Calling cards by Anna Bond of Rifle Paper Co.

Love these custom calling cards by Anna Bond of Rifle Paper Co… Anna’s portraits are so adorable. Flat correspondence cards are also available in this style for ordering. This would make such a cute gift!

(A Cup of Jo also has a giveaway going on right now for a set of 50 of calling and correspondence cards.)

Sorry the site’s been out of whack the past few days. Thank you to everyone who has been so kind as to alert me of the issue via emails and Twitter. (And extra shouts to Stefan who was kind enough to fix it for me.)

Now that that’s out of the way, please allow me to indulge in some navel gazing and blatant endorsing… I recently had the immense pleasure of working with Ben & Selina over at Studio on Fire to produce a pretty complicated invitation I designed for an upcoming wedding. Seriously, if anyone is looking for a printer, pleeaaaase drop them a line because they were so attentive, thorough and all around lovely people to work with.

Ben & Selina recently did a write up of the invitations they produced for me on their blog, Beast Pieces if you’d like to check it out and see more photos.

Vintage calling cards!

Flickr user Daily Poetics has a fantastic set of photographs of vintage epherma. Old school typography makes me happy. (via Twig & Thistle)

Joy‘s Nantaka Joy e-commerce site is now live and it’s so gorgeous. Love the product photography and, of course, the products themselves! So far on my wishlist? The I Love… Notebook and the Metallic Card Sampler. Congrats, Joy!

Spied Alisha’s work from Palindrome Press on Brooklyn Bride and had to post… The work is so unlike most studios… and it’s totally amazing. Chelsea & Ben’s invite above is my favorite. See Palindrome Press’ Etsy shop here. Please also note that Alisha is offering a 15% discount on custom orders placed this month.

An invite by Two Paperdolls.

Gorgeous work at Two Paperdolls. I particularly love how they show lots of elements from the weddings such as calligraphed place cards and designed drink coasters.

Rebecca of Moontree Press is over at the Design*Sponge guest blog talking about The Handmade Wedding for the next two weeks. She’s got two posts up already and both are chock full of fantastic and creative ideas. Be sure to keep reading all week. Please also be sure to check out her own blog which showcases the amazing letterpress work she does.

The Jeannie invitation. Sets start at $800 for offset printing and $1,200 for letterpress printing.

Melanie Carter from Lucky Paperie sent me a sweet email today to share her letterpress studio. Lovely work, great color sense and typography. I loved the variety of styles she shows. See the invitation portfolio here.

Moo cards found on Flickr: RedHotJezebel's cards. Blancucha's fabulous illustrated cards. Moo calling cards, $19.99 for 100 cards.

Yes, late in the game, I know. I’ve seen these cards advertised on Flickr for the longest but have never actually seen one in person. I was at a great gathering tonight and got a few of these calling cards from some great people I met and was very impressed by the quality of printing and paper stock. Nice hefty stock with a yum satin finish. These cards are done by a company called Moo and work seamlessly with your Flickr account. Order in batches of 100 and recieve cards with images from your own Flickr stream, cropped however you like to fit these skinny-mini calling cards. (You can order 100 cards each with a different image on them… or 100 cards with just one image. Sweet!) The other side can be personalized with up to six lines of text. See what others have done with their Moo cards. I already ordered a set. This could get addicting.

Cutie Pie Sweetheart Valentine, $3.50.

Hope you’re having a lovely Valentine’s Day… We’re totally buried in snow/sleet/hail/rain in New York. (Well, a few inches isn’t exactly buried but for a pedestrian city it’s pretty nightmarish. Says the girl who went to school in Buffalo. Yeah.)
