Wedding invitation digital plus letterpress - 'Off the rack' range

I designed these Letterpress invitations to be suitable for wedding, engagement, or save the date invitations even a special birthday! The product is an 'off the rack' item, meaning while it will be letterpress printed with your details, the image and style of text is left as standard to keep the costs down. There is no design or set up cost as it is template based.

The invitations are available as C6 (medium) or large 125x175mm (Large invitation size)

There are 4 different designs in the range. The digital top portion features
1. Australian eucalyptus leaves or gum leaves from a variety of Australian native flora.
2. Tropical palm leaves
3. Colorful peonies - a pretty peony bouquet
4. Elegant soft pink roses

You can purchase a Molly and Charlie SAMPLE over in our ETSY shop which allows you to see and feel the quality in real life. ROSE sample, GUM LEAF sample, PEONY sample, PALM sample.

Floral baby girl birth announcement

Beautiful sweet and elegant.  

I love how parents can describe their children and the style of a birth announcement can reflect their personality. How perfectly sweet is this one?!

Engagement invitations

Latest job.
Am really excited and pleased with the way they turned out!
A variation of the square doily save the date cards.
Printed 2 colour c6 size.
Custom text from polymer plates.
Printed on crane's lettra.
Envelopes plain white with doily pressed in blue into the corner.

The doily pattern was printed across the long edge of a5 and the cut in half to make c6, the text was then printed onto the individual c6 cards so 3 passes in total.

Things I learned...

1. Where the sweet spot is on my Pearl press.
2. Ink has an amazing colour variation depending on paper texture and colour - the blue of the small doily printed onto the envelope looks completely different to me - although husband did not think it was that different, it frustrated me slightly.
3. Printing text straight is difficult. I ended up re-cutting around 1/4 of the job to straighten the text up (ie cut around whole card so text was straight on page) this reduced the size of the invite only slightly and is much more effective than printing heaps more in an attempt to get them straight.

Space invaders birthday party invitation

Six (6) passes through the press for this one. (only the best for my boy!)
Printed on Somerset Waterford 100% cotton rag.
Fed through black lazer printer to print text.
lets call it 'Hybrid Letterpress' My b&w lazer printer is a very inexpensive model ($99 from Australia Post) so my thinking is that most people would be able to imprint onto these. I haven't tested on an ink jet yet.
Of course there is the option of hand writing onto these with a felt tip pen my handwriting is terrible so i didn't bother.
Registration was challenging. Perhaps I will consider this when designing anything again. Things in lines with polymer plates prove to be slightly more time consuming. Although 6 passes may have had something to do with it...
Ill definitely re-print these but use only 2 or 3 colours to make them more economical.
