Valentine’s Day Wrap-up

Posted on February 17, 2013 by webadmin

Valentine’s Day has come and gone. Thursday nights are filled with league volleyball for me and my boyfriend, so we spent Valentine’s Day with our good friends and celebrated just the two of us the night before. We had dinner at Cobble Hill, a brand new restaurant in downtown Cedar Rapids. Loved the vibe of the whole restaurant and everything was SO GOOD. Definitely a great addition to the local food scene.

I also participated in The Stationery Place’s Valentine’s Card Swap this year. I was matched up with four lovely ladies and sent them each a little Valentine note and in return they all sent me a Valentine. I loved receiving their fun Valentine’s throughout the week!

A gilded Valentine from Brandi at Alexis June Creative.

And a beautiful Valentine from Joanna, all the way from Singapore (look at those stamps!).

What’s on Press – Greeting Cards

Posted on November 25, 2012 by webadmin

ILP is busy in the midst of holiday cards, but I recently finished some greeting cards, using some of my metal and wood type. I bought this shadowed type awhile back, but never had an opportunity to print with it until these cards. I loved how they turned out.

I also had a chance to print with some of my wood type. I don’t have a ton of woodtype in my collection, but I love the bold simplicity of this typeface.

And in other fun news, I’ve posted both of these in the brand-new Etsy shop! Right now I’ve got sets of 10 posted and soon will have singles as well.
