Playing with Custom Letterpress Printing Plates from Lifestyle Crafts

Hello everyone! Popping in to share some fun I've had playing with the custom letterpress printing plates from Lifestyle Crafts / We R Memory Keepers. I love all the pre-designed printing plates  by Lifestyle Crafts, but I've always wanted to have some of my own. I've also got to play with the new and improved L Letterpress Platform (which will be available in WRMK official online store tomorrow, April 10!). I love that we have a few inks and some cleaning cloths to get started without further investment!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IOXScgGYcoU Since I've shared a few letterpressed projects before, I get questions like "How does it really work?" all the time. I think it is a little hard to explain unless you've seen it in action. So here is my video:

Now that I've tried, I think that more delicate designs with finer lines will showcase this technique a lot more better. Something to try later! Cool, right? And I immediately used the tag on a gift bag! If you want to order your own custom letterpress printing plates, remember to check out the specifications on this page and place the order here. You will also need a L Letterpress Platform Starter Kit (remember to get the new and improved version). You can also find more inks, letterpress paper and printing plates here! We R Memory Keepers is also offering my blog readers a special 20% off coupon for shopping at shopwer.com. Thank you for stopping by! Happy Crafting!
