{Holiday 2007} Invited Ink

I’m loving a lot of the more delicate letterpress designs I’m seeing this year. A lovely example is this curly snowflake design from Sally Ann at Invited Ink.

Invited Ink also has an Etsy shop.

{Thank You} Showcase Roundup

Sorry, lettpressies! I was pulled away from the blog (again) and never finished up the Thank You showcase last month.

This is a post of redemption. I’m pulling together some of the goodness that I had hoped to showcase individually into this single post. Otherwise, it’s just not gonna get done in a timely fashion.

{Thank You} Pick of the Day: Hammerpress

I love – and I do mean LOVE – cards of unusual size. In my letterpress travels I don’t often see #10 envelope sized cards and it’s such a pity.
The fine folks at Hammerpress have a collection of flat notes (4″ x 9″) that, much to my glee, includes an awesome thank you card.

{Thank You} PotD: typeHigh

Today’s Thank You pick of the day comes from typeHigh’s etsy shop. I’m really in love with ornate, overlapping designs and I hope to see more of them for Fall 2007 and through 2008.

What caught my eye with this beauty (besides the lovely design) is that bright pop of purple. Unexpected and utterly wonderful!
