13 Letterpress Stationery Designs That Will Have You Sending Letters Again

published on 2/24/23 by Angela Hamilton

I’ve been obsessed with pretty paper for as long as I can remember. I’ve always been a crafter and used to save the tiniest scraps of paper from my own projects, including magazine and book snippets from the thrift store. I’ve always had a card on hand for every occasion. After college, I worked for a wedding blog, where we shared custom invitation suites from stationers everywhere, which only intensified my love of the craft. Because I don’t have endless space, I’m more of an admirer than a collector (or maker) of papercraft these days… Whether it’s making paper by hand (fascinating!), dyeing it yourself, or the art of printmaking, I have a full catalog of paper inspiration saved on my Instagram and Pinterest just because. One of my favorite way to make pretty paper even prettier, though, is the art of letterpress.

Whether they use multiple colors or none at all, layers of paper or just a single sheet, I can’t get over how beautiful letterpress is and how many ways there are to create with it. My favorite modern letterpress designer is Swell Press, by Britt Rohr in Los Angeles. Fun fact: we featured Britt in our self care for creatives series just after we launched this blog. Give it a read here!

Like I said, letterpress can be just as stunning without any color at all (and this is coming from a maximalist!), as evidenced by this Camellia & Co French thank you note. All of Leigh’s stationery and wedding invitations are just stunning!
