Letterpress Baby Shower Invites

I designed these cards a few months ago, and finally got the time to letterpress.  They were done on Crane Lettra Fluorescent 110 lb paper.  I also used a creasing matrix on the press, which was pretty easy to do.  The cards were sewn together at the top, thanks Tricia for you help on this.  I did run into some issues with having it not ink in certain areas, so there was a lot of make ready to do beforehand. I ran into some headaches with this project, but overall am very happy with the outcome.

Katie Kirk and her sweet illustrations.

My friend’s wife Katie Kirk from Eight Hour Day created this really nice illustration, the letterpress was done by Studio On Fire. Some really nice work. Please check out her Etsy shop for other great prints.
