More Stationery Examples

I will be the first to admit that I really took advantage of this break to take a literal break. However I did spend a lot of my spare time actually thinking about my stationery designs and allowing my mind to be somewhat of a "melting pot" for ideas; I'd throw random things in there and allow them to simmer and see how they turned out on paper when I had time to write them down.  I did more research and googling and here some images of the creative look I'm going for. Now all I need to do is get it to manifest on paper.  I did get a chance to actually do a lil draft of a business card. It's not completely to my liking yet but I'll post it later on today.

I thought this one was cool because of the CD. It reminded me of the stickers that I wanted to try and add into my stationery set.

 I like the idea of the watermark design that had been used in the background on the stationery set above and how it is also a part of the original logo. 

In the set below, I like how the design on the second sheet is playfully and professionally incorporated throughout the stationery yet doesn't overpower it.

Each of these has a logo with it's own image incorporated into it. Similar to my logo and my cupacke/chef hat, especially on the one directly above. I like how the individual image has been used professionally in one aspect of the stationey and then playfully on another with supporting designs to help it out. 

I also played around with the idea of embossing. This example is really elegant and pretty.
