Spark Destination Wedding Invite - Mallorca





Spark Mallorca

This is the first invitation set that will become part of the 2010 Spark Wedding Love Album. Here are the details:
  • Pocket Fold is letterpress-printed in tone on tone on our charcoal brown cover and features an aqua button with metallic string closure.
  • Invite Panel is printed on our 140# smooth white cover in aqua, charcoal brown and canary yellow inks.
  • Reply Card is printed on our aqua cover in aqua ink.
  • Weekend Events Card is printed on our canary cover in canary yellow and charcoal brown inks.
  • Mallorca Travel Card is a folded piece, printed both sides on a soft blue cover in aqua, charcoal brown and canary yellow inks. Some of the details on the travel card are green because we have printed aqua and canary yellow on top of each other - clever!
  • Outer Envelope (not shown) is a Spark envelope that will be available with the custom album. It is printed with a beautiful pattern on the face and flap to complete this suite.

Gone Country Wedding Invite



This invite is, quite simply, a labor of love. We created something completely different from our current style of invitations. In many ways, it was comical watching this invite come together because we haven't worked with fabrics for years. The end result, we hope you'll agree, is a fun representation of Spark letterpress.

This set is letterpress-printed on Crane lettra 110# cover in fluorescent white. Paper backers are french paper hot fudge cover and all panels have a sewn detail. This design can change easily by simply selecting a different fabric or thread.

Fall Fashion 2009 Colors


Consider using these colors boldly in your letterpress stationery. You can easily do this by adding a colorful envelope or a letterpress envelope liner to your stationery. For occasion stationery, wrap your invite in a colorful paper band, different from the ink colors you are pressing into the paper. We also have an array of ribbons by Midori Ribbons that can add a pop of color. If ribbon isn't your thing, maybe a sewn edge would be a nice, colorful detail?

Some papers we recommend that compliment the Fall 2009 colors are: French Paper PopTone (Grape Jelly, Tangy Orange), French Paper Construction (Factory Green, Safety Orange, Brick Red, Electric Red, Charcoal Brown, Nightshift Blue), Stardream Collection (Jupiter, Gold, Amethyst, Lapis Lazuli). We welcome other paper suggestions if you have them!

Please visit the Pantone website for the full Fall Fashion Colors 2009 report. >>
