Custom Vinyl and Heat Sublimation Now Available

July 8, 2019 By Desiree Colonna

Custom vinyl and heat sublimation have been two services our clients have begged us to offer. We are proud to say we can now offer these services to our clients all over the world. We can design and create custom gifts for our clients aged 0 to 100 years old!

It all began when our CEO, Desiree Colonna, started making shirts and onesies on the side for her new great-nephew, Ashton. Whenever Ashton wore the shirts, people would stop her niece, Krista and ask where she got them. Even her doctor asked about the custom vinyl shirts when she took Ashton in for his appointments.

Ashton was the perfect model and soon began appearing on Inkwell’s Instagram page. It seems as if custom vinyl design was the next chapter for our small family business. Our clients love our custom and personalized gifts.

What was really fun was to find out we could do custom vinyl and heat sublimation on leather, acrylic and other items you typically don’t think of.

Here is a leather baseball we created with heat sublimation vinyl for a groom’s wedding party. The baseballs were a huge hit and more orders are coming in daily.

Soon Desiree began experimenting with glitter, hologram and infusible ink vinyl on her own shirts. They’ve started to sell quickly both online and offline. There are no limits to what we can create for our clients! We can even take a hand drawn picture or signature and add it to any item.

The best part is we can take this show on the road and create custom gifts at events with precut custom vinyl designs and a heat press! The possibilities are limitless!

If you are interested in having custom designed t-shirts, mugs, coasters, baseballs, onesies, etc. created, please contact us for a quote. We give large discounts for multiple items. Our phone number is 833 INK WE11 or 933 465 9311. We’d love to create something wonderful and unique for your next occasion, gifting experience or event!

Bible Embossing Creates Touching Tribute for Canadian Hockey Team

June 11, 2018 By Desiree Colonna

Bible embossing can evoke memories and help create a special feeling, especially when someone sees their bible with their name and fallen team member’s logo on it. Recently, we were asked to help create a set of personalized bibles as a tribute for a Canadian hockey team in Swift Current to their sister team, many of whom were killed in a bus crash. The team chaplain, Nathan Wiebe, reached out to us and inquired about our bible embossing services. He wanted the sister team logo to be put on each bible as well as team members numbers, names and coaches names. We were honored to emboss these special bibles for the Canadian team.

The bibles were sent to us with the Chaplain’s logo already embossed on them.

We added each players number and name and the Bronco’s logo in the lower right hand corner. We created a special die with their logo and stamped it in gold foil.

Here is the story of why these emboss bibles were important in Nathan’s own words.

My role on the Swift Current Broncos is the team chaplain. With this being my second year serving in that role.

The Swift Current Broncos, in 1986 were in involved in a bus crash that tragically took the lives of 4 young men. It was an event that I was not alive for, but in my four years of living in this small town, I have noticed it’s a noticeable scar that has left a mark on many. The Swift Current Broncos wear a 4 leaf clover patch on the shoulders on their jerseys to remember those guys… so every time you come to the rink you’re reminded of those boys.

The Humbolt Broncos and the Swift Current Broncos play in two different leagues in Saskatchewan Canada. To say that they are in two different levels of hockey doesn’t matter. They obviously share the same name, and have been closely connected with players from either team running through each others organization … But, hockey is a brotherhood. It’s a small world. There’s friendships shared through guys on both teams, which makes a loss like this so much harder to deal with.

My position with the team is purely a background one with the guys on the team. I try and take them out for coffee or breakfast throughout the year to see how they are doing and encourage them. I played junior hockey for 4 years and know the feeling of leaving home at a young age to play hockey… by taking guys away from the rink and forgetting about the hockey aspect, and focusing on the life part of things is more or less my objective.

When the bus crash happened on April 6th, I had just gotten home from work and was about to put our two boys in the bath prior to an afternoon of playing outside. I got a text message from a friend that told me to pray for the Humbolt Broncos team because they were just in a serous bus crash. A couple hours passed. I didn’t put my phone down due to hitting refresh on news sites to check up on the boys and the team… my battery was just about dead when I got a call from my cousin who said he had heard there was 14 deaths. My cousin played college hockey with the head coach of the Humbolt Broncos and was talking with a bunch of old teammates who were close to the situation.

I decided to put my phone down after that. It was a numb feeling. I rode the bus from age 15-24 because of hockey… this is something you just don’t think would ever happen.

With my phone in my room, my wife came running back at me after she had heard it ringing and saw that the name was the coach of the Swift Current team. I picked up the phone and was asked if I could join the team in the morning to talk with the boys. The guys were in shock and a couple of the guys were especially struggling.

