Happy Friday and Happy July! The summer is full swing, hope you have some fun plans this 4th of July weekend… :)

Which one is your favorite? :)

and Valentine’s Day is around the corner, do you have a special card for this year yet? I printed some new greeting cards, I’ve been meaning to share… It’s a houndstooth card with a little twist :)

Some shots from the studio…

Adjusting the impression and the placement:

and print 1 st color — of course the classic black :)

Placing the second plate with red ink… (for version #1)

And voila! Do you get it?! :) You will, when you open the card….

and here are the final products…

Houndstooth Card — I love you.

There is a message inside of the card… :)

Houndstooth Card — Best Friends Forever. For your BFF! :)

Houndstooth Card — I miss you.

Hope you like them! :)

I printed the HELLO print in new colors…

Wood type set and paper placement adjusted:

1st new color…

Also, Lace Heart Letterpress print in black is back in stock, 4×6 size this time :)

SMILE to you!!

and yes, I listed more Live What You Love posters and I’m talking about the vintage wooden hangers :)

What you’ll get is a blank letterpressed Christmas tree.

and you can put your name after you decorate it as it is your masterpiece.

The card is 5″ x 7″ and it fits in 5″ x 7″ US standard frame so you can decorate it on your wall, too!

If you have kids, they can decorate one, sign and send it to your family — that would be the cutest Christmas card ever :)

Let me know if you have any other ideas, I’d love to hear!

And it is available right here.

Some photos from the studio…
