Want to add a luxe touch to your stationery without making it feel too formal? Consider textured leather. All of the enclosure cards in this suite were delivered in a hand-punched leather envelope, which could later double as a keepsake holder or even as a small clutch. And let's not forget about the custom bandana save-the-date.

Experiment With Shapes
