Call of the Wild

As Christmas draws closer, here are some wonderful examples of Christmas cards, all printed on our lovely Shiro Echo, Bright White 300gsm,  which is 100% recycled and has FSC Mix accreditation.
The cards are from a range called "Call of the Wild" by London based card publisher Roger La Borde. They are 4pp cards printed offset litho in four colours and the cards are either laser cut or embellished with hot foil blocking.
 
The below lasercut cards are illustrated by Antoana Oreski
The below card is illustrated by Jane Ray and is embellished with gold hot foil blocking in the illustration which works brilliantly well.

The cards are published by Roger la Borde.

The cards are printed offset litho by Lion House Press who are in West London and the foiling is by Graphite Creative who are based in St Albans. The lasercutting is by Trilogy Lasercraft.

High Five Friday!

Here is a card from a range of greeting cards called Thefty from London based card publisher Roger La Borde. This is a 4pp card printed offset litho in two colours and I thought it was important to write about this card as it has been further embellished with the addition of thermography on the front of the card.
The size of the card is 147x100mm, which is what Roger la Borde describe as their Petite size. the card is printed on Shiro Echo, Bright White 300gsm, which is 100% recycled and has FSC Mix accreditation.
I wasn't able to catch the thermography in both colours (black and green) against the light with my unsophisticated camera equipment (!) so I've shot the thermo'd areas individually, as you can see below:
I have written about thermography before, so if you are interested to find out about the process, please click on the following link: http://justinsamazingworldatfennerpaper.blogspot.co.uk/2014/02/what-is-number-2.html

The cards are published by Roger la Borde and the design is by Helena Maratheftis.

The cards are printed by Lion House Press who are in West London and the thermography is by Graphite Creative who are based in St Albans.
