New Addition Coming Soon to French Press

2011-10-11T09:36:00.000-04:00

35 weeks and counting! I'm so excited to meet the little one and have finally come to the realization that I have to start slowing down around the shop. As a first time mom I wasn't sure what to expect and thus far I've been very fortunate to have a very easy pregnancy and maintain a fairly active work schedule. Now, however, I'm starting to feel the need to slow and really enjoy the last few weeks of being pregnant. I will be out for the next few months, but Jodi will be taking over the helm with printing and meetings (she's amazing!)

I'd also love to hear from you other letterpress mamas out there! How was your experience and when did you go back to work? I'd love any advice!

Few More Wedding Invites for 2011

2011-09-14T07:53:00.004-04:00

Our season is coming to a slow end...but we're always happy to entertain the Fall brides (which I'm partial to as my wedding was in October!) This invitation suite picked from our Signature Collection was for a great couple, Erin and Jerry, who were getting married in upstate NY this fall. The suite was letterpressed in a yummy, royal-esque deep violet on a soft white pearl paper and coupled with the lovely styling of our talented 'secret' calligrapher on the envelopes. A simple, yet elegant touch for a wedding that will be spectacular!

Letterpress Work in Progress

2011-08-19T09:16:00.000-04:00

Quick post today. We leave for vacation in a week and working to get some loose ends wrapped up. Here are some lovely invitations designed and printed in-house and French Press. We especially love the how the border came out on press. Sometimes we forget how satisfying our work can be.

Vintage Key Inspired Invitation Suite

2011-08-11T09:22:00.000-04:00

Ever go to a garage sale, flea market or antique sale and find yourself drawn to those 18th century ornate, skeleton keys? Me too! So when cute-as-can-be Gretchen came to me with the broad concept of vintage keys...I was thrilled! Working in the direction of classic romance, this invitation suite was so much fun to design. Spending hours doing research on vintage clothing, objects, and decor just doesn't seem like work!! I had also discovered Gretchen's love of peacock feathers, so it only seemed natural to include that in the liner! The end result was a letterpressed suite using double thick, Reich Savoy #236 cotton paper in Natural White for the invite and matching #118 cover for the remaining pieces. To boot, Andrew and Gretchen are a great pair--which makes my job easy-pleasey!

2011-08-03T09:17:00.000-04:00

Crummy weather today but the presses keep rolling! I think its much easier to work when its raining than when it's a perfect 82 and sunny! So, thank you rain for making me stay on deadline.

Enjoy!

French Press is an Envelopments® Dealer

2011-08-02T10:09:00.000-04:00

We are proud to offer our clients the full range of products from Envelopments: an entire system of more than 230 cardstocks, papers, liners and envelopes and more than 90 shapes and sizes with signature names like Envelofolds®, Portable Pockets®, Pocket Folds® and more. They offer innovative designs you can tailor to fit your needs. We have used them a lot this season and look forward to offering our clients the latest from their 2011-2012 line of products. Oh, and they've been featured in Martha Stewart Weddings and The Knot!

Here are just some examples of work that can be done with their offerings:

Custom Letterpress Coasters & Business Cards

2011-07-26T11:19:00.000-04:00

Who doesn't love really thick paper?? Both of these jobs were custom designed for the client by French Press and printed using the most luxurious 2-ply paper Crane makes for letterpress: Lettra! The coasters are for a Rehearsal Dinner in Boston, MA--so the idea was to play up the cocktail side of the evening by using a coaster and also tipping our hats to Boston Harbor (the location of the event) by using a vintage map of Boston!! We created the custom duplex sheet using the map of Boston on one side and then letterpressed the event information on the reverse side. The calling cards were printed 1/0 in the same dark blue and on the same paper. Both pieces were corner-rounded for that extra special look and feel!

Make a Statement With Your Stationery

2011-07-22T10:28:00.000-04:00

Our peak wedding season is coming to a close and I wanted to share some non-letterpress work that turns heads. We have found that offering our designs in both thermography (raised) and offset (flat) printing allow for budget-conscious folks to still have well designed, beautiful stationery. We also had a unique bi-lingual invitation that merged Cyrillic and English (very cool!) We came up with the idea of a 2 panel invitation that would be lifted to reveal the English translation of the Cyrillic front. The entire invite was housed in a "take notice" 7x7" pocket fold from Envelopements! (we're now an authorized Envelopements dealer!!)

We also had the chance to design some personal stationery for a bride who wanted a funky palette of orange and grey! We found the perfect lining paper from the amazing offerings of French Paper! The addition of an envelope liner or a pocket fold makes a huge impact on the person receiving the piece. I would advise if you do not have the budget to go with letterpress, see if you can find a few extra pennies to line the envelopes or find a unique way to house the invitation. You get a wonderful first impression that sets the tone for the interior pieces.

