We recently printed these business cards for Erie, Pennsylvania photographer Rachel Lusky. We like the slightly different size of these cards – it’s surprising what a half inch difference can make on a business card. (These are 3 x 2, whereas most are 3.5 x 2). The front of the card has a sweet little frame around her name, and the reverse is printed with the palest of purples, acheiving an almost watermark-like effect. Enjoy, Rachel!
We recently got to print these fun student portfolio poster announcements for the fine folks at AIGA of Harrisburg. We’re a fan of the hairy letterpress legs.
We printed these typographic wedding invitations for Emma & Eric last week, and had a lovely time designing for them. We love the color combinations and the contrasting modern and classic typefaces coming together for a simple, modern, & clean invitation. Incidentally, this design will be part of the Thomas-Printers Invitation line within the coming months! Thanks, Emma and Eric, and congratulations!
Just some edge painting eye-candy for you this Monday afternoon:
New York-based Craft Coffee asked us to print up some stationery for them, and we couldn’t be happier with the results. The design is reminiscent of an old postcard, and we love the little hand picking up the coffee bean. The bold red looks great against the paper. I think this might be one of those projects where it’ll be hard to actually part with the stationery. Thanks, Craft Coffee!
We printed up these business cards recently, and absolutely love the design. One side shows a world map printed in a series of tiny electric blue dots, and the other is a simple logo for the Argentinian company Solo Paquetes. There is a bright pop of neon green in the logo, which was carried over to the edge painting.
Speaking of Thomas-Printers Invitations line, here’s an example of what we can do! Phyllis and David chose the Cinematic design by Raven and Crow for their wedding. Printed in a sunny orange, the flowers on this invitation really pop, and offer a pretty contrast to the classic typography used for the text.

These invitations, designed by Truly Smitten’s Sarah Kim, printed up beautifully on press. The woodgrain, the couple’s initials in a little heart, plus the banner at the bottom all come together for a very sweet wedding invitation. We especially like the combination of the soft pink and grey ink choices. This suite is a perfect example of how just two colors can look really wonderful when letterpress printed.
