I finished printing and shipped out two big orders last week.  (or was it two weeks ago?) and finally got a chance to finish documenting and photo editing.   Below is a picture of ALL the letterpress cards ready to package and ship out!

That’s a lot of cards!  You can see more details of the invitations by accessing my flickr site:  HERE

It definitely feels like a huge accomplishment getting this order completed.

Next up: letterpress Thank You cards for my own wedding AND another custom order of the “Hands Ceremony” that will be printed to be given as a wedding gift.

How Lovely!

“Blessing of the Hands” revised by Rev. Daniel L. Harris

These hands holding you on your wedding day are the hands of your best friend, young and strong and full of love for you as you promise to love each other today, tomorrow, and forever.
These are the hands that will work alongside yours as together you build your future.
These are the hands that will love you and cherish you through the years, and with the slightest touch will comfort you like no other.
These are the hands that will hold you when fear and grief wracks your mind.
These are the hands that will countless times wipe the tears from your eyes, tears of sorrow and tears of joy.
These are the hands that will tenderly hold your children.
These are the hands that will help you to hold your family as one.
These are the hands that will give you strength when you need it.
And lastly, these are the hands that even when wrinkled and aged will still be reaching for yours, still giving you the same unspoken tenderness with just a touch.

I finally got to spend a full day working in the studios yesterday.  With summer comes less staffing and weird scheduling at the studios.  Finding a full day to spend printing has been a struggle.  Plus I still have my other part time job to juggle both schedules can be a challenge.  But yesterday I woke up super early and spent 5 hrs printing at the studios.

I cranked out a bunch of new baby cards and father’s day cards.  The Father’s Day cards have been documented and are up on ETSY!  check ‘em out!

I’ll post the all the new Baby cards soon too, I promise!

Below are some pix of the new cards I printed last week.  I have some carrot cards for garden season, a new congratulations card using an old boat graphic and a phone card.

I think the phone card is my favorite.  I love how strong and graphic the image is.  And, of course, I love how vintage old things look.

I’m also starting to put more work up on my flickr site.  I’m joining groups and contributing to pools.   There’s definitely a wealth of information there.  And all sorts of group pools from Wedding Planners, to Crafty Girls to Handmade Cards and Etsy advice.I did get a message from the Flickr gods saying I had to take down all links to my etsy page.  Apparently it’s against Flickr policy to promote any goods.  I also had to take down any phrase that indicated sales of any kind.  Hopefully the changes I made will suffice and they won’t cancel my membership….  So far so good.

I’m catching up on my photo documentation, slowly but surely.  I recently was able to update my flickr site with more detailed images of my greeting cards.   You can see all pix by clicking on this site: http://www.flickr.com/photos/steelpetalpress/
