Wedding Extravaganza!


So thrilled to be working with Kathie Millen at Elite Weddings. We had some left over programs and misc. items from the 20th anniversary Austin Wedding Guide Ball, so we made a dress out of paper as the wow factor for our booth, it was quite a hit! We had a great time as an exhibitor at the September show and were thrilled to see our booth ended up on their site. Thanks so much for the props! http://www.austinweddingplanners.com/

Meredith


What a delightful and bubbly bride! For Meredith's invitation, we had some quite extraordinary printing. We weren't able to find the right shade of slate grey for the paper. So what we did was start with a white stock, had the perfect pantone color offset print, minus the flourish designs on the side in order for the pearling to show through as a light color. We then had the flourishes printed in pearling for a beautiful effect. Using a second stock, Crane of course, deckled the side edges, letterpressed the slate grey ink and used a pink foil to finish the piece. If you know anything about printing, this piece required a seasoned expert! And of course, a Lucie's Event production.

Erin Jones


Unique from the word go! Erin's exquisite taste's lead to this particular program. Letterpress on Crane's paper stock, gold foiling as a secondary print just added to a beautiful finished piece.

The beautiful event produced by Clink! http://www.dianamlottphotography.com/

Photo Shoot




A friend of mine getting married wanted some shots of herself to give her husband. With photography in my background I was more than happy to light up the studio and accommodate! A fun afternoon between girls!

Out of the Box!

What a fun way to share your favorite restaurants food! For this rehearsal dinner invitation, we used adorable mini pails filled with popcorn from the restaurant that the rehearsal was held at! Moonshine is famous for serving spicy popcorn instead of chips and salsa as you await your dinner. We used the coasters from Moonshine and printed the invitation on the other side and attached them to the handle of the pail. Inside on the front, we used a picture of the place when it first opened many moons ago. For an additional pop of color, lime green tissue paper atop and below the popcorn. What a fun invite and gift at the same time!

"I can not say enough about KK! As a graphic designer myself, I was extremely impressed by her creativity, style, and ability to take my vision and make it a reality on paper. I was also thrilled by her ability to show me an array of possibilities, all of which were unique and sophisticated. I can tell you with absolute honesty that hiring KK to design my stationary was the best choice I made during my wedding planning. She has been the most responsive, trustworthy, flexible, and genuine vendor I have worked with through the process!" - Erin E.

laura hooper

What an amazing calligrapher! Laura's works are seen in those, 'see where it needs to be seen' places. She has such a talent that is really quite an art form. Beyond the creative side, Laura has a business side that is a force to be noticed. With such exquisite penmanship, it's no wonder her works are recommended among to top editors and ateliers in the business! We were thrilled to design her business cards. We used my favorite 268# Crane stock for sturdiness, and of course letterpress front and back. On the front for an added element of texture, we used the orchid pattern printed on the back, and debossed it on the front for some continuity.
