Letterpress...

Have you heard of letterpressing? It's one of the hottest trends in stationary right now, and it's making its way into scrapbooking. It's a printing technique that involves printing words or images with ink while at the same time debosses your paper. Let me show you a little sample I found on Pinterest...

Isn't that pretty? So professional looking. I'm excited to see how it is going to change our way of scrapbooking!

Lifestyle Crafts has come out with a Letterpress kit that you can use at home with your personal die cutting machine. This will work with your existing Cuttlebug and Big Shot machines. Studio Calico will be getting these Letterpress systems in their shop soon, and HERE is a link to all of the fun new products at Studio Calico that go with the Letterpress system!

Now you can also learn how to incorporate Letterpress into your memory making with Tina Aszmus and contributors (including me!) in our upcoming September class...
Sign up today! While supplies last, you'll get a bonus class kit with a 4x3" Studio Calico letterpress plate, a pack of sample letterpress inks from Lifestyle Crafts and 4x6" letterpress paper in white and black. This kit will ship free no matter where you are. Visit the class page to read more about what you'll need to buy in addition to the class. Hope to see you there.