Recent Work from French Press

2011-07-19T10:45:00.000-04:00

We occasionally get a unique opportunity to design and print corporate invitations, and our recent job for North American Breweries (Labatts, Magic Hat, etc.) was a ton of fun! With a tight deadline looming, we managed to design and print these prestigious invitations and package them with a punch in half the time! Printed 2/0 on Stardream metallic paper, backed on a bronze metallic sheet--then mounted in a 6x9 pocket fold.

Another rare opportunity came to our shop a few months ago. A local couple requested a bi-lingual invitation using both English and Cyrillic!! Having never worked with Cyrillic, I was more than excited to take on the challenge. We proposed a 2-page invitation that would be housed in a yummy red square pocket fold. The design would remain consistent on both invites, with the main deliniation being the language. The invite was well received and the happy couple is set to wed this September on a gorgeous piece of property in Upstate New York!

Block Club Magazine Cover

2011-07-12T08:30:00.000-04:00

The conversation went something like "Would you be interested in designing the cover for our next issue?" Response: "OH YA!!" We had to wonderful privilege to design and print the cover image for the most recent issue of BLOCK CLUB With the theme Food & Drink, we turned to some vintage imagery of plates, glasses and vegetables. Printed 2/0 on our trusty Vandercook, this was a great inspiration to continue with larger format work after this wedding season starts to fade. Oh, and yes--I wear gloves sometimes when I print. Fingerprints were not part of the design :9

Letterpress Work in Progress

2011-06-28T16:39:00.000-04:00

It's the height of our wedding season and we have been knee-deep in paper, ink and mess. These are a few snaps from work-in-progress. Once the waters settle down (and the studio gets cleaned!), we will post some sexy final invitation shots. Until then...enjoy.

Envelope Liners: A Perfect Finishing Touch

2011-06-24T09:29:00.000-04:00

Lining an envelope creates such a nice, polished look for an invitation. We always advise clients who are looking for that extra 'something' to line the envelopes. It's a relatively inexpensive and creative way to add a pop of color or pattern and can be as wild or conservative as you wish. Here are a few of the invitations we've done using liners that we just love. We're big fans of PaperMojo (www.papermojo.com) and often have clients wade through their endless selection in order to make them a part of the design experience. Why not use them for your next project?

Awesome Custom Boxed Invitation

2011-06-22T11:20:00.000-04:00

Paper can make a wonderful first impression and when Pam came to the studio armed with a designers' eye and flair for paper I was thrilled to create this invitation experience for her upcoming lakeside Adirondack wedding! The ceremony & reception will be held at the gorgeous Lake Placid Lodge in upstate New York--a luxurious resort and hotel. After gawking at the amazing photos online we developed the concept of a story-line invite that took the form of a horizontal, z-fold invite. The imagery, materials and color palette is based on location of the event and the personalities of both Pam and Craig. The invitation and secondary card were letterpressed in a dark brown and contained by a jute, basket-weaved band. These were then housed in a custom, hand-lined box using marbled momi paper from PaperMojo (paper candy store!). We're so excited to print some additional pieces next week. Stay tuned

Rustic Adirondack Invites: I ❤ New York ♥

2011-06-09T10:58:00.000-04:00

We've been fortunate to have some pretty amazing clients this season. The most recent couple are NYers who spend 1/2 their time abroad in New Zealand. Pretty amazing. Given their adventurous spirit they landed on the gorgeous landscape of the Adirondacks for their ceremony. The week is packed with activities ranging from canoeing to climbing...and oh, ya...and their wedding :)

The custom designed 2-color letterpressed invitation was printed on 2-ply cotton paper and paired with a vintage postcard (reverse is mad-lib inspired RSVP) and a map/activities brochure. These were all housed in a 100% recycled (and custom made) folio with a band to secure the secondary pieces. The entire package was bound with jute string. Phew!

Sneak Peeks :: Work in Progress

2011-06-06T12:17:00.000-04:00

The press wheels have been turning, ink has been mixing and UPS comes daily with new paper and envelope orders! Wedding season is in full bloom! Needless to say time has not been abundant...but we wanted to get a few images up to show you the work in progress. Both of these invitations were custom designed to suit the ceremony or tone of the wedding (Country Club and Adirondack Lakeside). The first has a glitzy-glam with an edge of elegance (press proof shown) and the second has a much more organic, natural feel. Each letterpress printed using 2-colors on our Vandercook. Enjoy!

