Everyone Loves Letterpress! From Papered Together: Sk*rt/Maker Faire Giveaway #14

‘Tis the Season to send out some letterpress. Actually, now that I think about it, anytime’s the right time to send it out. Because it’s just that awesome.

Papered Together agrees. So much so that this lovely little Minneapolis letterpress studio makes all kinds of cards, coasters and custom stationery for wedding, birthdays, new businesses, new babies or just for fun, entirely by hand on antique presses. It’s really so cool. And so personal. In fact, Krista Stout, the owner and master letterpresser (is that a word?) is inspired everyday by “the slow, mindful art of creating each design, mixing inks, preparing the press, and hand-printing each card one at a time.” Maybe it’s because she comes from a long line of printers and loves “thinking of all the hands that have used these old presses before.” Or maybe it’s just because she’s cool.

And you know why she’s cool? Because she does letterpress. Also because she’s giving away a set of any six cards AND a set of coasters from her excellent etsy shop.
