Theme From "Star Wars"
This week's fruitful hot card comes to us from the Dotted I, with locations in Concord and Needham, Massachusetts.

07.01.09
Croque Monsieur

Rawr!
This week's card is from Eileen at Spoiled Rotten in Woodbury, New York, who is the self-proclaimed president of the Luscious Verde Fan Club.

06.17.09
Biz Markie
This week's custom hot card is a Luscious Verde original. Wedding shower invitations tend to be on the ho-hum side -- not from us, dadgummit. This custom bridal shower invite showcases a few L.V. touchstones: excellent design, typesetting, and a liner that screams, "I'm totally awesome. Look at me." As long as you're getting married, you might as well get cool stuff. Am I right?
06.10.09
Fruit Floes
This week's hot card comes to us from You Name It in Bellevue, Washington.

Wake us up in September!
06.03.09
Pigeon Be Gone!
Today's hot card is from a newer retailer of ours, Nota Bene in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

The wonderful assortment of chartreuse green, orange and white papers are topped off by a motif from their mintage lovebirds liner pattern.
05.27.09
Rock and Roll Train
Today's hot card comes to us from, well, us. We've done a fair amount of celebrity stationery, and this beautiful piece adapted from our Bar/Bat Mitzvah Catalog is one of them. Sarah Jessica Parker is simply a fashion icon, and we couldn't have been happier to do her personal stationery.
05.20.09

Seis de Mayo
We are officially not kidding when we say we can do whatever any of our customers want.

Check. A name in ancient hieroglyphics? Hey, why not?
05.06.09

04.29.09
Stella
This week's hot card started its life as a design challenge from a national style magazine: design a set of wedding stationery that matches a new dress from a top designer. OK, we said, no problem. Oh, they said, could you get it to us in two days? Sure! We're Luscious Verde! We quickly designed, printed, and assembled this great pink, red, purple and white wedding stationery, lickety-split. Luscious Verde: yes we can!
04.22.09
Luscious Earth
Today we're showcasing a Hot Card of our own design, in order to show the world how our new cut paper images from our Bar/Bat Mitzvah update can be incorporated into existing Luscious Verde designs (in this case, an awesome folder from our Wedding Catalog, Volume I) . Take note of the cut paper tree at the bottom, a creative placecard for an environmental or nature themed bar mitzvah.
04.15.09
Taxing Issues
This week's hot card showcases what an organization can accomplish when it comes to event design (it's also a two-fer, at no additional cost to you)! We create many invitations for celebrations, whether they're graduations, corporate events, charity fundraisers, or your Uncle Larry's 60th birthday party. Adding your personal or organization's logo to the envelope liner makes these cards truly unique.
04.08.09
Rollin', Rollin', Rollin'
This week's hot card comes to us from our friends at the Stationery Company in Denver, Colorado.

04.01.09
Cute Little Rascal
This week's hot card comes to us from Open Dialog in East Norriton, Pennsylvania, and it's got us seeing circles -- yes, we can do circles!

What great choices for a spring event!
03.25.09

All in all, one of the loveliest invitations we've done in recent memory.
03.18.09
National Hangover Day
Get "tuned in" (we're so funny) with this awesome custom birth announcement in dark brown and pink, designed by us and suggested to us by our friends at R.S.V.P. in Roslyn, New York. Why let your announcement be a blank screen? We can custom-design almost anything -- want a card featuring Abraham Lincoln riding a rollercoaster? We can probably do that.
03.11.09
An Optimized Future State
This cool and festive custom bubbles Bat Mitzvah invitation in fuchsia, teal and silver was designed by Stationery Stephanie in Short Hills, New Jersey. Reminiscent of spirograph drawings from the 1970s, the circle pattern on the portfolio cover is repeated on the pocket and main invitation panel, as you can see from this montage by our resident paparazzo, Lindsay.
03.04.09
The Mysteries of Londonderry Air
This week's hot card, from Out of the Box in Rye Brook, New York, has a lot of things going for it. It's a Bar Mitzvah invitation that has an outrageously cool custom die-cut of the soon-to-be-a-man's name, plied dark blue and silver paper, AND, top it all off, our new-ish lithography process, which we offer in silver (as shown), gold, white and cream. This card is so fine we want to take it home to meet our parents.
02.25.09
Hope
A.K.A. Invites in Potomac, MD, a regular hotbed of LVC activity, designed this tiered and layered wedding information card in Chocolate Brown, Red and Cream. It's a luxurious weekend itinerary card for the guests, with area attractions and things to do on the last page. Many bridal invitations have a simple event listing, but when it's your special day, why not tell them in style where to take their screaming kids?
02.18.09
I Got a Snuggie for Valentine's Day
Today's hot card was originally featured in our wedding catalog as a rose red and chocolate brown wedding invitation. That invite was creatively morphed into a sophisticated Bat Mitzvah invitation by Toby Dondis in Waban, Massachusetts (stellar job!) . The resulting unique bat mitzvah invitation beautifully exposes our Roses color-tone pattern in deep red, pairing it with cream and a subtle hint of antique gold.
02.13.09
Verde is for Lovers
Because it's Friday the 13th, we decided to bring you an extra lucky Hot Card. This birthday party invitation came to us from the good people of Soiree San Francisco, and is originally from our Baby Announcement catalog. It's a first birthday party invitation that also incorporates a Valentine's Day theme, and it was simply too cute to pass up! (Excuse us if we spend Valentine's Day with a pint of Haagen-Dazs.)
02.11.09
It's Spelled "Lincoln"
This week's hot card comes to us from the lovely people of Kate's Paperie, in Manhattan and Greenwich, Connecticut.

