A 90th birthday celebration calls for an extra special invitation, don’t you think? We worked with Papyrus to create these stunning silver foil stamped invitations and save the dates for Nan’s 90th. The cards featured our Avella design and were printed on our white, 2-ply bamboo paper, then die-cut using our Plymouth shape. Metallic silver edge painted added an extra touch of glamour to these milestone invitations.

Sara and Richard created a jaw-dropping customization of our Fitzroy invitation design for their December wedding in Palos Verdes. The couple worked with Melody at Urbanic to customize the design, which included a full flood of digitally printed black ink and bits of our anemone vintage print pattern. After we digitally printed the invitations and insert cards, we added tawny matte foil stamping in our Plaza calligraphy font. The vintage anemone print pattern was included on the envelope liners as well, tying the entire set together. Pretty gorgeous, huh?
