The L Letterpress by Quickutz
AAAAHHHH. That’s all can say to sum up how excited I am about this nifty new tool! For those of you that don’t share my love of paper & crafting tools (yet) let me fill you in…
Letterpress is a beautiful, old school (and I mean ooold) method of printing. (Can you imagine a time before we could just push a button & ‘voila’ a beautiful creation popped out?!) The technique involves printing words or designs with ink while simultaneously debossing the image into thick, soft paper. (Deboss means indent.) For anyone interested in creating letterpress in the modern century, it was an expensive & intricate process to fiddle with. But the L Letterpress is changing that!

Nothing compares to the look & feel of letterpress, it's luxurious & decadent!
See how pretty:
