record store day

In support of our client, The Americana Music Association, we wanted to spread the word about Record Store Day. There aren't many great ones left, but luckily Nashville has Grimey's and Greenville has Horizon. Happy listening!

sneak peak

Our fingers were practically stuck together after a marathon afternoon of gluing. We spent the last 3 days assembling, trimming, stitching, stamping,stuffing, and wrapping… but we're not quite finished. We've been working on a wedding invitation that required a good bit of hand work. Luckily we got some incredible days outside that made the smell of spray glue tolerable. And all that work is always worth a happy bride in the end!

bump smitten

Some Friday  fun… Tenn Hens is featured on Bump Smitten, an adorable baby blog, this week. They highlight real baby showers and have loads of cute ideas. Very cute, especially if there's a bun in the oven.

love stamps

We're sort of obsessed with stamps around here. All the different colors, special editions, old & new. I know, I know, they're constantly going up in price, but you still won't catch us buying those liberty bells. Nope, we love mixing them up and finishing an envelope with the perfect little piece of art.

Needless to say, we're really excited about these Garden Stamps by José Ortega coming out in May. Brides are going to be all over these and I know we'll be snapping up quite a few for some lucky projects.

americana groove

Hard to believe, but it's about that time again. We're gearing up for another year of working with the Americana Music Association. This year we are shaking up the look of their materials quite a bit with a retro/mod design. Here's just a peak at what we're working on.

jarrard work

Some of Tenn Hens very first clients are still with us today & we think that's pretty cool. It makes for an easy relationship because you know how one another works and things seem to cluck along seamlessly. Jarrard, Phillips, Cate, & Hancock is a group we partnered with early on and we continue to help them with various marketing/design needs. Here's just a sampling of projects we've been busy creating for them.

chalkboard art

Check out these chalkboard graphics. Amazing right?? The woman behind them, Dana Tanamachi, is a graphic designer / custom chalk letterer. Love the simple black & white, the fonts, just all of it.

southern living weddings

We've been waiting and waiting to share the news, but Tenn Hens work is featured in Southern Living Weddings edition!!!!! We got a call a few months ago from someone at the magazine who'd found our blog. We didn't think too much of it until they asked us for samples of our work. I packaged them up and sent off the package with fingers tightly crossed. Sure enough they wanted to feature Bonnie's wedding invitation that we designed in '08. We are beyond thrilled to be included in such a beautiful publication.

And just in time for wedding season. If you're interested in any custom design work, please contact us for more information.  info@tennhens.com / 615.791.7083

gigi's cupcakes

Tenn Hens designed the branding and packaging for Gigi's Cupcakes. We created a new logo, color palette, and cupcake box designs. Sure makes you want a taste of something sweet, huh?! Their stores are popping up all over the place as their business expands.

Over the holidays we designed quite a few holiday cards, but admittedly we're a little partial to this particular card. Must be the precious baby!

some new work

Tis the season again (see last year)… so Tenn Hens assisted PharmMD with their annual holiday card. A clever play off the logo and the letterpress printing really made it a special piece for folks to receive in the mail.




…and below is a new brochure we designed. Churches Together is on a mission of helping those in need in Africa through church-led holistic ministries. The creative simply delivers their message while showcasing the beautifully shot images.

americana music is a risin'

The Americana Music Association has been a client of ours for the last 5 years and it's a joy to work with such a creative group. Plus the genre "Americana" has been on the rise and this years event in Nashville did not disappoint. Their award show represented folks like Robert Plant, John Mellencamp, Roseanne Cash, and Ryan Bingham. Pretty darn cool! Music city is a lucky place to be.

We created everything from posters, signage, and ads to a book for the festival.

up up and away

Currier grew up in downtown Franklin, Tennessee. Back when it was just a simple little town with not a lot going on. Well, today, it's a hot spot for shopping and dining. Even the old theater is being restored. The Heritage Foundation is one of the organizations to thank for it's success. They're a non-profit dedicated to protecting and preserving the historic resources in Franklin.

Their largest fundraiser is the Heritage Ball and they asked us to design this years program. H3 did the event design and created an "up up and away" theme. We were happy to help with such a special evening and wish the folks at Heritage much continued success.

brickyard bbq

Cold beer & smokey barbecue on a hot summer night with friends, makes for a good party. This one was particularly special as it was an engagement party. We incorporated a brick wall illustration to play off the family brick-making business. And what's a barbecue without a pig? Guests even got to take a little secret family sauce home to taste. Such a cute way to kick off the nuptials! …see more on Oh So Beautiful Paper
