Hot Card Of The Week #TBT

Each Thursday we revisit a previous Hot Card that deserves a second glance. This sophisticated B'nai Mitzvah invitation, originally posted on 5/28/14, is (once again!) from our friend Stacey at Creative Expressions in East Rockaway, New York. The gleaming white litho NYC skyline jumps off of the deep black paper, beckoning guests to what was surely a night to remember in the Big Apple. A custom liner completes this sleek, contemporary masterpiece.

Hot Card Of The Week

Blake It 'Til You Make It
Our retailers often customize designs in such a beautifully ingenious way that it makes us stop and say, "Why didn't we think of that?!" For Blake's eye-popping Bar Mitzvah invitation, our friend Mickey at Sidelines in Rockville, MD applied a bold, masculine palette to #B534 in our Mitzvah V book, resulting in a true work of invitation art that belongs as much in a museum as it does a mailbox! 

LVC Celebrates International Women's Day

March 8th marked International Women's Day - a time to celebrate the accomplishments of inspiring women and girls around the world. I don't normally get mushy with my newsletters, but this week I want to take a look at Luscious Verde's exciting history and the women behind the magic! 
Cover page for LVC's first ever album                                                                  LVC's "The Trendys" awards  
Fourteen years ago two mothers with an entrepreneurial spirit and a unique sense of creativity started a company dedicated to creating one-of-a-kind birth announcements stylistically different from anything else on the market. Chris and Wendy, LVC's Co-Owners, embarked on this journey by producing an initial album (which some of you may still have today!) featuring colorful cards with simple die-cut imagery. This first LVC book was distributed to nine retailers across the country.
With its unparalleled customization options and adorable designs, Luscious Verde boomed. Our mission to help people celebrate the important times in their lives soon grew from just birth announcements to include Holidays, Mitzvahs, and Weddings, and what started as a company with two employees headquartered in Chris' living room soon gained a national presence. Through the vision and passion of our Co-Founders, LVC is now fortunate enough to work with hundreds of talented retailers, creating beautiful invitations for thousands of events each year.
