letterpressed thank you cards (a bridal shower gift)

Earlier this month, one of my best pals in the world got married - yay!  I wasn't able to make it out to the bridal shower (insert frowny face here), but of course I wanted to send a gift.  I included something fun and something practical ... this was the practical part.  Isn't it nice when practical can also be pretty?

I used my L-Letterpress system from Lifestyle Crafts to make a nice, thick stack of letterpressed thank you notes.  An essential for any bride!

Not familiar with the L-Letterpress?  It is one of my favorite papercrafting tools. Check out Lifestyle Craft's blog for a rundown of the basics.

For these cards, I used a combination of printing plates.  Polka dots from the Wintertide Plates, the thanks script from the Blossoms Plates, and the M monogram on the envelopes is from the Scholastic Plates.

If you get an assembly line going, it really doesn't take long to crank out a big set of cards.  I printed about 50 of these thank you notes in an evening.

Dressed up in a pretty bow, you have a gift worthy of any beautiful bride.

Congratulations, again, Megan and Nate!  I love you guys to pieces.
