I don't know about you, but when I was too poor to by "real" art, I made a habit of buying nice greeting cards that were frame-worthy to hang on my apartment walls.
Now, who needs the x-acto knife and mat board? Card to Art Greeting Cards has made the transformation as simple as can be...and using letterpress to boot.
Check out the link for images of the final products.

Drink coasters have become the perfect canvas for compact works of art. And, the thick stock provides a great opportunity for experimenting with letterpress and embossing techniques, as well.
This calendar project, for Meadowlark Creative, is a nice collection of playful illustrations to be enjoyed year-round.

The details on this promotional poster are quite nice. The strong color and bold typography integrate very well with the details of the embossed patterns. I think this piece is a lovely illustration of the fact that good design doesn't always have to shout.
Sometimes, it's nice to uncover the intricacies of the work for yourself...

Via Beast Pieces:
This poster is a father and son collaboration. All elements are hand drawn by Koen (age 6) with a Sharpie marker at the dining room table, then arranged digitally. The type is the “Golden Rule” as penned in the honest hand of a child. Maybe what we learned in kindergarten is most important.
What a wonderful idea, wonderfully executed...

I really love the creativity that is inspired in designers when there's a new bundle of joy on the way. This announcement eschews the traditional pink for a peppy orange and red scheme that successfully communicates the excitement of the occasion.
And you can (almost) never go wrong with letterpress...

Minnesota's Brew Creative designs a beautiful and understated card for Neve - the sportswear company located in Boulder, Colorado. The combination of the strong logomark and letterpress print process make for a nice first impression.

I love the typography and the use of a unique paper selection to communicate a message about the brand. Every detail counts...
