Gold Foil Holiday 2015 Cards Available Now!

Hello Letterpress Lovers! Just a quick post to let you know that the 2015 Sunlit Letterpress Holiday Card is now available for purchase on Etsy. This year I hand lettered "Let it Snow" in brush script with sumi ink along with some snowflake designs and ink blots, and transferred the design in gold foil to a thick white 120 lb. cover. The cards are available in sets of 4 or 10 and ship within 24 hrs. Limited quantities are available, so order early to avoid disappointment! Limited rush wholesale orders on this design are available – please contact the studio for details.

 

Copper Foil Happy Birthday Cards

I just love foil – don't you? There is something so special about gold, copper or silver foil against a nice piece of thick card stock. Foil printing is such a hot trend these days, and we thought it might be nice to mix it up with some of our other favorite trends (delicate calligraphy and a folksy floral art pattern). The background floral pattern was digitized from an acrylic painting I did earlier this year in black, white, and shades of grey (not 50 shades of grey...but close). The "happy birthday" lettering was printed in a copper foil and extends to the edges of the card.  You can buy these foil birthday cards in sets of 4 with envelopes in our Etsy shop.

The plants – well, those are from a bush outside our studio. I can't take any credit for them since they were here before we moved in. I love the little berries; although they do cause me a lot of grief, since I am constantly shooing my children away from them (they think they are blueberries), and I have just assumed they are poisonous. If you know what they are, please let me know :)

New Letterpress Greeting Cards | Etsy

Above are just a few photos of some of the new cards featured in our Etsy shop. The Joy cards are brand new, and I designed them with the intention that they would be sent to congratulate say a friend or loved one on a big life event, or letting them know the joy they bring into your life. The possibilities are really endless with this card, and it's a good one to have on hand for weddings, births, graduations, showers, and so on.

The Oh Baby! card is an oldie, but a goodie! We used to print them with lavender and blue ink against the grey baby elephant, but clients had asked us for a neutral option and so we went with a warm beige here. Sometimes unisex is the way to go with baby cards – especially when the gender of the baby is unknown!

Our Something Old, Something New card is also an oldie, just in a grey ink this time instead of blue. Again, the light grey is a nice neutral and against the beautiful soft white cotton stock has almost an aged kind of feel to it, like a family heirloom.

You can find these cards for purchase in our Etsy shop. Enjoy!

Hello. | Letterpress Greeting Card Set

If you follow us on Instagram you might have seen some hand lettering work I was doing a while back – and here are some photos of what those illustrations became. With a brush and some sumi ink I completed the lettering, and then created a digital version of my illustration and made it into a printing plate. We printed this "hello" card on Strathmore's Pure Cotton 110 lb. cover, and sets of 4 cards with kraft envelopes are available for purchase from our online shop. Buy a set for yourself or as a gift for someone special (...Christmas is coming...in 9 weeks...what?!).
