Bluepepper Designs

We’re just putting the finishing touches to the route map for the Nightingale Gemstone Midnight Walk this weekend. After weeks of preparation by the hospice staff the day has nearly arrived. Over 500 women are going to be walking to raise money for Florence Nightingale Hospice Charity on Saturday. Hopefully the weather will stay dry!

Bluepepper Designs are proud to be supporting this event and wish everyone good luck on the night. Our own Lorraine is taking part so feel free to say hello if you are there on the night!

We have just produced a new Product Guide leaflet. This handy sized leaflet gives a brief description of the products we offer, plus shows a couple of examples of work. We are hoping that this will help customers to choose the product that suits them best.

If you would like a copy of leaflet please drop us an email on: info@bpdesigns.co.uk or call us on 01296 424699. Alternatively please call into our town centre office at 8 Temple Square, Aylesbury.

We have just started work on our new website. We have been planning to do this for a while but you always leave your own work until last! We are planning to mail out a postcard to announce when it is finished and will have some special offers to celebrate the launch. Watch this space…

Launch of the Midnight Walk in Friars Square, Aylesbury on 24th April 2010

Bluepepper Designs are pleased to be supporting Florence Nightingale Hospice with their first ladies only sponsored walk in Aylesbury. Following the Gemstone Cycle Paths the walk is taking place on Saturday 17th July 2010 at midnight and is either 6 or 12 miles depending on how fit you are feeling! There are 500 places to fill and registration is £15.00.

We have sponsored the walker labels as well as producing artwork for banners and t-shirts and printing the registration forms.

If you would like more information on the walk please contact Lindsey or Karen at Florence Nightingale Hospice Charity on 01296 429975 or see www.fnhospice.org.uk

Please note:

We will be closed on Friday 2nd and Monday 5th April 2010.

May we wish all our customers a Happy Easter.

This is the second of 3 simple entries explaining differences in colour printing.

Four colour

This uses four inks in varying amounts in order to produce a wide range of colours. It is ideal for reproducing photographic images or other material with complex colour combinations. Due to the mixing of the four inks it is not always highly accurate for individual specific colours.

As a Corporate Sponsor we were delighted last week to be invited to the opening of Labels, the new dress agency in Old Amersham. This is a new venture for Florence Nightingale Hospice which gives you the chance to sell your designer clothes with 50% of the sale price to you and 50% to the charity.

In additional to selling high quality second hand products the shop also carries a range of brand new end of season stock from independent retailers.

The shop was officially opened at 11.00am on Friday by Alison, the Countess of Buckinghamshire who cut the ribbon to let the first customers in. Bluepepper’s Lorraine made the first purchase of the day – a new handbag.

Bluepepper Designs has produced swing tickets for use as price tags and business cards for the shop to fit in with their decor and logo.

More details about the shop can be found at Florence Nightingale Hospice website.

This is the first of 3 simple entries explaining differences in colour printing.

Single colour
Most commonly this refers to black ink, but can also be any other individual colour. A single colour design can include tints of the selected colour to give variety to the finished product. Single colour printing can be very cost-effective and with a good design can still have a great deal of impact.

We were very proud recently to produce a 100 page recipe book for Florence Nightingale Hospice.

The book consisted of recipes supplied by staff and friends of the Hospice, plus some celebrities’ favourite recipes.

We sponsored the design and artwork and initially printed 200 books which are being sold to raise money for the Hospice.

They are currently selling like hot cakes!
