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).

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.

Other Calligraphers I also love that would do a fabulous name for your calling card:
Lisa Ridgely (Pen & Ink) | Emilie Friday | K is for Calligraphy

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!

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!

Sold as a set of 50 (you can get more if you’d like), they are letterpress printed 1 color on 110#/300 GSM paper and packed in a sturdy ClearBox for safe keeping in your purse, pocket or bag.

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!
