There are a lot (looooot!) of things going on at our end lately, so obviously, there’s no more time to update this blog as often as i’d want to. That’s why i kinda took it to Instagram for “live updates”. It’s a lot easier than to plan a whole blog post. And i get to share with you the latest projects we’re working on while we’re actually working on them!
There were so many great projects we took on lately that i’m not sure how i’m going to write a separate blog post for each one… Therefore, this one will be a general introduction for several of them.
We worked on some custom bow tie boxes that we hot foil printed on! This was actually the first hot foil printing project we took and they turned out so cute!! We made some samples with the foil we had available at the time, so we used silver, gold, copper, matte red and a dark brown.
Since then we actually took on several other hot foil projects and i’m so very excited about this! They turn out so beautiful and elegant that i decided to change my own business cards and make them entirely hot foil!
Then we worked on a set of business cards and tags and we used a unique ink color here; very delicate and subtle and incredibly difficult to recreate actually! :)
The above is Gemma’s photo and you can see pictures of her amazing work over here.
We actually hand mixed the ink so that it would get to the hue she was after and we were thrilled that she was happy with the result!
Then we worked on a couple of round business cards and i’m starting to like them more and more (actually we just took on another project involving round business cards!).
I was a bit nervous when we worked on the Arisdot letterpress project. Usually letterpress doesn’t work well with large portions of pressed paper, but they actually turned out great! Not only that, but we took on another similar project with pressed background and that one too turned out great!
After that we took on a custom design project that i totally loved and we were praised for!
Finally, the last project i’ll introduce to you here is a custom design letterpress wedding invitation. Well actually it’s an engagement invitation to be more precise.
These are only a few of the projects we worked on lately, but there are so many others i have to talk about! I decided i have to have a separate blog post for all the hot foil projects we did and another one for all the projects involving edge painting. I absolutely love edge painting!
Hopefully i’ll be able to update this more often!
The Funky Studio team wishes you, as always, a colorful day!
Looks like you’ve been very busy indeed! I agree it’s easier to quickly post on instagram rather than writing a whole post. Your work is amazing! Love the bow tie packaging :)