4 Color Foil-tastic Invitation

2011-05-31T11:21:00.000-04:00

We print work from outside clients quite often. It is somewhat rare that we get to 'play' with foil stamping, but this is just one of those rare occasions! Designed and hand-rendered by the client, this 4-COLOR foil invitation and 3-color RSVP card are a great example of the how far you can push the art of foil. For those who are not aware, foil stamping is where a pigment or foil (commonly gold, silver or white) is pressed into paper using a heated die. The result is a solid, opaque color that pops on dark colors *as shown above*

Calligraphy is the Perfect Finishing Touch

2011-05-24T09:03:00.000-04:00

We're so lucky to have such a talented team of people to work with. In the height of wedding season I wanted to highlight our calligrapher--a wonderfully talented woman who can take on any challenge. Here are some recent envelopes and invitation work which showcases her amazing lettering ability. I envy her steady hands and straight lines!! It's not easy. These invitations were printed using thermography, 1/0 in a gorgeous dark blue with matching Stardream Lapis Lazuli band, RSVP envelope and liner.

Elegant Maine Letterpress Wedding Invitations

2011-05-16T08:54:00.000-04:00

Maine is a wonderful place to exchange vows! As a East Coaster and a New Englander at heart it inspires me to spend hours looking at photos and remembering past vacations for my cousin's upcoming wedding in The Pine Tree State! The rustic homes and vast landscape make me long for oysters in my mouth, sand in my feet, and salt in the air. Needless to say this invitation was a ton of fun to design and print! The details: designed and letterpressed in the studio on our Vandercook and C&P and lined with a gorgeous Caspari paper. We also did the Save the Date.

Business Cards : The Bascetta Group

2011-05-10T11:32:00.000-04:00

We print outside work (designed by someone else) quite often. These business cards for The Bascetta Group (designed by the talented Rob Price) showcase how wonderful a thin, sans serif typeface looks letterpressed! Printed 1/0 black on #130 French Muscletone...these heafty cards will impress anyone. If you're interested, contact us today for a quote: info@frenchpressonline.com

Graduation Season is Here!

2011-05-02T10:05:00.000-04:00

I always get so excited for graduating students around early May, especially because I teach a few Design courses at a local college. This most recent graduation announcement was done for a friend who is so proud of her smarty pants son from Gannon University. Using the seal from the University, we created this cute little announcement to let family and friends know of the his latest accomplishment. Way to go Cory!! Letterpress printed using 2 colors (the University's colors) on Luxe 300gsm paper.

Letterpress Stationery Turns Heads

2011-04-29T16:10:00.000-04:00

Who doesn't love mail? (non-bills, of course!) It's amazing to me that writing letters (or notes) has lost out to the banal nature of texting and facebook. I'm a big fan of pen to paper and always love it when I find other paper lovers. This recent stationery job is no exception. Wonderful, yummy Strathmore paper paired with a simple design makes the perfect impression when the recipient opens up a note. We hope you consider writing a friend or family member. Think of how happy they will be to know you invested the time to write a message on a beautiful piece of stationery---instead of sending greetings via text!

Letterpress Calla Lily Invitation

2011-04-27T13:23:00.000-04:00

Who doesn't love calla lilies? They are a favorite flowers of mine and Jodi did a great job incorporating them into this invitation suite. Letterpress printed 2-colors on Luxe heavy-weight paper, these invitations look and feel like summer (and our weather is finally cooperating!) Paired with a strawberry invitation envelope and chartreuse RSVP envelope--these are sure to make anyone want to join in the festivities.

Busy, busy bees

2011-04-21T08:44:00.000-04:00

Jodi and I have been consumed with wedding and graduation work the past few weeks and I'm finally getting a chance to show and tell! (no complaints!)

The first invitation was printed using both white foil and offset (flat) printing. The package was quite involved with a total of 4 tiered cards plus the invitation--all housed in a gorgeous dark purple pocket fold. The outside of the pocket is closed by a washi linen paper and topped with a double paneled name tag. Phew--this invitation is sure to create a buzz!! The second invite, designed and letterpress printed by Jodi, puts to use her excellent illustration skills. Created around the theme of 'cala lilies' these gorgeous 2 color letterpress invitations pair a springy fuchsia with a fresh lime green (printed later this week). Stay tuned for the entire package--posted at the end of this week.

Letterpress Workshop Photos

2011-04-13T15:06:00.000-04:00

I'm always excited to meet new folks, but familiar faces are always good too! I was happy to have 2 friends join in and watch their creative skills come to life! This past weekend we had our first workshop in our new space--and it was a hit! Our printing studio is now separate from our 'working/meeting' studio so the number of students we can have is limited to 4. This turned out to be GREAT! With less students, this allowed for more 1-on-1 attention and the results were really impressive! Here are some photos, taken by Sara Otto (thanks Sara!). Check out our website for more Introduction classes as well as Business Card and Private Sessions!! Enjoy!!

