Three months on

It's nearly three months since I've gone solo, running Cardblanche by myself. It has been a very busy time, juggling jobs and taking care of the babies at home. I try to do whatever I can when they are napping - emails, tying ribbons, folding stuff... And when I go to the studio I work as hard as can be. It's been somewhat fulfilling and gratifying that I can somehow do this on my own and be able to keep going. What makes it so good is when satisfied clients say thank you when they collect their stationery from me. I try my best to make everyone happy, and I do work hard for my money, so your appreciation really counts in motivating me to do what I love to do.

I must thank heaven as well, for guiding me. I'm always thankful for that. :)

A moment captured


A couple requested for their photo to be incorporated into their Thank You cards. We used the monogram that was on their invitations and integrated the design with their photo. Simple and sophisticated.

Do note we charge a small fee to touch up and enhance photographs for use on invitations etc.

Thermal Embossing


Whilst we don't feel that printing effects are truly needed to enhance the design of an invitation, this one here is something that would definitely impress and not in an over the top manner.


Subtle and sleek, thermal embossing involves having raised text in the colour that your invitation is printed in.


Printing effects like hotstamping and embossing are very traditional and common, so thermal embossing could be an option for you should you wish to add a unique touch to your invitations.

They require a minimum of 100 invitations, do email us for details.

A suite of blossoms


We've done our cherry blossom design for many couples, but what we love about this one is the cohesiveness of all the various items in the set, matched together perfectly.

There was an invitation, a reception card, and an info card with map.


We did a nice map with simple lines and markings. It's perfect for many directions in places like the UK.

Radiating in the Summer


Here's a perennial favourite - the "radiating" motif - in a yellow and a lime green colour scheme. Both exude summer warmth and excitement.

Lovebirds


We recently did these invitations featuring birds.


These are from our newest collection, and these couples had completely different colour schemes for the design. Both looked great!


Whilst the yellow and brown version is sunny and cheery, this navy and pink one is sweet and spring-like.


The adorable bird couple was matched by lovely calligraphed names.
