Letterpress Business Cards

As I am doing my first craft fayre 'Art In The Park' in Leek next month. I thought it would be a good idea to try and promote my website while I'm there. I've decided to keep my design clean and simple as well as using a quality card. I wanted to experiment more with the text that I have.

I have left enough space incase I decide to add a phone number, email or a pattern.

Letterpress Scooter Card

I have been busy doing some designs for the boys. This card will be ideal for any scooter enthusiast as well as being perfect for birthday or even Father's Day. The card below is available to buy at http://sweetpea-design.co.uk

Letterpress Printing - Experimenting

I've been Experimenting with my letterpress using just metal type. Here are some of the results.

Tomorrow I will hopefully have some designs using my polymer plates once I have backed them onto a base. It is very restricting trying to design using just type so I hope my designs get more interesting once I get the hang of using polymer plates.

Happy Birthday Card - Experimentation

I'm in the process of developing my own greeting card range. I'm using blind embossing and letterpress for my designs. I just love the look and feel of blind embossed images. Heres an example of a prototype with more designs coming soon.

Letterpress Printing

Just lately I have become very interested in letterpress printing. I love the idea of letterpress artwork and I'm very interested in creating my own designs using this method.

I have come across some brilliant designs, here are some of my favorite examples

Self-promotional design. The coasters were letterpress printed on 60 point Pulp Board stock.