It's the little touches that make an announcement truly memorable.
02.05.09
Happy 30th Birthday, Rob!

These unique southern party invitations, done for Anne Grace Designs, are more cute-croc than scary-croc. The personalized custom die-cut reflects the customer's Cajun upbringing. The cool blue paper elicits calm while you realize that this crocodile will do you no harm.

Give Peace a Chance
This week's hot card is a peace, love and happiness Bat Mitzvah invite that mixes up a few of our paper colors in a way that's delightfully refreshing.

Rock and Roll Edition
This hot card is in honor of a hot day here at Luscious Verde. (More on that later.) It's a completely custom design that we cooked up from a personalized invitation idea by the birthday girl's mother and our retailer Laura Beth's Baby Collection. A replica of the size of a seven-inch single, it features our paper colors Fuchsia (hot pink) and Onyx Metallic (black) and a custom-cut record. Quite the big idea!

Waiting for North Dakota Edition
This out-of-this-world airplane birth announcement really takes off! (Sorry.) It features our newish paper colors Breeze, Kiwi, and our trusty standby, White Smooth. Give Luscious Verde your pilot project, and we'll be sure to pass your design test with flying colors! Ha ha! (Please don't hit me.)

Dance-Off Edition
This week's hot card is a testament that, in concert with a customer's creativity, we can make something incredibly special. This unique wedding invitation features a modified version of a design from volume two of our Bar/Bat Mitzvah catalog, showing that pretty much any of our designs fit with, well, pretty much any one of your events.

Hoot Edition
This card, one of assistant operations manager Lindsay's favorites, is from D.Y. Ink in Briarcliff Manor, New York. It combines a wonderful layered and textured feel with saturated colors. It's a fine color option for a masculine Bar Mitzvah.

A Milli Edition
This unique custom birth announcement comes to us from The Perfect Type in Scarsdale, New York. Whimsical animals are incredibly popular in these parts, and none more so than this cute elephant. The use of our paper colors Eggplant and Frosting pink add a touch of femininity and a wonderful splash of color.

Da Bomb Edition
This creative, colorful and floral Bat Mitzvah invite (with eyelets and matching custom die-cuts) is truly one of the most innovative and gorgeous invitation designs ever created by a Luscious Verde retailer and their customer. Kudos to Elise at No Regrets in Newton Centre, Massachusetts for the wicked cool design eye. We have "no regrets" about producing it for them! Heh! (Sorry.)

We're Outta Here Edition
This is one lucky baby. We're guessing his stylish mom and her equally hip Luscious Verde retailer (the awesome Say Cheese and Thank You in Irvington, New York) put together this colorful, unique orange and blue baby boy birth announcement and matching personalized stationery. It's a simple yet interesting design concept and we just love it!

Bartleby Pincus Edition
A totally hip, deeply saturated, colorful birth announcement for a boy that manages to be soft at the same time. Baby yellow and blue has never been so chic! We're impressed.

Case of the Mondays Edition
Colorful note cards with personality. We love the customer's color choice of apple green paper with a teal birdie and teal envelope for their personalized stationery. Makes us love green even that much more . . .

Rob's Half-Birthday Edition
This modern, layered, red, black and kraft colored bar mitzvah invitation and coordinating custom envelope liner is subtle yet very stylish. Just like we like it!
