Off the Cuff

We chose to showcase this save the date and menu from our awesome Pittsburgh store, Nota Bene, because both pieces were different takes on the same affair. The cufflink die-cut was etched out of our Silver Mirri paper and then added to both cards. The menu also features the Silver Mirri paper as a base layer. We love the masculinity of both of these pieces, especially paired with the abstract mirrored paper.

The last few moments of summer are begging us to drop everything and go on a bike ride. The Hot Card was tailor made to fit the Bar Mitzvah boy’s passion, mountain biking. This is the first time we have designed a mountain bike die-cut, but not the first time we have created a look representing a client’s passion and hobby. Enjoy the last few moments of summer (especially if you’re going to be shoveling snow soon)!
