Sometimes projects inspire great feelings in the people who work on them, but other times feelings inspire great projects. This project’s roots began during a lunch meeting in 2022 and blossomed into an inspiring story of collaboration and the power of a handwritten note.
The project had one common goal in mind – to create a beautiful notecard set that would allow recipients to send one positive note to one person a day. It was executed by an amazing group of women – Meredith Collins of Domtar, Marie Langdon of Midland, Robin Ward of The Write Design, Christy Schneider of Inkello Letterpress and Rhonda Gibler of ProPrint — who all understand that quality and kindness go hand-in-hand.
Printed digitally with letterpress on Cougar 130 lb. cover and bound with belly bands made with Lettermark Colors Index, the Gratitude Notecards touch on three important themes: 1) the idea of being kind, 2) sharing a kind word and 3) hoping that effort has a ripple effect.
The “You Inspire Me” and “We Can Do This” cards were blind embossed using polymer plates and the “Best Days” and “You Are Amazing” cards were hot foil stamped with metallic silver foil. All cards and belly bands were digitally printed using a Konica Minolta Accuriopress C6085.
