Featured Wedding!

Finally got my hands on a few of the pictures from Katie and Aaron's wedding. Their wedding was featured on the Knot some time ago but I'd had a really hard time finding the pics to upload. Today I was surprised to see that the images and the original feature were magically linked to our Knot profile! Katie is an amazing illustrator and she and Aaron designed the invitation suite together. Together with Dick & Jane, we nailed down the colors, paper and final details. Everything turned out wonderfully and the pics from the ceremony/reception were just AMAZING! Have a look for yourself!

Katie Evans has been involved here at Dick and Jane for years. She started as an intern helping out with all sorts of projects as she finished school. Katie has since gone on to work with a number of other companies offering her unique design/illustration style across the Twin Cities. You can check out her work at hellokatieevans.comWe recently commissioned Katie to help us create this totally jaw dropping letterpress invitation design. Every letter, every line, completely hand drawn by Katie. We're calling it "Love Blooms Eternal". The design was released at the October TCBA Wedding Show in Minneapolis receiving a wealth of positive feedback. We've since begun the fall/winter process of working on a collection of new designs for the Spring season. Katie will be creating at least 2-3 more illustrations in her one-of-a-kind style. Each of Katie's designs (including Love Blooms Eternal) are being added to the collection line up. Clients simply submit their text and Katie illustrates the entire piece. 100% hand drawn, hand lettered, and 100% guaranteed to knock peoples socks off!

Stay tuned. We will post a lot more info on the upcoming designs as we get them wrapped up. Thanks for visiting the letterpress blog!

Just a quick entry here. Our good friends, neighbor and carpenter Bob Zalaznik of Blue Prairie Cabinetry and Renovations LLC just picked up his business card order. He requested a new design with the working themes of prarie style, craftsmanship, vintage, quality. (Note: there is no web address. Bob is wicked oldschool!)We finalized this design and printed on crane lettra ecru paper. The tiny illustration of the hand planner was pulled from an antique home carpentry book from the 40's. The type selection was a modern adaptation inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright type designs.
