I worked with Carter & Cook with their lovely client, Rachel, in developing my Burgues font to accomany her gorgeous letterpress invitations. The ink was a custom mix to match perfectly with her letterpressed return address and invitations.

Recent Calligraphy work

Jessica Beltran — Thu, 27 Jan 2011 21:50:52 +0000

I know, its been forever. those who actually follow this blog must be bored out of their mind. my appologies, darlings.

January is a big month for calligraphy and invitations for me; reason being, everyone says, “we’ll decide on invitations/flowers/dresses/etc. after the holidays.” which means im dead bored from Thanksgiving through the New Year, and as soon as January hits, I get swamped with all the oh-crap-i-have-to-get-these-invitations-out-in-like-a-week brides. i should start charging a rush fee. no joke.

Calligraphy font: Kate

last one for today: Kate calligraphy. Its a traditional font, but is a bit more weighted than Georgiana for a bit more personality.

Georgianna calligraphy font: I love this style – its elegant, classic and very traditional, perfect for invitations for a formal wedding or event.

Happy Engagement card with calligraphy

Jessica — Fri, 16 Apr 2010 22:12:00 +0000

A good friend of my hubby recently got engaged to his long time girlfriend {horray!} and I wanted to create a pretty little card to send them to congratulate them on their engagement. I used buttercup yellow, chocolate brown and a pretty opaque blue calligraphy.

The enveloeps were lined in matching paper {as usual, you know how much I LOVE envelope liners!}

I created a monogram with the couple’s first initials:

I used Paper Source’s diagnal fold enclosures to hold the card. I wrote their names on the cover and created a wrap around band out of the same pattern.

A little card was tucked inside with our congratulatory note:

so pretty!

My first calligraphy class!

Jessica — Mon, 05 Apr 2010 14:05:00 +0000

Last month I tought my first calligraphy class! The class was held at the Paper Souce in Carlsbad where they set up our table, ink, pens and some Paper Souce goodies to play with. We lined the table with brown craft paper and I wrote all the students names in white calligraphy above each seat.

The class at work:

Miss Aileen Tran was a star student! She was naturally predisposed to be amazing with a great artistic background. See more of her amazing work with her mom, Karen Tran, here!

First, we practiced in little notebooks, then moved to more intimidating pieces, like envelopes!

The lovely miss Carlena from Paper Souce made up these adorable signs for the two different calligrpahy classes being taught (mine are the bottom two envelopes)

If you have never visited a Paper Source, its an amazing and dreamy place!

Today’s calligraphy work

Jessica — Wed, 03 Feb 2010 21:08:00 +0000

I had a couple calligraphy projects this week! The first was a package of table numbers and menus going to Concept Events Design for their display table. Natrually, I packed the whole thing up quite pretty and addressed it in white opaque ink!

I had an invitation shipment this week…the post office loves to see how I address the boxes – they always get a kick out of me insisting I apply the postage stickers myself so they dont make my pretty box look ugly. Wouldnt you love to recieve a package like this?

A couple more that got sent out this week:

white opaque ink on seaglass invitations

metallic purple on blush envelopes:

avacado opaque ink on indigo envelopes:

This weeks calligraphy project

Jessica — Fri, 04 Dec 2009 18:17:00 +0000

Not a huge calligraphy project this week, but I got to send one overseas, and I always like that! I dont usually use black ink, so I got a bit crazy on this one and ventured out.
