are you inspired yet? ;) i know it's a little discouraging looking at all these beautiful cards when letterpress printing can run somewhat high depending on how fancy you get. but think about branding and what message you are sending to your clients. is it worth spending the extra $$ for? i would say so. :)
in the above image, sarah writes a great article on 'tips for more affordable letterpress' here. be sure to check etsy for great affordable custom letterpress cards -- sellers like chatham and caron and vermilion star press offer lovely custom business cards cards for around only $1 each. the mandate press actually offers a pretty sweet deal: 200 simple black+white cards for only $95! here and lastly, i stumbled upon exquisite letterpress while i was looking for business card inspiration and came upon their almost free cards -- their prices are really reasonable for 500 - 2000 cards. click their instant quote form here!
ps: if you haven't had enough business card inspiration, i looked through flickr using the search term "letterpress business card", or see the dingbat press card set (they print some great cards)

Thanks for making me remember how much I love stationary. The feel of textured paper is so special.
I die for letterpress! And I think it's more than worth the extra expense. There's just nothing better.

I LOVE the Dingbat Press and the Yellow Boutique!!
I love Mandate! They are fabulous, I use them all the time. I just finished some cards for a client using their $95 deal. I did the logo in a stamp, for a little extra texture, and we think they turned out beautifully!
