Here's a sneak preview of a new ribbon design that you will see at WPPI! I couldn't be more excited about this new design on our Folio's. It's sophisticated, delicate, charming and elegant! More info coming soon!

I love this custom Presentation Box that we just created. The Presentation Box was created with English Linen fabric and has a Mini-Folio with Crimson fabric. The Mini-Folio is magnetized so it easily lifts from the box. Additionally there is a self-mounted album (or it can be a Guest Book) made with Chocolate Brown fabric in the top tray of the box along with Museum Board Mats that are gently tucked in a separate tray below the album. The Mats are easily removed with a lift ribbon. There are so many options in one elegant box!

This was such a great project that I really enjoyed working on with our amazing Cypress team. In fact, I can't wait to make one of these for myself! I just love it!! There are so many possibilities when it comes to custom boxes and albums...or any of our products. Let us know if there is something special that you want to create. We would love to collaborate with you!

(My apologies for the dark images...I am definitely a bookmaker and not a photographer ....and I wanted to share with you asap.) ....Dena

Invitation Mounting...




We just finished creating this Cypress Album for Adeline & Grace Weddings and I love it! The cover is so classic and elegant. This invitation was just meant to be on the cover. Invitations can be mounted on the cover, inside the cover, or on any page of the album. It's a great idea to add an invitation to an album. There are so many keepsakes after a wedding and it's so nice to have the invite included with your heirloom album. Speeches and poems can also be added to your album. A simple and elegant pocket can be added to the inside of your Presentation Box to hold some of the wonderful keepsakes from the wedding too. The possibilities are endless. Just contact us and we will help you add these options to your design.


We love to customize your heirlooms....... It adds a special, personal touch!

Love this....


We just finished creating this 8x8 Whistler Book for Tanya Alexis and we just love it! The two small images in the right hand corner are so intriguing that when you see it, you just can't wait to open the book and see the other images. It's such a great design with her images. The Whistler Book is a great family book! Thanks Tanya for letting us share your wonderful work!

Celebration Time!!






Yes, after we finished all of our holiday orders, it was celebration time for Cypress at the bowling alley! We were so happy that we had a great holiday season and although we were all exhausted, we had plenty of energy to do some bowling and eat alot of food! There were so many "high fives", hugs, laughs and great cheer. It was such great fun! Thank you for making our holiday season a great one, from all of us at Cypress!