So, I left about 20 minutes later that night to the town where they were at…

The first person I called when I got the position of chaplain was actually the chaplain on the Humbolt Broncos team. He’s become a friend and someone who I bounce things off of from time to time. He was following the bus about 10 minutes behind when the crash happened… he saw what was left of the bus. He held the hands of guys that passed away. Cried with families at the hospital…. I encourage everyone to youtube “Pastor Sean Brandow – Humbolt Broncos Vigil Speech”. It’s powerful and needs to be watched by everyone.

I was approached by Sean’s (Humbolt Chaplain) old church that he used to pastor in our Swift Current area. They had talked to Sean wanting to help them in some way. Sean said, “Why don’t you help out the other Broncos? We are overwhelmed with support.” So the church asked if they could buy the team Bibles. Now, my philosophy as a Christian is to be an example first in foremost. My intention for the boys and team staff is not to push faith on them… but to support them with a loving Spirit. A Bible is something I hope they will pick up, but being as that it has been such an emotional run for this team, it’s very appropriate that this is something they get.

I have had the opportunity to be with he team before and after every game since the bus crash – praying before and after the games at the coaches request. The words that have come out of my mouth to those guys in those times are in that book. So I hope that one day they open up their Bible and read it. It was a privilege to walk along side these special guys during this time.

They just won a league championship and came up just short of a national championship. The joy that the championship brought those guys was something I’ll never forget! They were playing for a lot more this time around, with a few more Broncos from another team that were helping them along the way. Thank you, Desiree, for your help in creating these embossed bibles for our team.

Nathan, thank you for the honor of creating these tribute bibles for your team. Thank you also for the kind words you shared on Google about our company. We wish you and your team all the best in the future! — Desiree Colonna, CEO — Inkwell Designers

Logo Embossing Creates an Elegant Finish on Corporate Gifts

March 9, 2018 By Desiree Colonna

Logo embossing is one of our specialties. We can create a logo stamping die from your 300 dpi vector image and hand stamp almost any item you bring to us from anywhere you purchase it. We can handle real leather and faux leather (in most cases). However, we get the best results from real leather so please keep that in mind when choosing your items.

A great example of a recent logo embossing project is pictured below. We embossed this leather file folder below for retirees from Delta Community Credit Union.

We were able to take their electronic logo file, create and cut a die and emboss it on leather file folders purchased from a local office supply store in Atlanta. Delta Community corporate sent us their logo and we created the die pictured below.

We loaded the die in our machine, heated it up to 300 degrees and hand stamped each item for about 10 seconds. We were able to turn this project around quickly. Typical logo embossing project turnaround is 7 to 10 business days.

We offer both debossing with no color and embossing with gold, silver or virtually any color foil. Here are more examples of our embossing and debossing projects. We’ve worked with many companies including Delta Air Lines, Mount Holyoke College, Mazda and Coca-Cola.

We work with large and small companies with any size order from 1 to 300 items.

We also offer on site embossing at trade shows, conventions and private events all around the country where we monogram items already stamped with a corporate logo.

If you are interested in ordering a custom logo die and having your items hand stamped with care, please contact us directly at 833 465 9311. We can’t wait to get started!

Leather Third Anniversary Gift Custom Designed by Their Dog

November 19, 2017 By Desiree Colonna

Leather third anniversary gift giving can be so doggone interesting, we never know what kind of requests we’ll get next.

A few weeks ago, we were contacted by a dog named Rufus. Rufus wanted a gift his owners could enjoy forever and something very unique. Rufus wanted his paw prints forever stamped in leather for the rest of his doggie days and beyond.

Leather is the perfect third anniversary gift because it is durable and lasting. The 3rd wedding anniversary is often when a couple is aware of their durability of their relationship. That is why a leather third anniversary gift is the traditional gift for this celebration.

Rufus wanted his leather third anniversary gift to his owners to be very special and something they could enjoy every day. We used the same process we use for our corporate logo stamping clients. We decided on a type of leather which would look best. Then one of his owners (who was already in on the gift) made a copy of his paw prints on paper which was then magically transferred into an electronic file.

We then proceeded to cut the die out of steel and magnesium using the electronic file and a laser. We also hand cut the die itself once it is completed.

The die is then used in our embossing machine and stamped onto the leather. Below you can see the dog prints debossed with no color before we add the gold foil.

Gold foil is then added and stamped onto the leather piece and the final result is stunning! The leather piece was then added to a shadowbox frame.

We were very happy to know Rufus’ gift was well received by the couple and we hope it brings them a lot of joy when they see it in their home.

If you have a custom or unique logo or design you’d like stamped into leather, contact us at 833 465 9311. We’d love to bring your creative project to life. Dogs most welcome!
