Handprinted Cards

Animals | Bikes |Christmas | Halloween | Northwest Landscapes | Northwest Creatures | Valentine's Day

For most of my cards, I carve original linoleum or wood block designs and print them on the antique letterpress equipment at the IPRC in Portland, Oregon. All the type is set by hand. The cardstock is hand fed onto the press, and I make multiple passes for each separate element of the card. It's really fun to do!

I also make cards using Print Gocco - a mini hand-silkscreen process from Japan. It's fun and easy, and great has colors! Again, thanks to the IPRC where I learned gocco!

About my Cards

Recycled Content - I am committed to sustainability and the use of recycled materials. I only use 100% recycled paper and envelopes. I use a variety of 100% recycled cardstock:

• Nenah Environment Tortilla and Mesa White -- with 50% sugar cane, 50% post-consumer recycled, they are pretty enough to eat!
• French Paper's Construction and Speckletone lines.
• My envelopes are Nenah Environment PC 100 (100% post-consumer recycled. Yea!) or French Paper's 100% recycled Construction line.

Envelopes - Each envelope is hand-stamped with an image that matches the card! Envelopes are 100% recycled.

Sizes - All cards are 4.25" x 5.5"
