Letterpress birthday cards

10Jan

New for 2012! I designed and letterpress printed birthday cards — because everyone has a birthday and deserves something special. I just love the bright and cheery look, very happy how the sunshine yellow turned out. It’s matched with the baby blue envelope and blank on the inside.

Available on my Etsy shop here! I currently am only selling single cards, but do you want this in a six pack? I’m not sure if people like to buy a pack so they’re ready for birthdays or what. Just let me know what you want and I can make a listing for a six pack.

Thanks!

16Nov

Thank you so much for the overwhelming response here and on Facebook about the launch of Bears Eat Berries. It means the world!

I’ve been printing up a storm lately, using lots of green and red (getting ready!)…

…and gold. (yes, there is a piece of glass between the ink and my wooden table…)

Busy at the press

09Nov

It’s been busy with the press lately! I’m trying to get the holiday cards up and running and to reveal my newest announcement soon.

Another little sneak peek of holiday cards? Well, I’m a tease. Sorry. But I promise you I will show you everything really soon.

My Save the Dates

03Oct

Finally! These Save the Dates that I designed and letterpress printed took a lot of time and effort since I did them on my tabletop Sigwalt press. After printing, I stitched the belly band on either side with light lavender thread. Matching them with kraft brown envelopes with our return address letterpress printed, these invites set the tone for the wedding.

Enjoy!

Silver & gold letterpress wedding invite

28Sep

I recently had the opportunity to design and letterpress print wedding invitations for a super great couple, Melissa & Jason. The top design element of the piece was inspired by the belt on Melissa’s gown, a beautiful way to tie everything together. With silver and gold metallic inks and extra thick paper, this oversize invitation brought out a beautiful elegance which I am sure translated into the rest of their wedding.

To see the rest of the detailed photos of the invitation set, check them out on my Flickr page!

Pomegrante card

20Sep

I designed and letterpress printed a special one-of-a-kind card set for my dear friend‘s birthday recently (although I was embarrassingly late). Printed on kraft paper with rubine red ink and a touch of yellow. A sprig of pomegranate for my pomegranate friend, designed in the influence of woodblock or linoleum cut block printing. Juicy!

PS. I saw a real pomegranate tree in Croatia during my honeymoon for the first time!

Indian Block Printing

28Jun

Indian block printing. Beautiful, amazing. I can’t believe the intricacy that they achieve in the patterns with such a simple tool and method. Watch it and you’ll fall in love.
