These custom letterpress notecards are a recent project for the awesome team at The Hive Church, a new urban church plant in the North Charleston area. We printed their logo (designed by Dan Romanoski) onto 110-lb cotton paper. Half of the cards were printed in gray, and the other half were printed in mustard yellow.

While simple, they make a big impact, and we're pretty sure his customers will notice. ...

As summertime rolls into autumn, they began their new lives together under the brightness of the moonlight (so romantic!). Neutral colors and natural materials set the stage for the outdoor wedding. Printed on cotton paper, the assembled set was tied with hemp twine and tucked into a recycled kraft envelope. Text that looks as though it was hand-lettered su...
