Bright & Floral | Spring Letterpress Wedding Stationery

Spring has not quite sprung around these parts, but we're getting close! Above and below are photos of a custom letterpress wedding invitation suite inspired by Spring colors like bright yellows, pinks, and peach. You can find other photos of our stationery pieces in the Spring/Summer issue of Wedding Bells Magazine.

I wanted to share these photos with you to show that we do so much more around here than print letterpress invitations - we also print letterpress envelopes, provide envelope liners, letterpress place cards, letterpress name tags, letterpress thank you notes, letterpress coasters, and the list goes on. We also stock and provide a wide variety of ribbons, twine, lace, custom envelopments, invitation boxes, wrapping and addressing services, and embellishments like jewel appliqués and diamond mesh ribbon for your custom wedding stationery. Whatever your vision for your wedding stationery may be, we can make it happen!

 

It's been a long time coming, and we are finally getting started on revamping our Vancouver letterpress website, and we're so excited to make it easier to use, and easier to find the information you need. If there is anything in particular you would like to see on the new site, let us know - we want to cover all the bases!

Thanks again for following us on our adventures in letterpress! Have a great weekend!

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.

If you'd like to see some progress and behind the scenes photos for these letterpress holiday cards, check out our letterpress Instagram account and follow us!

A New Website and A New Look...

It has taken me a couple of weeks, but the Sunlit Letterpress website is officially ready for public viewing. There are still a few elements I'd like to add, including pricing information, order forms, and an e-commerce feature, but for now it will do. Feel free to take a look...

I've decided to update the look of the blog a tiny bit as well, to match the new website.

Now I have some custom printing to finish, so off I go. It is an ugly day here in Vancouver, snow and rain. It's a good day to be inside and get creative.

Happy letterpressing!
