    So you all know my love for Lisa Ridgely’s calligraphy. I don’t know what it is about her style, except that it really is SO unique. I’m always peeking over at her blog and recently she’s opened a shop on Big Cartel with a staggering collection of downloadable calligraphy content for personal use. As you may have seen my calligraphy calling cards before, I’m trying to expand the product to different calligraphy styles so you can order what suits your fancy. Lisa was kind enough to do my Mom’s name for me so I could give these to her on Mother’s Day. They turned out so awesome though, that in the end I couldn’t wait – SO Mom got them early! If you’ll notice on her card she has a new email – here at Dingbat Press!

    These letterpress calling cards were done as a giveaway over at The Bright Side Project awhile ago and I had the pleasure of working on the cards with fabulous calligrapher eDanae. As I’ve worked with more calligraphers, it’s a pleasure to see their styles. I thought at one point that all calligraphy looked the same. I have been proven wrong – like a good typeface, a calligrapher’s hand is quite unique and no two people have the same work. I love seeing how calligraphers can put their name to something, it’s such an amazing process to me!

    Below, another letterpress calligraphy calling card done for Laura. I liked how Kathryn embellished Laura’s last name with some leafs, really fitting! I can hardly stand it, my vacation is coming to an end so no more warm weather for at least another month. However, I’m ready to get back to work it’s been a wonderful break!

    Another set of letterpress Calligraphy Calling cards out the door, these were for an interior designer. Gravel seems to be the big ink color on a lot of these orders, but on occasion people venture out of the ordinary (stay tuned).

    Susan Leahy Callign Cards

    Kathryn always does such a fabulous job with the calligraphy on these, however if you are looking for an alternated style, I have a few other calligraphers that I can recommend too!

    These letterpress calling cards were printed a few months back for Joy, but I wanted to print an option in blossom to see if there would be value issues with the lighter pink ink and the small type. I haven’t printed with light pink too much so it was a fun experiment to work on and I look forward to offering it to you from here on out!

    Get yourself a set of 50 letterpressed calling cards by Dingbat Press.

    Here are the final printed business cards for Michelle Cottrell. As stated in the design brief and proofs, Michelle wanted something classic, elegant and professional. We ended up combining two of the initial designs to create the final business card. A touch of calligraphy and a non-offensive script (who can’t resist Bickham Pro with all the fabulous ligatures), these cards were letterpress printed on 110# Lettra paper in 2 colors of ink: Latte/Brown. I’ve been noticing a lot of trending toward those colors lately. Cut as a 2.5×2.5″ Square with 1/4″ rounded corners, they turned out quite fancy I think!

    Letterpress Business Cards

    If you’d like some business or contact cards of your own, I generally do all orders custom and would love to work with you! Right now I’m taking about six custom business card jobs a month on top of other work, so get your estimate request/order in quick for same-month processing.

    These letterpress calling cards shipped out this week to Joy and are a great way to get some simple contact cards in a small print run. Kathryn of Della Carta Calligraphy penns your name in calligraphy and then gives you the digital high-res file. Kathryn penned my name awhile back and I’ve already blazed through my first set of 50!

    So I have this internet friend. Lisa, from Pen & Ink Calligraphy. Also of the Pen & Ink Journal.

    Forever ago she ordered some of my Poppy Mini Enclosures and Aster place cards to do some calligraphy samples on, and since then I’ve enjoyed seeing what she can do with my goods. I SO wish I had the talent for a beautiful penned hand, but alas I don’t so I just send her bags of goodies to write on instead!

    As I was checking her blog I realized it has been a little while because there was a new look and feel to it:

    If you click on her image above you’ll be directed to her blog where yes she WRITES her own blog posts. The first thing I thought was “dang. that is one awesome looking handwritten font.” then I thought, “wait, web fonts don’t do that” followed by third “marketing genius” for a calligrapher. What a fabulous way to showcase and practice her work. This is such a different approach and so soft on the eyes vs. reading all the billions of serifed letters.

    Way to make it your own Lisa! Go check it out, you might want to do it for yourself it’s just so great!
