This past summer I designed and letterpress printed an invitation for a customer in Spartanburg, SC featuring a pretty lace design.  We printed the invitations using one color to match her wedding, a dusty lilac color.  They came out so beautiful.  I was experimenting with a few other invitation designs recently and decided to try and print this same design in red.  I really like the results! I also included a pretty kraft paper tag.  Let me know what you think! This design is available for purchase, and can be printed in any color, though my Etsy shop here.

I LOVE Valentines Day!  I realize that it is a day built by commercialism (the greeting card industry), but if you ignore that, you can make it a fun day with your friends, family, and loved ones!  Why not give them something nice, but also inexpensive?  A letterpress greeting card is a good choice. Each card is a work of art created by hand on a vintage letterpress machine (used before we had digital printing!). The cards are printed on 100% cotton crane paper and come with a recycled kraft paper envelope. Blank inside for your message. You can purchase the cards in my Etsy shop here.
