Today we're talking DIY letterpress with the L Letterpress.
how to DIY letterpress with the L Letterpress
How elegant are these letterpressed baby announcements!? They were created by Michelle and Julie Rasmussen.
First, Michelle and Julie created a custom letterpress printing plate and blind embossed the image onto Thick A7 Letterpress Paper.
Next, they took the letterpress ink roller and applied orange letterpress ink onto the edges of the announcements. We've found that Letterpress ink is the perfect blend of thickness and opacity, so it provides a nice colored edge without bleeding into the paper.
Add a smidge of bright designer tape and a stunning black and white photo, and presto! You've created the perfect way to welcome your newest little one into the world.
