Beyond Novel + the cutter and guilded edges

A while back my pal Lindsey asked me to help her brand her business, Beyond Novel. I was more than excited to help -- we developed the logo, defined the color pallet, created graphic elements for her website, and then finished everything off with note cards for correspondence.

Lindsey isn't new to letterpress, so she suggested the blind emboss and the gilded edges. I'd never gilded anything before ... but a learned right quick! With the new cutter it was a breeze -- and they are divine.

I'm still in California and have a lot to share, bare with me -- images and recaps coming soon!

So Manly

Finally, some less girlie, more manly stationery. Now, if only men looked at this here web-log ....

I wish I could say these are available in the shop right now, but no. I went on a photo frenzy last week and I have weed through everything -- edit it, post it, blah blah blah. Soon I tell you, soon.

C'est si Bon | Frink Calling Cards

Bonjour. Ça va? Ah, Ça va bien!

I recently designed and printed these calling cards for a friend of a friend. Friend, can your friend be my friend? Oh Paris, I found you completely overwhelming (mainly because my brain was overloaded with pretty things), but I'd love to visit you again.
