I’m so pleased to share with you my very first attempt at letterpress. I’m a huge fan of letterpress and I couldn’t wait to try out my Lifestyle Craft Evolution machine with letterpress plates. 
These pieces were made using the gold ink. I love the color. It’s more of a cool gold than a yellow gold. So pretty and elegant. 
This piece was made using the orange ink. I made several of these using various floral plates placed randomly.
Here’s the same card cut into three sections and mounted on a coordinating orange card. I’m thinking of framing this one.
If you want to learn how to use the Lifestyle Craft Evolution machine to letterpress, this video explains the steps and I found watching the video is easier than trying to follow written instructions.

Next I tried the turquoise ink. Love!
Once I got started, it was hard to stop.
You can keep your designs simple or start layering them to make more ornate cards.

ReplyDeleteCaorlyn...your cards and embossing are beautiful! I have a Cuttlebug with embossing plates....but this is something entirely different. I could think of dozens of ways to use your version. The addition of color is fantastic.
