<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Many letterpressers also create custom invitation suites for special events, and <a href="http://skyofbluecards.com/" target="_blank">Sky of Blue Cards</a> is no exception. But, if it&#8217;s a smaller party that requires 50 invitations or less, the client doesn&#8217;t want letterpress, or the design simply doesn&#8217;t lend itself to letterpress, CEO &; Chief Designer Karla Ebrahimi will</span><span class="s1"> try something else. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Sometimes she digitally prints invitations and enhances them with either store-bought or custom-designed rubber stamps, using them with ink stamp pads or even heat embossing them in a clear or corresponding color. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">&#8220;I LOVE heat embossing; it&#8217;s so festive and clients love the hand-made aspect of it,&#8221; Karla told me. &#8220;I&#8217;ve found that my clients also love to have a custom-made stamp. It&#8217;s nice for them because they can use it for thank you notes after the event is over.&#8221;</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">For this Camp Fortitude 40th birthday party poster invitation and components, instead of illustrating it herself, Karla sourced the vintage camp icons and purchased the license for a one-time-only run. &#8220;That invitation suite was probably one of the coolest things I&#8217;ve created in a while,&#8221; she told me. </span></p>
<p class="p1">Although I&#8217;m more of the glamping type, these are so fun! I love the color palette and especially the little icon on the envelope.</p>

<p class="p3">&#8220;It&#8217;s all just a complete joy to create these pieces, and I&#8217;m so very lucky that I get to do this for a living!&#8221; Karla finished. I think Karla&#8217;s love for design is definitely evident in this adorable suite.</p>
