We love the creativity of this invitation suite. Our lovely friends at Paper Becomes You in Bethesda, Maryland chose this invitation from our Bar/Bat Volume V album, but wanted to customize the design. They incorporated a musical liner and patterned party card to celebrate the girl’s love of music. Add a geometric die-cut and patterned thank-you note and you get this playful, personalized Bat Mitzvah set.

All that Glitters
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)!
