Letterpress: Me & You & You & Me Valentine's Day Cards

Every year I make a new set of Valentine's day cards. I tend to lead a First Friday workshop at the art center where I teach and it's always a perfect project to do with a new group of students.

This year, I tried a few different things before settling on this lock up. It was hard to decide what to do originally. I wasn’t sure wether or not to do this by writing it “me & you” OR “you & me.”

Instead I went with the some classic old song lyrics from “The Turtles” and did both. I swear this song was stuck in my head the entire time I was running them through the press.

The printing went seamlessly & it was in the middle of printing that I actually ordered the black envelopes. The dark envelopes helped the cards work for more than just Valentine's day. They end up being perfect to pair with a wedding gift or for an anniversary.

These are 4Bar Notecards on a nice clean bright white stock. I have already sold a few to friends and hope that I can sell some more with the upcoming wedding season. Pick up your own cards in my Etsy shop! OR if you need a 12 Pack for Valentine’s Day, check that out here (with free shipping!).
