Raise a Pint or Two

Here's a fun engagement invitation we designed and printed a couple months back. Our favorite part (besides the fact that it's a beer) is the four-leaf clover monogram using the couples first initials.

I Love You As Much As...Card

You know when you're writing an email or some other kind of correspondence and you find yourself saying something like, "I'd loved to get a pumpkin latte" or "We'd love to watch your dog for the long weekend"? Isn't that a bit aggressive for the word love? Well, maybe in the distant past you're about to be living in because this letterpress card will clarify exactly what kind of level of love you got in mind. Find the card/print in our shop and love it to pieces.

Jingle Bells Got Nothing on Holiday Noise Cards.

Continuing our collection of Noise Cards, we added two new ones for the holidays. Out of all the jingling holiday sounds we landed on the Little Drummer Boy and the Nutcracker...though not sure if we've every heard a nutcracker actually crack a nut. Those weak, painted wooden jaws are all show.

All our holiday cards this year are packaged in one of three letterpress boxes (all the more reason to purchase three boxes). Each back has two Make Any Gift Better Tags printed on it. Basically, gift tags that down play the true treasure that waits beneath ribbon and wrapping paper.

These cards, along with all our other holiday cards can be found in our Etsy Shop.

Rate Your Beer Coaster Invitations

Our good friend Derek was turning 30. His wife decided to throw him a beer tasting surprise party. Well, we couldn't think of a better invitation than the Rate Your Beer Coasters. We customized the back of the coasters with all the details of the party, of course, including 30 beer bottles as a backdrop. 

The coasters (minus the invitation) will be in our shop if you're up for a round or two. 

Children's Museum of Denver Custom Print

Working with the Children's Museum of Denver, we created this custom print for their fundraiser campaign. The concept was to celebrate the idea of childhood discovery. We were inspired by the star-filled Colorado sky and remembered how fun it was as a kid (and still is) to look up at the billions of stars trying to connect the dots of our imaginary constellations. From a distance we wanted the print to look like a child pointing at the stars, but on a closer inspection you see the blind press of what the child is drawing.

Inspiration: Portland Gardens

So about a month ago we took some time off to explore the Pacific Northwest. One our favorite and most inspiring days came when we trekked over to Rose and Japanese Gardens in Portland, OR.

We had heard about the Rose Garden, but don't think we could really image the number of roses we'd discover there. Walked away with a year's supply of Stop and Smell the Roses quips.

Then we made the short walk up to the Japanese Gardens. We can honestly say this is one of the most beautiful and peaceful places we've ever been. Could have spent all day admiring the work of the gardeners. True artist.

It's Gonna Get Loud

We just finished up two more Noise Cards for the collection. We're taking another swing (pun most definitely intended) at a piñata card. Maybe it's because we secretly wish more things were filled with candy. The second one is our first I'm Sorry card and there's no better noise for sorry than the deep gruntle sound for a foghorn.

Expect more Noise Cards on the way, but until then these can be found in our Etsy Shop.
