Invitations: Envelope Sneak Peek

Many moons ago it seems, I showed you my save the dates and I mentioned I would be working with the same Etsy seller, Twin Ravens Press, on the invitation suite. Kristin at Twin Ravens has been unBEElievable to work with, and I would recommend her to anyone for letterpress and totally unique invitations, business cards, and whatever else you can think of to letterpress! I thought you might enjoy this little peek at the envelopes and the letterpress process! (All photos by Kristin and sent to me)



The paper for my envelope liners, before
This paper is natural lotka paper with embedded flower petals

The envelopes fully lined



The letterpress



The printing plate for our return address with the blue ink on it



Our envelopes going to meet the printing plate



Our envelopes coming off the printing plate



And the finished envelope!

I'm so happy that Kristin sent me these pictures, and I could share a tiny sneak peek of what's to come with you!

Do you have a great vendor that you'd like to recommend? Have any of your vendors gone above and beyond to keep you involved throughout your engagement?
