Do you still have a few people on your holiday list that you are struggling to find the perfect gift for? (I have yet to even start my Christmas shopping – I am so behind this year!) If there is someone on your list that loves stationery, or has a strong affection for letterpress, or maybe just enjoys sending snail mail or the art of letter writing, then a gift subscription in the Sunlit Letterpress Letterpress Lovers Club might just be your answer!

So just what is this Letterpress Lovers Club? It's letterpress treats delivered monthly to your mailbox! A letterpress stationery-of-the month club where the recipient receives unique letterpress stationery items once a month for the duration of their membership (3, 6, or 12-month memberships available).

Each month the items are different and includes an assortment of stationery such as note cards or greeting card sets, art prints, gift tags, letterpress printed packaging items, seasonal stationery pieces, and more. Now your gift recipient will always have cards on hand for special occasions and they will be reminded of your thoughtfulness every month when their mailing arrives. A gift membership makes a lovely high-end, handcrafted, multipurpose gift.

This letterpress stationery-of-the-month club is fun, exciting, and a gift that brings joy every four weeks!

{ WHY OUR LETTERPRESS SUBSCRIPTION CLUB? }

Our stationery is designed and printed in-house (we don't farm out our printing!) using the highest-quality materials with experienced craftsmanship. Our mailings are not seconds, flawed pieces or remnants – they are all made for the Letterpress Lovers Club. Each member has their own record of mailings, so you will never receive the same item twice during your membership.

The Sunlit Letterpress Letterpress Lovers Club comes in three subscription lengths:

Are you trying to find the perfect custom holiday gift for a friend, relative, or client that is truly special? A person who is there for you when you need them most, or the client that brought you most of your business this year? Personalized note cards also make a great gift for children – one less toy to clutter the house, and you can get them into the habit of writing thank you notes (our Bunting design was designed with kids in mind).

Customized letterpress notecards are a thoughtful gift that everyone can use, and the recipient will remember you every time they take out their signature Sunlit Letterpress custom stationery box to write a new note (perhaps a note to you to thank them for their stationery!).

Our ready-to-wear (pre-designed) notecards are available in 15 different designs and in 12 different ink colors. Customize the cards with your name or your gift recipient's name, initials, or other short text, your favorite ink color, and finishing options (rounded or straight corners).

Order your custom letterpress note cards in sets of 25, 50, or 100. Cards are a flat (unfolded) standard A2 size (5.5”w x 4.25”h) and are printed in one color on ultra luxurious white 140 lb. French Paper cover stock. Each order also includes A2 kraft brown envelopes (25, 50, or 100 depending on order size). Your notecards will be beautifully wrapped with our signature packaging in a natural kraft box ready for gift giving.

Your order will be printed and shipped within 2 weeks of receipt of final proof sign-off. Rush turnaround is available at an additional charge – please inquire for more details.

p.s. Unlike our 100% custom letterpress note card offerings, we are able to keep costs lower for these ready-to-wear cards because they are pre-designed, only offered in certain quantities that minimize costs, and are only available in a smaller range of ink colors. If none of the design options meet your specific needs, please let us know and we will be happy to provide an estimate for a 100% custom option just for you – with a unique design, in the quantities you need, with additional finishing and envelope options, and in any ink color you choose. For more information, please contact the studio.

Holiday 2013 | Letterpress Holiday Card Release

Hello Letterpress Lovers!

I'm not a huge fan of how early so many retailers start pushing the holiday season these days (hello Costco with Christmas decorations for sale in September!), but I figure mid-November is acceptable for introducing our letterpress Christmas/holiday card for this year. So, here it is – the 2013 Joy & Sparkle card – now available for sale in the Sunlit Letterpress online letterpress shop.

Although I love the look of hot foil, I wanted more of a sparkle effect for these holiday letterpress cards. "Wishing you holiday joy and sparkle" text is letterpress printed on luxurious thick 110 lb. Crane Lettra Pearl White cover stock in light pink and light green. Some of the larger green confetti dots have been embellished with glitter for extra sparkle. Includes Crane Lettra Pearl White envelopes for mailing. Buy a set for yourself or as a gift set for someone special.

{ DETAILS }

 - includes 5 note cards and 5 envelopes
- cards measure 5" wide by 3.5" tall (4Bar)
- letterpress printed in pink and green ink
- printed on ultra-luxe Pearl White Crane Lettra cover
- Pearl white envelopes
- inside of cards are blank for your own message
- printed using our vintage Chandler & Price press (circa 1900)

Last year we didn't print any holiday cards since our youngest had just been born two months prior to the holidays, and I missed designing and printing them. We have limited quantities this year and usually sell out of our yearly design, so purchase early to avoid disappointment. We also have coordinating gift tags with "sparkle & joy" coming soon to the letterpress shop.
