A Letterpress Christmas 2009 : Elum

December 07, 2009 // kristen // 0 replies

I’m so excited about the elum letterpress holiday card collection, and I’m loving the gift wrap designs that they’ve created, too! So many great cards, but I think that my favorite has to be Cornucopia (above), a card that is made up of 10 unique punch out gift tags that the recipient can use for their own gift giving. It’s a card and a little extra gift, all rolled into one! More eye candy from elum’s holiday collection:

Super cool gift wrap:
