Stationery Saturday is back in 2011. This weekend, Saturday February 5, we’re printing without ink on luscious cotton card stock to create a stunning, subtle effect. We’ll be working with bold sans serif lead letters on our hand-cranked Vandercook proof press, so adventurous customers can try their hand at printing. We’ll have 5-by-7-inch Lettra cards in three shades of white, and a rainbow of colorful envelopes to choose from. The name or phrase of your choice, up to 15 characters, will be letterpress-printed on ten cards for just $29.00. You can watch as we set the type and crank out the cards (and ask all the silly questions you want along the way), shop and nosh on home-made cookies while we do the printing, or place your order and make arrangements to pick up your finished cards at a later date.
Seeing as it’s just a week before Valentine’s day, we think this makes a fantastic gift for your sweetheart. And it’s such a good deal, you will probably want to pick up a set for yourself as well.
You can read more about our monthly personalized-stationery-letterpress-printed-while-you-wait events, including other upcoming dates, on the Stationery Saturday page. If you want to spread the word about this unique event, you can invite your friends via the event listing we’ve created on the Lunalux Facebook page. And if you’re itching to get your paws on some of these cards but can’t make it to our Minneapolis studio this Saturday, don’t fret – you can order online through the Lunalux shop at feltandwireshop.com.
We’re honored to grace the pages of the newest issue of Minnesota Bride magazine. First, you’ll find us on page 36 of the spring/summer 2011 issue, on newsstands now; a story about unique wedding stationery includes an invitation printed at Lunalux last summer, along with a brief explanation of the project’s uncommon story. Next, check out the portrait of bride and groom Brandyn & Mario on page 146. See those rustic old doors? Those are OUR doors, where our studio opens into the back alley. Photographers LOVE those doors. If you’ve got nuptials on the brain, this issue has other great content as well, including unique reception locations and stories about both cakes AND cupcakes. We particularly love the State Fair wedding photos on page 64-65.Visit the
