Bella Figura Calligrapher – New Designs Launch!

December 22, 2011

Today I am finally allowed to announce something that has been in the making since….April!  You are now looking at one of the newest calligraphers and designers for Bella Figura.  Two of my original designs for the new year are up and can be found here and here.

If you are not familiar with Bella Figura, they are a luxury letterpress and stationery company based out of Syracuse, New York who has a love for letterpress and a nice deep impression with punches of color and pushing the limits in options and combinations to their clients.

Without further delay I am proud to announce:

Mitty

and a collaboration with Kyle Laatsch – Modern World

Each is customizable in ink color, edge painting, liner color and pattern, corner rounding and paper color.  Bella Figura is also launching their new foil offering… I would love to see someone do my lettering with foil! (check out my fav – glamourous blooms!)

And thank you to Style Me Pretty for a lovely announcement on the launch of the new collection!

Dallas Calligrapher – Personal Stationery

December 20, 2011

I am thrilled to share that my little sister graduated this past weekend with her Masters of Architecture.  Yay Brittany!  It has been a long 5.5 years in Lubbock and I am so ready for her to move a little closer to home 🙂

As a soon to be graduate we decided earlier this year that it was time to get her self branding in place for all the networking and resumes she would be sending out and thank you notes she would be writing after interviews.  Since she has been signing her work as b.young, we decided to use that as her own personal logo.  And since she is an Architect, we also wanted to keep the lettering on the crisp and clean side rather than uber flowy and pretty… but still reflect her aesthetics.

For both her calling cards and her personal stationery, I duplexed the sheets for added weight and color in a very masculine navy and light grey color combo.  They were then letterpressed using the grey and navy colors.  The look turned out to be clean and not over worked – very matter of fact.

Congratulations Brittany on your graduation and very memorable personal stationery.  I know it will bring you tons of success while hunting for your first job!

Santa Barbara Calligrapher – Peony and Cupcake 50th Birthday

December 15, 2011

It is cold and rainy here (which I love personally), but I was thinking about my spring events coming up and thought I would finally sit down and share this wonderful event with you!  It was such a joy to work with Heidi of Zenadia Design on the calligraphy for the envelopes, menu, place cards, table numbers, and event signs for this beautiful San Ysidro Ranch Birthday party!  Everything was letter pressed and had a pink peony theme.  I addressed the invitations on an angle in the Talia script and a darker pink ink.  The result was stunning.

Kacie Jean Photography provided the rest of the images from the event.  I could not be more thankful for receiving them!

This is the gorgeous centerpieces (and table numbers) as well as a shot of the room during dinner.  Love it!

Here you can see the menu and wine menu sign – lovely in pink!

My favorite part of the whole evening was the cupcake and candy table.  All pink themed with a ton of different cupcake flavors (I think there were 7!).  I Also loved the peony candy tags for a pop of white in all that pink.  And isn’t the hearth gorgeous?  I’m thinking someone can come and do mine like that all year round 🙂
