Meet The Makers

Rosanna Kvernmo is one of the first letterpress card makers I met when I attended the National Stationery Show. She’s brimming with energy and enthusiasm for her craft, be that letterpress printing or designing a new line of office supplies. Check out her gorgeous notebooks and thumbtacks, and of course, her awesome cards!

Bench Pressed is owned and operated by Andy & Jane Shannon, a husband and wife team in Minneapolis, Minnesota. They started Bench Pressed out of their spare bedroom in 2012 and have been creating “tongue in cheek with a little sweet” letterpress greeting cards ever since. 

Shayna Norwood is based in Chicago, Illinois where before you know it, she will have a new retail storefront! Her work is a mix of classic, elegant designs and with some sassy sayings thrown in where you might not expect it design wise.

Kim Burks’ work is delicate and beautiful. I am thrilled to share one of her cards for the first time. Her impeccable handwriting and elegant line weights are a consistent theme in her lovely line.

Ursula Jaroszewicz has shared her elegant dot designs with us before. The blind impression tree rings on her featured card seem fitting for the turn of the calendar year and to celebrate a sincere birthday wish.
