Letterpress Cards

These are a few of the cards I have made with the letterpress (my new toy) from QK. If you want to find more info and great cards, hop over to Paula Pascuals blog. Great fun to use, very easy, though a little messy! Basically it gives me the opportunity to make lots of the same card quickly, with a lovely print/deboss. Mostly I've just been fiddling, and playing, but these are a few of the cards I've made with it. managed to find some base card that is a good colour match for the soft, thick letterpress paper.


And here's a close up - you can see the textured effect of the debossing on the printed bit


And the flower with the 'thanks' plate.




Think this one was my favourite - in the post to my dad now.


Strictly speaking, not a letterpress card, but I made up a batch similar to this and have only just got round to photographing it! (star and sentiment PTI, background 'flourish' Stampin up)

Love your cards. They really embody what I think letterpress is all about: timeless, elegant simplicity.
