Letterpress unveiled...

So as most of you know I've been crazy busy running my photography business along with starting my Posh Spot business {invitations & stationery} I think I'm a little ambitious but the Lord has placed this passion in my heart for both, so I'm going for it.

Last week as I sat hand making these letterpress anniversary invitations I found myself just tickled to death that someone is paying me for my invitations! I remember as a kid always hand making each card and cutting and pasting, and drawing. And to fast forward to now I never thought I would be lucky enough to make a business out of the things I love. That's so humbling to me.

Two things:

1) I'm currently working on websites for both Heather Essian Portrait Arts and Posh spot so expect an announcement soon. My goal is to release both of them by November. They will be so wonderful!

2) I will be releasing a new line of Letterpress printed invitations. These are super chic and oh so beautiful. Here is the definition~ Letterpress printing is the oldest printing technique, in which a raised surface is inked and then pressed against a smooth substance to obtain an image in reverse.

If you were to see these machines that we use to print with you would think it was a part of an old train. They are over 100 years old. He actually makes a mold of the wording and design in reverse and then presses it with ink into each paper. I design a monogram that is used on either the invitation itself or on the reply cards, and then on anything else, for example: Hayley, the bride below will use this monogram to also order letterpress printed coasters as gifts for her guests. And when it's all said and done each couple gets the exact mold that was used for their monogram as a keep sake. It all sounds so romantic to me. I will be posting Hayley's gorgeous set next week.
