Do you remember going off to college as a young adult? I do - in fact, every September I seem to have the same nightmare where I am for some reason sent back to university and can't find any of my classes on campus and get Fs on all my papers. I'm not sure what that says about my subconscious, but it is usually so real that I wake up wondering WTH just happened!
So I was thinking - what would make a new college student, away from home, missing family and friends, wondering if anyone misses her, feel better? How about a gift that comes by snail mail at the beginning of every month, full of letterpress goodness?
Here is our gift to the millions suffering from "off to the real world" anxiety! It's OFF TO SCHOOL 2013!
Monthly Letterpress Subscription - 8 Months - Starts September 2013
*PERFECT FOR COLLEGE STUDENTS HEADED AWAY FROM HOME!*
Letterpress treats delivered monthly to your special student's (snail) mailbox at college!
Buy a subscription for your college student to our Letterpress Lovers Club - a "letterpress-of-the month" club where the recipient will receive a unique letterpress stationery item once a month for the duration of their membership.
Why they'll love it:
- a monthly reminder that you are thinking about them!
- a beautiful gift that is different every month!
- something to look forward to at the mail center other than a cell phone bill!
- monthly stationery products that encourage them to stay in touch!
Why you'll love it:
- a monthly reminder that you are thinking about them!
- cheaper shipping than a care package box!
- your student will have no more excuses for not sending a card to Granny on her birthday!
- healthier than a care package full of chocolate and boxes of mac n' cheese!
- using their stationery will keep them busy and far away from kegstands and freshman toga parties! (ok, probably not...but we can hope?)
Each month the mailout is different - and will include an assortment of stationery items such as notecard or greeting card sets, art prints, gift tags, letterpress printed packaging items, seasonal stationery pieces, etc.
(A limited number of 8-month memberships are for sale. Please also see our 3-month, 6-month, or 12-month membership listings if interested in a shorter or longer membership period.)
ETSY COUPON CODE:
For 10% off your subscription use code "OFF2SCHOOL"
Expires August 31, 2013
Your student's first shipment will be sent September 1, 2013. Subsequent mailings are sent at the beginning of each month.
***Please be sure to specify the student's mailing address in the "NOTES TO SELLER". A membership card will be sent noting your name as the sender of the membership gift.***
Your special student will have something to look forward to in the mail every month, and will be the envy of her friends after receiving her monthly mailing!
(Photos shown above are examples of our previous mailings, and are not necessarily the items that will be mailed).
Please contact us with any questions about the Club or how to join. We're happy to help!
Hello friends!
Although I am still taking a health-issue related break from printing, I wanted to let you know that we still have memberships in the Letterpress Lovers Club available for puchase in our Etsy shop.
What is the LLC? Letterpress treats delivered monthly to your mailbox!
Sign your Mom up for our Letterpress Lovers Club - a "letterpress-of-the month" club where the recipient will receive a unique letterpress stationery item once a month for the duration of their membership.
Each month the item will be different - a fun surprise in your mailbox! - and will include an assortment of stationery items such as notecard or greeting card sets, art prints, gift tags, letterpress printed packaging items, seasonal stationery pieces, etc.
A limited number of 12-month memberships are for sale. Please also see our 3-month and 6-month membership listings if interested in a shorter membership period.
Your first month will ship at the beginning of the next month after purchase (i.e. buy in May and your first mailing will ship at the beginning of June). Mailings are sent at the beginning of the month.
**Indicate that your purchase is for Mother's Day and give us Mom's email, and we will send them a note on Mother's Day explaining the club and the membership you've selected from them.**
We look forward to adding your Mom (or grandmother, step-mother, aunt, friend, or other special person) to our club membership list : ) If you have any questions about the LLC, please post in the comments or email/phone the studio for more information.
It's that time of year again...well, sort of. I know that in the US that Thanksgiving hasn't taken place yet, but in Canada it has, and even though I hate pushing a holiday too early, the fact is that our studio will be closed at the beginning of December. So...if you want to get your hands on some letterpress goodness before Christmas it will have to happen soon in order to arrive in time for the holidays :)
This year has been pretty busy on a work and on a personal level (with a two-year-old running around), and this has left me with less time for personal design projects like holiday cards. This year we only have one new letterpress holiday card available for purchase, and a few sets left over from last year's "peace and joy" batch of cards.
You can purchase the new "happy holidays" letterpress card here in our Etsy shop.
And the "peace and joy" letterpress cards here in our Etsy shop.

Just a quick note for all of our clients, and especially our Letterpress Lovers Club members, to let you know that due to the current Canada Post strike, delivery of some packages sent in June may be delayed. Unfortunately this includes the June 2011 Letterpress Lovers Club mailing - some members in the US and Canada have received their packages, and some have not. The only reason I can fathom for this (since the packages were shipped at the beginning of the month) is that some unfortunately hit CP processing facilities when the rolling strikes started and thus have been sitting unmoved until now.
To read more about the CP strike, please visit: http://clients.infopost.ca/en/
According to the CP website, operations will resume this Monday (tomorrow). This should mean that July's LLC mailing (which will be shipped at the beginning of the month) won't have any problems with delivery. This being said, if you are concerned about receiving your mailing, we can offer courier delivery via Purolator Courier or FedEx at an additional fee.
Wedding, personal stationery, and corporate stationery clients can also opt to have us ship out your orders via Purolator Courier or FedEx if you are concerned about delivery times or future CP strike issues. Please let us know if you prefer to use these other carriers (Purolator is slightly more expensive than CP, and FedEx is generally much more expensive than both CP and Purolator).
We apologize for any inconvenience or disruption to the receipt of your LLC mailings. Unfortunately this is an issue beyond our control - but we hope that as of Monday will no longer be a cause for concern.
Now if only I could get CP to send the cheque for the insurance money they owe us for the damage of a client's art prints from December 2010...it was supposed to be coming "in two days", but that was over a month ago...sigh...
We have put together a 10% off Mother's Day promotion for Poppytalk readers for our Letterpress Lovers Club - the "letterpress-of-the-month" club that we started a while back.
Each LLC member receives a unique letterpress stationery item once a month for the duration of their membership. Three and six month subscriptions are available for purchase. Each month the item(s) are different and include an assortment of stationery items such as notecard or greeting card sets, art prints, gift tags, letterpress packaging items, seasonal stationery pieces, and more.
When a membership is purchased for someone else (i.e. Mom or other) as a gift, a card will be sent with each monthly mailing noting the sender's name.
(You can use the 10% discount for yourself too - it does not have to be a gift for someone else.)
Memberships can be purchased in our Etsy shop (sunlitletterpress.etsy.com) or via the following URLs:
3 Month Membership (regular price - $37)
http://www.etsy.com/listing/58899558/letterpress-lovers-club-membership-3
6 Month Membership (regular price - $73)
http://www.etsy.com/listing/50949069/letterpress-lovers-club-membership-6
Buyers will need to enter "POPPYMOM" in the Etsy "Notes to Seller" and we will re-invoice each order with the 10% deducted.
This offer expires at the end of the day on May 8th, 2011.
