Most of our printing is custom: our clients love having personalized items with their name/monogram or other individual details included. And for an additional bespoke element, how about choosing your own paper to line envelopes? You can go for something simple in a single color or choose a really unique fine paper with a pattern or design.We love how the ink color used on this thank you card is picked up in the verdant lining paper used for the envelopes:

Every so often, we print stationery for ourselves. Whether it's a new set of Sesame Letterpress business cards or notecards with our name at the top, it's always a treat to experiment with some of the layouts and fonts that we regularly work with.Breck was in need of a new set of social stationery so she designed a really lovely, elegant layout:

These are printed in our saturated black ink, using Carolyna font. We love how these have a really strong look while also featuring a few little flourishes and embellishments. So simple and so perfect. Here's a close up of the printing:

Now that Spring is kinda, sorta on its way, we've designed a brand new set of notecards. Even if it's snowing outside the window of our studio, at least we can make it feel sunny and bright on our presses!We've designed a set of 20 cards, featuring four different designs, each in a pretty, pastel color.

The hot air balloon is in a dusty light blue, the chandelier is in a gorgeous pink, the giraffe is rich charcoal and the flower bouquet is printed in a beautiful sunflower yellow. Purchase a set here and bring some sunshine to anyone you send a note to!

Our customizable notecard designs are a really popular product; there's nothing nicer than having personal social stationery to send out thank you notes or quick greetings. We recently added a couple of new designs to the collection which focus on vintage styling.The first layout features the phrase "From the desk of..." and references 1950s stationery designs.

Here's a close up of the printing:

We also have a new design that includes both a name and home address. Once again, we've channeled a Mad Men-style concept with classic fonts and a subtle, yet elegant double underline:

We've added a gorgeous new design to our line of notecards. We decided to go for something bright and bold and just plain awesome.

We love how the thick type looks in this bright red and the chevron envelope lining just adds another pop of pattern.

One of my 2014 resolutions is to carve out time each month to step out of the studio and see more art.  New York City has so much to offer and it is wonderful to spend a day (or even a few hours) being inspired.In attempt to make up for lost time, a friend and I visited two museums last week - The Metropolitan Museum and the Frick Collection (also one of our favorite clients!).  It would be impossible to see every work in their galleries so we focused on the Northern European still-life paintings, a favorite subject of mine.  It was delightful and I went home inspired to add another couple cards to our "Painted Still-Life" series. The Swans would be particularly nice for Valentine's Day!

We often hear from clients that they would love to buy bespoke stationery for a friend or family member but the recipient is a little - shall we say - specific about the type of design they like.

Well, we like to play the role of problem solvers so we have designed and printed these beautiful luxury gift certificates that will solve the present-giving dilemma for even the most picky of your loved ones.

That's right; we'll fill in the details and beautifully wrap the card with twine and our pretty 'writer' gift tag.

And voila, you're all set for another holiday season!

You can purchase a set value gift certificate directly from our online shop ($150 covers the cost of a gorgeous set of 50 bespoke notecards and matching blank envelopes). If you would like to buy a gift certificate for a custom amount, please get in touch!

We recently discovered a gorgeous new font. You may recognize it from the recent blog post about my bike-themed wedding invitations. It's proven really popular with lots of our wedding clients so we designed a simple, striking new personalized notecard which features the font.

We love how the font mimics handwriting but is also contemporary and refined. We think it looks great in a vivid hue, like this bright turquoise.
