The Perpetual Calendar of Collective Nouns in the Animal Kingdom

We have been printing our first Birthday / Perpetual Calendar this week. We have opted for a two colour (hot pink for the days, and charcoal for the imagery and month names).

We spent hours on the internet poring over various collective nouns and finally decided to do one based on the animal kingdom. All imagery has been designed and hand-drawn by my talented husband.

We will be launching these at Kamersvol Geskenke which is in two weeks's time. www.kamersvol.com

Super Thick....

We have recently got some samples of a thick board  (500gsm) which prints beautifully.  We tried a few runs of the new Essie Letterpress business card on it.

We are looking forward to using it for wedding invites, coasters and artworks.

Olive Oil Labels

We were recently approached to print some limited edition olive oil labels for De Zalze Winelands and Golf Estate near Stellenbosch.

Blueberry advertising did the design and passed it onto us for printing. We printed on Self-Adhesive paper, which obviously makes the applying to the bottles much easier.

The off-white slightly textured paper and the Vintage design help to create an old-wordly feeling.

Bon Appetit!

Spring has sprung

It is so wonderful to finally have Spring here! (although today doesn't feel much like Spring....)

We went on a day trip up to Nieuwoudtville recently to see the flowers and we were very insprired by all that Mother Nature has to offer.

We were asked by a client to design some personalised stationery for her and her family with an
indigenous floral border, comprised of Aloes, Proteas etc. so our little road trip proved to be quite valuable...

Kamersvol Geskenke

We are taking part in Kamersvol Geskenke this year and I have been madly printing to gather enough stock.

We are really excited, as this is our first big fair that we are taking part it.  It runs from 25th to 29th October at Lourensford Wine Estate, Somerset West.
.
We will be selling our usual products, plus we are designing new products to showcase at the show.

We will be selling single notecards, boxed notecards, gift tags, artworks, calendars and lots more.

Recipe Cards

We have designed and just printed our first set of recipe cards this past week. They are a6 size and sold in boxes of 20. They are a great gift for Hen parties- where each guest fills in her favourite recipe for the bride-to-be.

These will be available from the stores we supply in the next month or two.

Samantha's Baby Shower

My sister is having a baby in October (first baby in the family!) so we decided to design and print some baby shower invites. We used Delft design as an inspiration as my father's side of the family is Dutch. We mixed up a gorgeous blue especially for the design.

This is our first baby shower design, but we are hoping to do more in the future.
