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.
Anna B.’s sweet dog silhouette valentine.
Alyssa from Alison Events made a sweet paper couple.

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?

Design: Biggest Fan Artist: Eunice Moyle Inspiration: This idea was so easy and breezy, it felt like it wafted in through the window. Who to send it to: Someone who puts the wind in your sails and makes your day fresh and light. Ideas we scrapped in favor of this one: The “Space Heater” metaphor left us a little cold. And air-conditioners are simply not romantic. Favorite detail: The little bit of lift in the hearts gives our hearts a big lift. Why letterpress? For vintage fans, only vintage presses will do.

The three winners from last week are (drum roll, please): Cindy, Stacy and Terri! We’ll contact you next week to arrange sending your You’re Striking card!
Design: We Belong Artist: Eunice Moyle Inspiration: Our salty tongues pepper our design dialogue with pithy one-liners, and somehow the perfect balance of savor and spice emerged. Who to send it to: Your better half, your perfect match or perfect opposite. Ideas we scrapped in favor of this one: The alternate text for the card read: “Come in for two shakes and I’ll show you what I keep in my cellar.” Favorite detail: The simplicity, really. Sweet and simple. Or salty, rather. Why Letterpress? The subtle and simple design calls for the restraint of a limited palette.

Hello all you lucky folks out there! This is the 47th 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): Marlys, Sherry Lykins and Marti Schrock! We’ll contact you next week to arrange sending your Let’s Be Frank card!
Design: You’re Striking Artist: Eunice Moyle Inspiration: We couldn’t quite visually pin down the feeling of being bowled over, or dumbstruck by someone’s charms. So we had this spare design on hand and we let it roll. Who to send it to: Any fine fellow who might be casually referred to as “The Dude.” Also, anyone you feel might be on your team or even a little out of your league. Ideas we scrapped in favor of this one: The “Slam Dunk” card lacked the necessary romance and the baseball Valentine’s implications of “bases” didn’t exactly hit one out of the park. Favorite detail: Love the sports jersey typeface. Why letterpress? Letterpress lets the third shadow color shine through with the overprinting of pink and blue.

The three winners from last week are (drum roll, please): Ruth, Lisa and Heather! We’ll contact you next week to arrange sending your Warm Things card!
Design: Let’s Be Frank Artist: Eunice Moyle Inspiration: We mustard up all our creative juices while playing ketchup on a deadline. Feeling saucy, we wanted a red-hot Valentine’s card that everyone would relish. Who to send it to: Anyone named Frank, Oscar or Mayer, or any adorable little brat. Ideas we scrapped in favor of this one: Though we don’t want to knock the knock-knock knackwurst joke card, writing chorizo jokes was a chore, brat jokes are the wurst, and the mortadella jokes left us mortified. Favorite detail: We’re still snickering at the little casing end. Why letterpress? Our list of links between fine pressmanship and fine sausage is more than a foot long.

Prepare yourself for some intense cuteness… we thought we’d indulge ourselves a little for Valentine’s Day. We have a nostalgic weakness for crocheted stuffed animals. But then, the felted ones are a double-whammy of adorability (pardon the new word.)
Oh heavens! So cute! We have to share our Beaver Love for Valentine’s Day.
A chenile duckie! We can’t decide which is our favorite. But how great are these for a baby shower, or for a new arrival?
MillieFern on Etsy made these— they are some of the best we’ve seen. And of course, I bet you might find or commission a sock monkey.
Gifts.com featured a super fun Hello!Lucky DIY project on their Gift Rap blog! Along with fun instructional videos (complete with bluegrass music!), they include a printable PDF version of several of our Valentines cards so that you can print and personalize them to your heart’s content!
We’ve been thinking pink around here— our super cute new Valentine’s cards seem to be popping up everywhere and Valentine’s Day is just around the corner!
Love, icing and typography! The best combo, and just our cup of tea!
