Oh Charleston!

So I am trying to give anyone reading our blog - is anyone out there (we LOVE comments) a better snapshot into what we do everyday. August is a bit slower for us so I have actually had some time to breathe this past week. I have been spending way more time reading other blogs and trend-shopping then I should be, but I digress. I wanted to share some photos of a set we did for a delightful bride, Sara. I could tell Sara had an artistic side upon meeting her the first time. She has a great sense of style. At any rate, she is getting married in Charleston this fall and is using a rich palette and we had the task of coming up with a design just for her. What follows is our heavy ivory stock, printed with a matte metallic coppery/gold ink. The backer card is a deep purple (which is hard to see in the shot). This purple is just gorgeous. The envelopes are a metallic rich, champagne/gold color.

Before and After

We loved meeting everyone at the show! This is the first of the long awaited before and after shots of the new digs.

Pushing the Envelope & Naming the Blog


One of the things I love *most* about letterpress is the design work I can put on envelopes. So to follow, are some of the latest envelope designs. We have been tossing around lots of ideas for the naming of this blog - hoping to kick it up a notch as time allows. And, it got me to thinking that "pushing the envelope" is what paperwhites press is all about. I started this little company wanting to bring a touch of big city style to the south, so in essence we are "pushing the envelope" everyday.









See you at the show!

Hope to see some of you at the Wedding show next Sunday August 17th at the fairground from 12-5. We will be there with bells on or something like that. Seriously, we will have some pretty nifty new invitations that have come off the press lately! We always enjoy hearing about weddings, colors, themes and ideas that our brides have, so if you are there - stop by and say hi!
