Epic Letterpress Giveaway!!

**********CONTEST CLOSED*********

And don't forget you still have until the 24th to take advantage of the site-wide 20% off discount at Lifestyle Crafts! Just enter the code SPLENDID at checkout!

***

Happy Weekend Eve!

 I was recently given the pleasure to try out an Epic Letterpress Machine, and I have to say I am absolutely hooked on what this little guy can do. (More on what I've created so far is soon to come.) I could produce a veritable infomercial singing the praises of this beauty ("It slices! It dices!"), regaling you with talk of its capabilities as a traditional die-cutting and embossing device, but what truly sets this machine apart is that it allows average crafters to produce lovely letterpress projects simply and easily!

The moment you work with the vivid, high-quality inks and the array of designs, I'm sure you'll be just as hooked as I am.

This bold, bright design makes my heart happy!

Need a fun idea for a teacher gift? How about these darling little goody bags? All of the paper elements here -  down to the bag itself - can be crafted with this machine!







Have a wedding, baby shower, or other special event in your near future? You will be giddy, then, to discover you can order custom printing plates specifically for your big day! Think of the possibilities here: business cards, baby announcements...the list could go on and on!


(All photos above from the Lifestyle Crafts idea gallery)

So guess what?





One lucky Positively Splendid reader is going to win one of these beauties!!!







This Epic Letterpress Combo Kit is a $169 value, friends!

Head over to Lifestyle Crafts and come back to comment on the first accessory you would buy for your machine. (Trust me - it will be hard to choose!) I am coveting this darling little fry box.
