OsloPress

July marks our 2 year birthday here at Oslo Press!  That’s right, our doors (aka this website) have been officially open for business for 2 years!  The past couple of years have been a crazy hectic time full of learning and a whole lot of late nights; but every minute has been an awesome adventure that I can’t imagine not having been a part of.  To celebrate, we’re participating in a little giveaway over on Style Me Pretty.  Be sure to head on over there for a chance to win 100 engraved wood place cards, escort cards, or favor tags.  Best of luck!!

Just thought I would share a peak at some custom invites that we recently finished and shipped off.  At the request of the bride, I created this illustration for her upcoming fall wedding.  This project actually began with save the dates – where a smaller but similar leaf illustration made an appearance.  I then developed the idea further once it was time to work on the invites.   A little later on I will be able to share more, but for now, here are some closeups:

Apparently, I have had my fill of the summer heat because this warm combination of colors is making me more than ready for fall.

What you see:  laser engraved walnut veneer,  letterpress on ecru paper

We are happy to announce that we have recently added a new typeface to our collection.  It’s not up on the site just yet, but here is a little demonstration:

This calligraphy inspired typeface designed by Ale Paul, is full of flourishes and possibilities.  Like what you see but not sure it is the right fit for your invite?  That’s what we’re here for.  When working together to create your stationery, you will always have the opportunity to see several different typefaces in action.  Burgues, as well as some of the other scripts in our collection, can be dressed up a bit for more flair, or can be left simple and clean.  We are more than happy to show you the different looks that can be achieved with each one.  All you have to do is ask…
