DIY Letterpress Look Notecards with the Silhouette Curio
I love letterpress, don't you? I just love how it combines the visual and tactile into something that feels really special - almost from another time. It's magic lies in the slow, artisanal, by-hand process, which is hard to recreate at home.

I hoped I could harness the Curio's embossing powers to capture the look of letterpress, and I was not disappointed. After a bit of experimenting, I ... [Read More]
