Letterpress Printed Business Cards

Here is a little collection of some of the business cards recently printed at Flying Rabbit Press. It’s such a delight to work with so many local designers!

Design by Ericka Seastrand.

Gilding the Edges

Monday, January 2nd, 2012

Applying gold leaf to the edges of paper is not something that I ever imagined I’d be doing. It’s a slow and finicky process, which suggests that I should have counted on doing it at some point, since I tend to gravitate toward that sort of thing. It’s worth the time it takes once you have the finished product in hand, though.

These cards are a thick 220 lb cotton cardstock that were letterpress printed prior to having the edges gilded.

The Finished Wedding Stationery

Saturday, October 15th, 2011

This beautiful wedding stationery was designed by the bride, Michelle Butindaro. The printing was done here at Flying Rabbit Press; the text in black, and the accents in a subtle iridescent purple. You may have seen the photo of it in progress in the last post.

After the printing and trimming were completed, Michelle adhered each piece to iridescent backing paper, and mounted the invitations, themselves, to the inside of these lovely, cloth covered folios. The reception card, hotel card, rsvp card, and return envelope all tuck in nicely beneath the ribbon on the right hand side of the folio.

No detail was left unconsidered. The monogram on the front of the folio is a mere one inch square, but the invitations would be lacking with out it.
