Letterpress on T-shirts

I had fun experimenting with letterpress on t-shirts with other creatives. The shirts were designed and made by Korai. It wasn't the easiest because letterpress in my opinion isn’t made for t-shirt type material. Still I had to try it out for myself to understand the pros and cons. The pros were the modern/vintage effects obtained. The cons were the difficulty in obtaining a clean print or making sure the roller didn’t get snagged on the cloth.

Baby Shower Invitation

New Year upon us and if you are like me, you’ve got plenty of design inspiration and desperately seeking for time to do it all. Like mentioned on a previous post, being a creative means enjoying just about all acts of creating, which can be daunting but very satisfying!

Lately it’s been pretty baby centric here. Before we welcomed Maya, a baby shower was given to her back in Texas. Needless to say, stationery is my specialty and I wanted to design her cards. This time round, I decided to focus on the design and leave the printing to Sire Press who did a great job screen printing! I absolutely love the gold ink on French Paper's Whip Cream!

The design is available for letterpress or flat printing.
