Ciara Mae — business cards
Ciara Mae's personal logo is her name in monoline script. Debossed then foiled in rose gold, it is the only element on the front.
Two rules
- 01Deboss first, then foil. Blind debossed the script, then registered the rose gold foil into the impression. The foil sits below the surface, not on it.
- 02Blush flood behind rose gold. A pale blush flood, well under the foil in chroma, so the metal is the only saturated thing on the card.
The brief
Personal business card 3.5×2 in on 32pt bright white cotton: "Ciara Mae" in a hand-lettered monoline script as a personal logo, blind debossed and then hit with rose gold foil; "Graphic Designer" in small caps beneath; back in a solid Pantone blush flood with contacts in white.

Same paper, foil and finish, locked in — nothing of Ciara Mae's artwork comes with it.
Questions
- What is the Ciara Mae business cards printed on?
- 32pt bright white cotton, Rose gold hot foil, Blind deboss, Pantone blush flood. Every line of that spec is what actually ran, not a proposal.
- Why deboss first, then foil?
- Foiling into a flat sheet gives shine but no depth; debossing after foil crushes the leaf. Blind debossed the script, then registered the rose gold foil into the impression. The foil sits below the surface, not on it.
- Can Print Peppermint print this specification again?
- Yes. The materials on this page are live registry items, and the Studio link opens with the same paper, foil and finish locked in for your own artwork.
