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.

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 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.

It’s finally here! We’ve always wanted to give our fans and friends an inside peek into the daily lives of the Hello!Lucky team. This video has been in the making for awhile now, and after all the finishing touches were set in place, it’s ready for opening day! The super talented Ryan Khavari of Arkaypix spent a few days with us at the San Francisco studio and captured all the right vibes. The cheerful tunes written just for us are by the amazing bay area musician Roger Riedlbauer. We’re just thrilled with the way it turned out! Stay tuned on our Vimeo site for more videos to come. Enjoy!

We’ve been having so much fun designing new stationery as part of The Lab Event and with the festivities approaching this weekend, we’re finally able to see our handiwork come to life on press!

We’ve been lucky enough to collaborate with a few of Northern California’s most fabulous event companies, A Savvy Event and Bustle Events to create wedding vignettes based on various themes.  These mini wedding mock ups will showcase gorgeous linens, china, florals, desserts and of course – stationery.

This is just a sneak peek, to see more grab some tickets and hop up to Sonoma on Saturday, January 14th for an event that’s sure to inspire!  We’d love to see you there, so we’re giving away a pair of tickets to one lucky reader.  Leave a comment telling us why you would like, love, or absolutely NEED to be in attendance and we’ll pick a winner on Thursday!

Christmas came early to the San Francisco office! A large package arrived at our studio the other day, and who could it be from? None other than our friends Iain and Hamad over in London! We were squealing like kids when we found bunches of simple brown wrapped presents, each attached with a handwritten song lyric.

Hmm, what could it be?

Scarves for all!

Thanks Iain and Hamad! Warm winter greetings to you!

Now would be an appropriate time for an “Awweee” moment! Sabrina’s holiday cards just arrived off the press and they are cute as can be. Her twins Alex and James are getting so big, and we can really see the resemblances! We especially love how the boys’ stripes match perfectly with the winter and spring illustrations in Susy Jack’s Four Seasons accordion card.  The best part is that there’s no pressure to send them before Christmas because this card is perfect for any time of year!

Alex and James definitely make our list of Holiday Cuties this year!

The gorgeous photos were taken by the Sarah at Modern Kids Photography – more on this soon!

We’re seeing tons of holiday orders printed and shipped from the H!L studio this week! It’s definitely a peak time to order holiday cards, but there’s still time to personalize your own. One of our most popular designs this year is the Greetings from San Francisco photo card. We think the kelly green and red color combination is especially festive!

Santa stopped by our studio this morning, just to say hello!

Here’s a little sneak peek of some new letterpress Valentine’s Day cards on the press as we speak! This is just one of many new card designs making their big debut soon, so stay tuned!
