suite this great without custom stamps as a final touch!  Thank you to The Adlers for giving us the creative liberty, as always,  to put this wintery delight together for you!

Hot off the Press : New Year's Card

We are just completely smitten with the gold and silver foil we did on this Happy New Year card for one of our fabulous vendors in NYC.  I especially can't stop looking at the silver snowflakes on the shimmery charcoal envelopes!  Foil stamping is so in right now and we think it's perfect for the upcoming wedding season too!!!  xoxo

Mmmm ... cookies!

The lovely ladies of Haute Papier are back, rested and gearing up for an oh-so exciting 2012!  Though I'm sure everyone is starting to dig out of their pile of holiday treasures, I wanted to share one gift that I can't stop playing with!  Check out these awesome Fred letterpress cookie cutters sure to please any lover of letterpress and baking.  To say I'm enamored is the understatement of the season!  Thanks, Sarah for this extra thoughtful gift!
