I can't walk into a stationery store without immediately being drawn to anything done in Letterpress. Luxurious, Italian milled paper, beautiful graphics and type, sometimes plain, sometimes done in bold colors. For a brief history on Letterpress, here's a wonderfully informative link: Hearts & Anchors, History of Letterpress
Those of us that adore the look and feel of this fine stationery have often coveted having our own press. But, even if we could afford it, there's also the dilemma of WHERE to put it . . . *chuckle*
This was all Ellen's idea, just so ya' know. *wink*

She looks at the Memory Box dies. And the Art Magnetic Masking Material. And then she gets that look in her eye. You know the look. Heh, heh, heh!!!
Today, we have a video tutorial to show you one method of achieving the look of Letterpress with some very simple yet highly versatile tools and supplies--and they don't take up anywhere near the storage space a press would require! 
Enjoy the video here, or if you prefer to watch it in High Definition, just visit YouTube!
