12.13.11Hi everyone, I’m here to share a quick and easy card using the Letterpress system by Lifestyle Crafts.  If you haven’t heard, the Lifestyle Crafts brand was purchased by We R Memory Keepers…two awesome companies, now one!  To end the year with a bang and to kick off into a crafty New Year, I’ll be doing a give away…details are at the end of this post.

I’m using Jubilee Letterpress Printing Plates (these plates have been renamed from Holiday) and not using ink  for a debossed image.  The printing plates give nice, deep, debossed impression and it’s one of my favorite ways of making cards that are simple, yet elegant.

I cut my Letterpress card stock to 3″x3″ and lined it up on the Letterpress Platform.  If I were going to be making a lot of the same card, I’d use the adhesive and strips to keep this process quick and easy, but for today’s card, I’m eyeballing it and it worked perfectly.

I ran it through the Evolution…a wonderful machine btw!  Look at that nice impression!

12.13.8

I cut my layered pieces at 3.25″ square and 3.5″ square.  My patterned paper is cut at 4.75″ square and my card base is 5″ square.

I loved the look so much I made another one in no time at all!  Love how you can mix and match the colors and get an equally gorgeous look!  The paper I used is Simple Stories Handmade Holidays and it’s so pretty!
