    Posted in: Business, eCommerce, Holiday

    If you missed it on twitter this last weekend, we launched a re-design to our online shop! The BEST part is that we have new functionality where you can order custom products online – calling cards, wedding suites and letterpress ready-made goods!

    I’m also excited to announce that we are participating in a new post-thanksgiving promotion with a slew of other letterpress printers – it is not Cyber Mnday, but instead Letterpress Tuesday. ENJOY 25% OFF EVERYTHING IN THE SHOP (including custom goods) for 24 hours only, tomorrow TUESDAY 11/29/11. When checking out use code DINGBAT25. Happy Thanksgiving!

    Calligraphy Calling Card : updated

    Posted in: business cards, Calligraphy, Calling Cards


    These letterpress calligraphy calling cards were done for Krista and we just love how the cobalt ink looked on the hot pink background when photographed. We are excited to announce dropped pricing (more for your buck) for the calligraphy calling card as well as extended options. We’ve also streamlined the process so now, instead of two separate transactions (calling cards and calligraphy), we’ve lumped that together and will do all the work for you. Check out the new calligraphy calling cards in the shop now!

    Calligraphy credits go to Kathryn of DellaCarta (option 2),
    Lisa Ridgely of Pen & Ink (option 3), and Emilie Friday (option 5).

    FaireHoure Re-purp. Clocks

    Posted in: Takem

    Check out these AWESOME re-purposed clocks made from old china and plates by FaireHoure. All the clocks are one of a kind and great for those looking to start a clock fetish! I’ve never been one to hang dishes on my walls, however these clocks might change my mind. Ranging from $17 – $60 these would be a great house warming, bridal-shower, or holiday gift at a great price! Enjoy.

    Combo Boxed Notes

    Posted in: Boxed Notes

    When I first started printing letterpress notes I offered them in combo sets. I couldn’t unload them at all, people kept requesting them in single pattern sets. They sold off eventually as split orders. It seems the tides have changed yet again and now I’m getting more and more requests for combo sets these days. So without further adeu, I introduce the combo set from the Entomologie line.

    They are still available as single boxed sets too, but just thought I’d offer the option again. Enjoy~

    Final Piece: Open Air

    Posted in: business cards

    I just got some new background paper and couldn’t wait to get these photographed. It took awhile to find the right color for the cards to give it the Dingbat pop of brights! As you can see here, I LOVE designing and printing business cards. There’s something so fulfilling about conveying a person’s needs on a little 2×3.5 card that says Why yes, I eat chocolate in bed! or how about Under my starched shirts are yellow polka-dotted boxers ;) or even I breathe minimalism, so should my card. To every (wo)man, his own I say!

    Open Air Photography, Letterpress Business CardsKatie’s Cards reflect just that: Open Air Photography in her case. Fresh, whimsical and open – these cards were fabulous to print (think 600 GSM SUPER THICK Lettra) and Katie was a doll to work with. You can see her initial proofs here, visit her website here, and follow her on Twitter.

    Thanks for the opportunity to do your cards, I only wished we lived relatively close, I’d have you photograph my kids in a heartbeat!

    So I haven’t given any Etsy love recently, but I came upon Bella Fresca because she had hearted my own shop. SO glad I checked it out. Boy was I surprised when upon clicking through I immediately felt like I was transported to the tropics. Look at her fabulous soaps and then drop her a note wishing her luck as she just opened in June. Breathtaking, I can practically smell them through my monitor! BellaFresca Soaps

    Real Bride: Kirstin Final

    Posted in: Custom, Wedding

    Northenscold 1

    Near the final rounds, this design came about because the bride was having a ceremony canopy made out of trees, and evidently birch trees were either part of the landscaping or just one of her favorites exact details are slipping my mind right now. The blind impression turned out so cool on this invite as the shadowing gave a really great letterpressed element to the trees. This design started out quite ornate and then got simpler as we worked on it more. By the time it printed I just couldn’t believe my eyes! There’s so much mystery in it that I love, thanks Kirstin for such a great letterpress project to work on, this is one of my favorites to date.

    To read all about Kirstin’s invitation process and see some of the proofs designed click here.

    Real Business: Enchanted

    Posted in: business cards

    You are going to love these! Here are some proofs for another set of business cards I did recently for a new Etsy store Enchanted. The client provided the Enchanted logo and her banner/avatar which you can see in her shop as a starting point for inspiration. We explored some simple designs with a dingbat added in as well as incorporating elements from the “E” initial cap. There were some color alternates provided with the final design she chose, but you’ll just have to wait to see the final printed piece until another time to be truly enchanted!
