We have had a fantastic year for Bluebells


This is the time of year for Bluebells. All around us in the fells and under the trees in the woods, we have had the most glorious bluebells. With the weather being so wet, it must have created the perfect environment for the bluebells and they have popped up everywhere and have given us the most glorious display all over the sides of the fells and in the Grizedale forest under and around trees everywhere. Bluebells can sit dormant in the ground for years until conditions are right for them. With the warm beginning to April and then the really wet conditions we must have created the perfect environment for bluebells.

We have also had horrendous blustery winds - and even though there is absolutely nothing nice about them, the winds have been carrying the bluebells sweet scent, in drifts around us just as they appear in drifts in their natural surroundings.

Great Britain holds claim to have 70 percent of the worlds bluebells growing in it and this year they really have come out in carpets.

We print many images of bluebells in the various print methods that we use. We have prints of bluebells made into postcards greetings cards, giclee prints, fine art reproductions. I invite you to share your pictures of this years bluebells. Use one of our print processes to remember this years bluebells with.

May is here - Where is the year going?


We are nearly half way through the year and we have a good summer forecast. Lets hope they are right! Some good weather and sunshine will be just what we all need.
We have been printing some new and interesting cards and just recently some wedding stationery. Wedding Stationery Designs have been using papers that have a sparkle as well as using our own specially manufactured board. The images are bright and refreshing and have a modern feel. All the floral designs that we have been printing recently has added to the spring feeling and we have all enjoyed working with these designs from the initial order stage, through planning, printing, guillotining and finally packing of the cards.

Being someone who loves all forms of flowers and plants I love the bright simplicity of these cards. The Wedding Stationery Company has an extensive range of everything anyone could possibly require in terms of matching stationary. If you like the look of these cards then visit their website to see the full range of what they offer. The Wedding Stationery Designs website is weddingstationerydesigns.co.uk

This is just another way to show how diverse we are and how we can tailor what we can do to suit an individuals requirements. If you have a printing project you would like to embark on contact us, for personal service, individual quotes and an outstanding end product. Quality is what we are about.

Folders


We think our folders are an excellent way of presenting promotional materials - a series of postcards or greetings cards packaged in a folder offers an alternative way of marketing your work. Your printed visual message can go on the front, back and the flaps. The folders, as shown overleaf, can be produced in either a horizontal or vertical format and they have two interlocking flaps.

Full colour folders include a colour image on the front and back coupled with text and logos printed in black. If you supply your design on disk ready to output, any number of images can be included.

One colour folders can be printed in a solid colour incorporating black text or alternatively printed in just a single colour on a white background.

A colour proof of the layout and text of your folder is supplied prior to printing

We are happy to send samples of folders - just let us have an idea of what you want to produce. We can print folders to any design or size - just give us a call and we’ll send you an individual estimate.
