We had a fabulous time at our debut at the National Stationery Show in New York last week. Thank you to everyone who stopped to visit and to our new retailers that we are so excited to be working with! And a great big thanks to the Ladies of Letterpress for being such inspiring artists and printers. It was the best to share the experience with you. We met so many great people and are excited to have our greeting cards in new stores!
Read moreSheila Strobel
While Sheila and I talked over tea, we realized there was important design history in her family to share on her business card and stationary. Sheila's father Tom Strobel is known for his op art of the 1960's and early '70's. We wanted to re-create this history in the design. As we were working, Sheila asked if she could have an exclamation mark in her name. We found an Alpa-Blox sort and a circle ornament, and made one. Hand set type leads to interesting solutions we wouldn't have thought of on our own. It's the best collaborator and I love it when a good conversation starts an adventure in the print studio.
Read moreIngrid and Michael
I commend Michael for not saying no to pink. These wedding invitations for Ingrid and Michael are some of the favorite invitations I have made. I love the bold choices and modern look, but printed in classic tradition using vintage hand set type and working with a 109 year old printing press.
Read moreMauri and Matt
Wedding invitations for Mauri and Matt made with vintage hand set type from our collection here at Bremelo Press. Hand set and printed by the bride and groom. When everything was set, printed and the envelopes lined, we put the invitation together with a beautiful ribbon. That's when Mauri said 'It's better than I imagined'. And that friends, is why I do what I do.
Read moreDawn and Jay
Dawn and Jay are two lovely and talented people. Their love of art and music is so much a part of their invitation. Jay wrote the text on the Outer Envelope and Dawn for the Attire Card, and they are beautiful poems. Having the opportunity to collaborate with people who make a great team is one of the best parts of my job. Watching two people be kind and gentle with each other are simple moments that mean the most.
Read moreJennifer and Nick
Jenny and Nick were great to work with. They had so much joy and excitement, it was contagious. Jenny showed me photos of the Arctic Room and her dress, and I knew their wedding was going to be something their guests would remember for the rest of their lives. Jenny and Nick gave the joy and love they had for each other to their guests, and it was fabulous.
Read moreViolet & Jane
Dawn Violet and I have worked on many projects together. She always brings new materials on which to print and new shapes to create. That is why I love this card for her. Here are curious ladies doing even curiouser things. She is always busy bringing Beauty to the world, especially when she thinks no one is looking.

Eve Cohen was deciding what she wanted to do next, so we made a card that will open doors. Life is a series of doors. Walk through and see what you can see.
