Letterpress: XOXO Valentine's Day Cards

I first printed these cards at a “First Friday” event at the Visual Art Center in February of 2014! On these evenings, groups of people come in to get a chance to try their hand at the letterpress process. I set the form and lock everything up, do a little demo, and then let them print a batch of cards.

Here are some pictures of the lock up and the printing that went on that evening so many years ago. I tried a few variations of the X’s and O’s before settling in on the final design. The final cards are 4Bar Notecards on 110lb White Cardstock.

The red ink printed beautifully so I picked coordinating envelopes to match. Seeing as everyone is stuck at home again this Valentine’s Day, I decided to list these items in bulk so friends can share the love through snail mail.

Pick up a 12 pack of XOXO Notecard on Etsy for $15.00 plus FREE shipping! OR if you only one one, I’ve reduced the cost down to $2.00 for an individual card.

Check out this link for the listing to the bulk pack. And over here you can find the individual cards.

Of course I have a collection of Valentine’s through the years. One of my favorite designs also pairs well for anniversary gifts or weddings. Check out the “Me & You” cards from 2017 here.
