I La La LOVE this Letterpress tool by LifeStyle Crafts. We have been working on it for ages and it's finally here. Seriously, I have always loved the classy, high quality, unique look of letterpressed cards, but to do it yourself costs literally thousands of dollars and it's a huge mess. I love how simple the L Letterpress is and you can buy everything you need to get started including an Epic die cutting tool for $150. Pretty amazing, huh! Here's how it works:
Step 1: Place printing plate on clear lid of L Letterpress tool. There are currently 15 printing plate sets with fantastic designs that can be mixed and matched to create an unlimited number of projects!
Step 2: Use the ink brayer to ink the printing plate. There are currently 20 ink colors available which can also be mixed to create additional custom colors!
Step 3: Place paper on the base of the tool. The L Letterpress paper is specifically designed for the L Letterpress tool to achieve that fantastic impression and soft texture.
Step 4: Close the lid of the L Letterpress tool and roll through the Epic Six tool to simultaneously print and deboss your image.
I made all these fun projects with a prototype. (Have I ever mentioned how much I love my job?) This is definitley my new favorite thing. Now all the cards I give are letterpressed. I find myself making cookies to give to people, just so I can put a cute letterpressed tag on top... you might even say, the Letterpress makes me want to be a better person. :) I can't wait to host something where I can make letterpressed invitations and place settings and thank you treats. Here are some samples. Enjoy.

Amazing Amy! These are great! Did you make them all??
Amy, holy cow... I haven't even been on here for months. Obviously, I haven't been on my own for that long either. Love all of these. I'm sure you bought a letterpress for yourself! Are you sad you are not using it at your new job?
Oh, this is really Lisa.
