Tutorial For Letterpress

IMG 1357
Using the Lifestyle Crafts Letterpress Starter kit pull out the silver letterpress ink, squeeze a tiny amount onto the acrylic block and roll out with your brayer.  Select the appropriate sentiment and place on letterpress tool with double sided tape.  Apply ink to sentiment with brayer, position card stock and roll through Big Shot (or Epic Six).

Cut kraft card stock to size (I chose 4 1/4inch by 4 ¼ inch) and stamp Hero Arts trees in silver ink.  Ink all edges with white ink.  Use May Arts satin cut out snowflakes, adhere to back and using Score tape add to a 4 ½ inch by 4 ½ inch piece of Echo Park For the Record Tailored patterned paper.
