With only a month and a half until Frank and I get married, I have been working on some wedding preparations before the big day. I really love the look of letterpress invitations so when I came across the Lifestyle Crafts L Letterpress Combo Kit I thought it would be fun to buy one and try making letterpress invitations myself.
I did a little research and found that people got good results with the L Letterpress Machine with custom plates from Boxcar Press following the Boxcar Press tutorial. I've been having fun learning about a lot of new things in designing the invitations since both letterpress printing and using Adobe Illustrator are new to me. I've been ordering paper samples for both envelopes and letterpress paper and finally settled on what I'd like to use. I'm also just about finished with my design to send off to Boxcar press to have my letterpress plate made. I don't want to share much of the design until after I am done and my guests have already received their invitations, but I will definitely post about it after they have been completed and sent out.
