This week On Press are samples of the Julia Rothman wedding design for Hello!Lucky: Tie the Knot. James is printing the beautiful three-color invitations. Watch him preparing the guides on his press to ensure consistent registration, cleaning between each color run, and applying ink to the rollers for distribution.
We admit it, one of our latest obsessions is Instagram. We’re having a lot of fun taking little breaks in our day and posting some studio shots to this highly addictive app. Do you use Instagram? We’d love to see what you’re posting so follow us or tell us your account name in the comments! We’re @helloluckycards – nice and simple!

We’re anxiously awaiting the android version so more of our friends and studio mates can join in on the fun.
We love crafting up a storm around here and Valentine’s Day offers a great excuse for us to pull out all of the paper, washi tape, heart stamps, and other craft supplies we have laying around the studio. We were joined by the fabulous ladies from Alison Events and our new friend, wedding photographer Allan Zepeda. Here are a few shots from the crafting extravaganza!
Lia’s valentine matched her outfit.

The three winners from last week are (drum roll, please): Katie, Samantha and Christina! We’ll contact you next week to arrange sending your Spring Chicken card.
Design: Nuts for You
Artist: Eunice Moyle
Inspiration: We all get a little nutty when it comes to Valentine design!
Who to send it to: Someone you makes you feel a little squirrely, or someone who’s cute and fuzzy and knows that squirrels just want to have fun.
Ideas we scrapped in favor of this one: The chipmunk version’s cheeks were a little unflattering, the mouse version was a little mousy, the vole was too vole-uptuous and the mole was, well, you know.
Favorite detail: Love the handmade heart turtleneck.
Why letterpress? How else could that sweater look so neatly pressed?

This week on press is the new Susy Jack* design for Hello!Lucky: Cross Stitch. Here is a video of Hello!Lucky’s printer, James, positioning the polymer plate, setting up the press, and printing samples of the new design.
This design will be available on the site soon!
This week on Pinterest I’ve been mooning over Kris Knight’s paintings – the palette, the ethereal clarity – so mesmerizing! I have been generally loving delicate, organic details like this amazing mushroom cake by Erica O’Brien (gorgeous photo by Elizabeth Messina) and the muted creamy colors blended with neutrals in this Parisian rooftop. Also loving florals by Saipua, so painterly, loose and natural! This ring by Eldel Precious, delicate champagne flutes from Joy de Vivre, gorgeous Emannuelle Junqueira dress and, apropos of nothing, Strictly No Elephants which amuses me.

Hello all you lucky folks out there! This is the 50th (!) edition of our Lucky Friday Giveaway. Each Friday we feature one of our letterpress greeting cards.

The three winners from last week are (drum roll, please): Stephy-Lou, Phoebe and Lauren C! We’ll contact you next week to arrange sending your Biggest Fan card!
Design: Spring Chicken
Artist: Eunice Moyle
Inspiration: We trimmed our quills and made a lot of chicken scratch before we hatched this one.
Who to send it to: Even though Punxsutawney Phil disagreed yesterday— send it to the wise bird who knows spring is just around the corner, and that we’re all in the full bloom of our youth.
Ideas we scrapped in favor of this one: Another poultry card featuring a turkey— “Wattle I Do Without You?”— we agreed was little too wistful and weird. And the “I’m Too Chicken to Say I Love You,” was a bit too heavy to get off the ground.
Favorite detail: Chickens always look surprised, don’t they?
Why letterpress? All the better for the fine feathers and flourishes.

This week for on press we made a video giving you a behind-the-scenes look at our Heidelberg windmills in operation. Our talented printer, Max, is printing the platonic love greeting: “Best Mate.” It was designed by Esther Aarts for Hello!Lucky.
