Maria's Cards Featured in Real Simple Magazine

How cool is this? In a round up of "12 Creative Valentine's Card Ideas," Real Simple magazine's website includes Maria's letterpressed "Bee Mine" cards!

Check out the Real Simple piece here.

And there's a lot more where that came from. Check out Maria's letterpress and card portfolio at her MPRESS STUDIO site here, and check out her Maria Villar Design graphic design services here. (Hey, we've got mouths to feed over here, people!)

Christmas Comes Early

Christmas came early for me last Saturday when I received my letterpress postcard exchange with my Ladies of Letterpress group.

A printed exchange is a tradition among printers and this was my first swap. Honestly, I felt like I earned my printer's cred when I received my package.

The premise for this exchange was a postcard swap in the tradition of the "Hello from..." cards from all over the world. Plus, the cards had to go through at least one pass on the letterpress.

Each card was a joy to see and touch. Stay tuned as I share all the postcards in future posts.
