There are a couple of things upon which we can all agree. Gifts add pleasure to the holidays. Printers should send holiday cards bearing gifts. Thanks to the design work of Fred Schaub and the production talents of BurdgeCooper, this was accomplished in high style.
The first present tucked neatly inside this traditional greeting is a packet of gift tags. (So appreciated as I always run out of them during the frantic wrapping season.) The next present is the elation I experienced touching these pieces.
Inspired by the stripes of candy canes and the sparkle of fine gems, a transcendent combination of papers and printing techniques came together in a bright and contemporary way.
The shimmer of the Stardream, the gloss of the foil stamp, the texture of the So…Silk and engraving – my fingers and eyes didn’t know where to go first. The color combinations of the metallic papers and foils work beautifully together. The engraving on the inside of the card is deliciously crisp with the ink sitting atop the paper for pure color joy.