Yosemite Wedding Invitations!

2011-03-23T10:51:00.000-04:00

We always love to be a part of someone's 'big day' but when the event takes place in Yosemite National Park--it just makes my job even better! This wonderful couple is saying their 'i do's' at the Ahwahnee Hotel which is filled with a mixture of decors from Native American to Arts & Crafts. Our focus was on the Arts & Crafts--as it suited the reception site perfectly! We also found another excuse to use these great typefaces from our local type house: P22! These pieces were printed using thermography on Crane Lettra #110c in Ecru and mounted in a yellowish green pocket fold.

Save the Date--first color down!

2011-03-01T09:56:00.000-05:00

I'm so excited that my 'little' cousin is getting married this summer and thrilled that she's letting me do her Save the Dates and Invitations!! Based on the location (MAINE!) and the color of her bridesmaids dresses (emerald green, Jenny Yoo) I designed this piece to mimic both the look and feel of the upcoming ceremony. The photos above reflect the first color (PMS 354 green) which will be paired with a slate gray (PMS 433). I'll post the finished piece in a few days.

New Invites with Grace and Elegance

2011-02-28T09:23:00.000-05:00

We are so excited for guests to get this invitation! It perfectly suits the bride & groom to-be and sets the perfect tone for the ceremony and festivities that are planned for the night. As part of our Signature Collection, this invitation meets the needs of every bride searching for grace and elegance--but still seems to capture whimsy with the large script type at the top of each piece. Our Signature line can be found on our website: www.frenchpressonline.com

Classic Save the Dates

2011-02-25T08:17:00.000-05:00

Sometimes I really love my job--especially when I get to play with new typefaces!! These Save the Dates are a wonderfully simple and type-centric (awesome)...yet evoke the classic feel of this upcoming wedding. We start the invitations next week and I'm super excited!! Printed 1/0 in a dark PMS on yummy #110 Lettra.

Wedding Work, Feb. 2011

2011-02-23T10:57:00.000-05:00

We are always excited to help brides get the invitation they love. Offering both offset (flat) and thermography (raised) printing allows us to please even the most budget-conscious brides! The above invitation was first printed as a letterpress suite, but now is anew in both color and printing technique. We also love the pairing of the Snow & Graham liner. Very fun!

We're Going to the Fair!!

2011-02-22T12:51:00.000-05:00

We're excited to be a part of the 5th annual Small Press Book Fair in Buffalo!! This is one of the best shows in Buffalo and beckons people from Toronto to Syracuse. As a vendor we love the paper-positive folks that support us. As a promoter of Buffalo, we love how much this show reminds everyone we are a great town! It's only 1 day, so take an hour to come by and say hi and see some wickedly cool goodies. Some photos from past years (thanks Flickr page)

Fun Couple--Fun Wedding Invites

2011-02-17T10:52:00.000-05:00

I have such a great job and I'm really lucky to cross paths with some amazing folks. Molly and Adam are just 2 of the many. They were introduced to me by Rob Lynch (see older post about his business cards!). They were taking a painting course from him at Buffalo Arts Studio and wanted to have their love of Van Gogh translated to their invitations--with a modern twist! Printed offset on a gorgeous bright white cover stock--we're very excited about the final package!!

New Letterpress Wedding Invitations

2011-02-16T12:50:00.000-05:00

Our season started so quickly we've been neglecting our blog! Here is one of our most recent invitations, which was letterpress printed 1-color (gold) on a yummy felt paper!

More Business Cards

2011-01-28T10:02:00.000-05:00

We've been keeping busy with business card printing lately. Here's our most recent 2-color job done for a super talented designer in Rochester! Printed using 2 PMS colors on Crane Lettra #110 in Pearl White. These cards were created in anticipation of a website launch, which is coming in 2011!

Fancy & New: Thank you notes that are sure to impress

2011-01-26T14:10:00.000-05:00

We're so excited to show off our recently purchased typeface from VEER! Even more exciting are the sexy open type feature that come with the face! Kristen and Brian's stationery felt the love!! Printed thermographically in a yummy midnight blue on Crane Lettra paper. I'm very excited to use this on many future invitations! Stay tuned.

It's Business Time!

2011-01-14T10:32:00.000-05:00

Jodi has been lurking in the shadows--but I finally got some great photos of her! She DOES exist!! She's my go-to girl for everything and I really could not do all this without this amazing lady! Woop!

Our wedding season started early, but we managed to squeeze in a few business cards. Our most recent client, Advanced Wealth Management Group is a fresh local start-up wealth management company that has a well-qualified leader at the helm: Brian Laible! We're so happy to be a part of his growth!
