Fantastic news for those of us — myself included, of course — who have been swooning over Jessica Hische’s Daily Drop Caps for months: you can purchase full alphabet prints or prints of individual drop caps from her shop!

She’s also recently created a letterpress version of one of her alphabets, which is almost too much for my letterpress-loving heart to handle. This one’s definitely on my ultimate letterpress wishlist.

I’m really digging the whimsical illustration style and hand lettering in these prints by Allison Cole of Bang Bang You’re Thread. They would make excellent Valentine’s Day, wedding anniversary, or “just because” gifts, too:

And this veggie print is calling my name. I can’t get enough of the anthropomorphic food!

Aww, isn’t this “Hedgehog Love” papercut adorable? Great news! You can make one (or more) of your very own thanks to Cindy at Scherenschnitte, who has generously shared a downloadable template for this fun papercut craft. I’m loving all of the little details, and I think that these papercuts would make wonderful handmade Valentine’s Day cards/gifts. Break out those X-acto knives!
