Put a bird on it! {letterpress}

Here are some new bird cards we printed recently. They are both in the more petite A1 or 4-Bar size (3.5 x 5 inches.) They are printed on thick 100% reclaimed cotton paper. We got a great impression on these cards - nice and deep. I just love how the highlight on the balloon turned out! For the "put a bird on it" reference, see this hilarious video of Portlandia.

Longboard Birthday Card

We finally got around to printing our new surfing birthday card yesterday. This one is a longboarder, like us - well, I suppose Kevin can ride anything, but I love my longboard! It was a fun day in the print shop and left us just enough time to hit Beacon's for an evening surf. I've been so excited about this card because it's on this awesome 140# kraft card stock from French Paper. It's our first #10-sized flat note card - long and skinny. It has plenty of room for a message on the back and comes with a kraft paper envelope. All in a days work.

Happy Birthday, Chuck!

Tomorrow is my father-in-law's birthday. Here is a fun birthday card we printed in his honor. Notice how the "t" and "h" turn into birthday candles and how the design continues on the back. (Yes, I think I'm clever.) We had a much easier time getting the registration lined up for this card than I expected. I also included a picture of the photo polymer plate on the boxcar base all locked up and ready to go. The plate is clear enough to see through which makes registration much easier. Happy Birthday, Chuck, and take it easy blowing out all those candles!
