Blake It 'Til You Make It
Our retailers often customize designs in such a beautifully ingenius way that it makes us stop and say, "Why didn't we think of that?!" For Blake's eye-popping Bar Mitzvah invitation, our friend Mickey at Sidelines in Rockville, MD applied a bold, masculine palette to #B534 in our Mitzvah V book, resulting in a true work of invitation art that belongs as much in a museum as it does a mailbox!

The Hot Card of the Week is from our dear friends The Paperia located in Ardmore, PA. This holiday card showcases the word “love” in an elegant script and die-cut from our Ruby Glitter paper to give the card added dimension.

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.

Gear Up!
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)!
