50XP020 Jasper

50XP020 Jasper from CCA Occasions

This design is called Jasper and is one of the best selling designs from CCA Occasions.  CCA have recently launched some different colourways in this design which will be featured on this site in the weeks to come.  The original Olive Green design shown here is my personal favourite.  A choice of text colours are available but the Olive Green text is best suited as it matches the thick satin ribbon perfectly. 

The wording is printed on a cream card which measures 14cm square.  This is quite compact so if you have a lot of words to fit on your invitation then it could look a little cramped.  The cream printed card is neatly mounted against a  heavyweight green pearlescent board by the way of two securing tabs top and bottom.   I was expecting some adhesive to be used as well because I felt it was important that an equal margin was required between the cream card and its mount.  This was not necessary however and I was surprised at how well these two tabs hold the card securley and neatly in place.

The layered effect is finished off beautifully with a translucent wrap with a pretty green floral print that would not look out of place in a Laura Ashley showroom.  The wrap opens at the front in a gatefold fashion and this is held in place with an opulent olive green 25mm double faced satin bow.  Don’t be afraid about tying the bow because the work has been done for you.  The bows come pre-tied and cut to the perfect length with a sticky peel strip on each length.  All you need to do is wrap the bow around the card and fix it in place with the peel and seal strip.

If you really want to set this design alight then I would recommend choosing the raised ink option which should only cost around an extra £15.  The Olive Green ink looks stunning when printed in the raised thermographic ink.  It may add an extra couple of days on to the delivery time but it is well worth the wait and extra cost.

When the finished card is assembled with its ribbon in place then your guests will probably slide the card out of the translucent wrap.  This seems a little surprising but for some reason when you have the card in your hand it seem more obvious than undoing the bow.  This is no bad thing because if your guests did undo the bow then they would ruin the look of the card because it would be very difficult to tie it back together so neatly.
