Sorta in love with how these turned out. Trying out a batch of custom notebooks ahead of Mother’s Day.

Working with ornament and historical context is one of our hallmarks. Pulling it all together with a copper foil stamp on cotton paper even better.

From our editorial archives, we thought we’d post a pretty yellow number for a 🌼.

Sharing a design that we haven’t posted before but hoping to get better pictures of soon. Taking a bit of inspiration from warm hues of green, rust, ivory and browns, this suite features a chalky ivory on green with a full flood floral art piece and copper foil monogram. We added a custom map and floral lined envelope to finish off the look.

Was super excited to pull together a cohesive look for Casey and Daniel’s day just outside of Nashville.

It’s been a hot moment between posts.

This year has been an exceptionally busy one. For many years, we have worked under the radar on “word of mouth” projects in the corporate world.

To kick off 2023, this was one of our smaller projects which included wall graphics and installation for Truity Partners’ brand new, and much larger, office in Madison.

Wall mounts, stand off graphics and specialty coated vinyls were used to provide bare walls with a bit less all there gray.

Today's first phone call was from Lila (and Allen). We initially did their wedding invites, and last helped them in 2015 with creating "boat cards" which are essentially calling cards for marine enthusiasts and boaters.

I always think of them has having the best honeymoon vacation ever. Sounds like they are still travelling.

In 2015, they had a plan to navigate the "Great Loop" which is essentially travel by boat, nearly 6,000 miles, using lakes, rivers, canals, and the ocean, and they did it. To top it off, they have since boated the perimeter of the Great Lakes and most recently decided to take a trip from Maine to Florida to winter it out. Incredible story. Now, we've been asked to create a retirement party invite for Allen. How cool is that!

A super fun project from 2018 for a wedding at The Fields Reserve, a Wisconsin barn venue just outside of Madison.

Playing on the couple's palette of shades of blue and gold, we designed a suite that followed a folk Americana thread, one of using quilt square signage found on barns throughout the Midwest and paring it with a woodblock floral design to soften it up. This design one is one of my favorites.

What a great couple to work with! We were given the opportunity to create some projects outside of their invitation suite, and while the images may be impromptu, the outcome was just as we hoped. Some of these projects served as a test run for larger, more complex ones we were working on, enabling our production team to work on a smaller scale piece to work the bugs out before going big time.

We appreciate this opportunity so much!

Need to jazz up a blank space? Work with Event Essentials! Special thanks to Event Designer, Korrine, for looping us in this December event at Madison's Alliant Center.

Our installation included 12 full color, projected LED, acrylic pieces (as big as we could get them and we went with an icy blue light selection), that would help identify several food station spaces in the expo hall. Each piece was just a little bit unique in it's cut.

Working with this size of acrylic is a bit nerve wracking due to it's weight and fragility, but all worked out on our first go at it. I can't wait for the next project like this. Already doing a few smaller comps.

Special thanks to Tim Fitch for the captures.

❤️ this color. Hoping it helps us move away from the overdone blush.
