Baby Letterpress

Beginning April 01, I’ll be showcasing letterpress eye candy in the theme of baby. Tune in for baby announcements, shower invites, and other goodness that’s all about baby.

I already have several submissions ready to go but am still looking for more. If you’ve got some letterpressed baby stuff, give me a shout and I’ll include you in the showcase.

Updates for 3/28

Hi everyone! Apologies for the lack of updates. I’ve been buried under mounds of work.

I have a new addition to the gallery today:

Pick o’ The Day: Willow Wood

I’ve predicted embossed designs will be big for 2007/2008 weddings. I think a lot of long-time stationers remember the mass-produced cookie-cutter embossed invitations in the 1990s and cringe. Don’t fret! The re-emergence of embossing brings some clever, fresh designs that are beautiful and modern.

To kick off my onging feature of embossing, I bring you the lovely Antoinette design from Willow Wood. I chose it because it’s ornate yet delicate. Paired with a lush cardstock and bright, cheerful ink this embossed-border design is fresh and youthful.
