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!

    Ooh..I would definitely order something custom. I recently started my own business and it would be amazing to make my own business cards!

  6. Lexie & Jeff says

    How cool to be able to create beautiful things at home! I love the printing plates-especially the damask and the petals. So many lovely options! Thanks for the great giveaway.

  7. Brooke says

    I like to keep thing organized so I’d get the pink Zip-a-round binder to keep everything in. Ooohh I would just cry with excitement if I won this!!!

  14. teampr8 says

    Ohhh, I have been coveting one of these for a very long time. I would definately get either an alphabet-love letters, monograms and typography. Or the zip around case to go with my organizing bug lately.

  16. lisastuf says

    Oh my! This machine looks awesome! I went to the site and you are right, it’s very hard to pick.
    I think the first accessory I’d pick is the Lace Scallop…though I really liked the Whirlpool alphabet too!
    I would have a hard time deciding.
    Thanks for a chance to win!

    I posted this on my FB page also.

    Thanks for another chance to win…I am so excited about this giveaway!

  29. Natalie says

    Seriously!! So hard to pick! It’s a toss up for me between the paper bag and the cupcake liners. Or maybe the frames! Thanks for the giveaway!

  30. fyk says

    I love the cupcake liners and the label maker..as well as the custom plates! Everything looks tempting!

  31. Dena says

    I would get one of the letter sets, loving the carousel or handmade alphabet! Thanks for the chance to win.

  64. Kate W. says

    I want the fry box! And the triangle box! And the party flag inserts! Oh my there is SO much. I’m not super crafty like you, Aims, but there’s an inner creative person dying to get out!

  70. Stephanie says

    I think my 1st purchase would be photo corners (scalloped)
    REV-0092
    Kind of in love with photo corners at the moment and go through too too many of them! Would LOVE this!

    What an AWESOME giveaway!! THANK YOU!! The first accessory I would buy would be the Cupcake Liners. However, as predicted, I cannot choose which one I this time. SO MUCH GREAT stuff to choose from!!

  81. sleeplesswonder says

    I am a new follower. OMG this machine looks awesome. This is the first time I have seen so many projects from it. You are so right about it being hard to choose which acc. to choose first, but I think I would have to choose the diploma or the grad hat, since my son will be graduation kindergarten soon. Thanks so much for the chance to win.

  84. Becky says

    I love that you can have your own invitation wording turned into a plate- I would probably have to find someone to give a shower to!

  86. Julie says

    I think I’d buy the arrows die- arrows are so useful on masculine cards and scrapbook layouts! Then I’d buy an alphabet die so I could stop buying all those alpha stickers!

  103. Jessica says

    Oh my goodness! What an awesome give-away! If I won, I would have to find a really nice printing plate, and make some kick butt invitations for my cousins wedding.

  106. McVic says

    I am planning my son’s 1st birthday, and I’m swooning over the FRY BOX! What a GREAT party favor! I’m already dreaming of how to personalize it and use a theme!

  125. Frugal Gal says

    Everything!! Let’s start with the fry box – adorable for kids snacks and treat boxes! And I couldn’t do without the bubbly alphabet!

  126. SamS. says

    I love the little boxes and the nesting frames! Too cute! Thanks for all the great tutorials and the cool giveaway

  130. Mimi says

    I would have to pick two: the gold seal to be used with a personalized message…created with love by…
    The projects they have posted are adorable…especially the fry box! Have a great day!

  131. Robin says

    I have seen that fry box on another blog recently and have coveted it. Even bought some paper that would be fantastic for it, but alas, I don’t know how to make it. Who knew a machine could take the “I don’t know” out of it. So exciting.

  141. The Rudds says

    If forced to choose, I’d have to pick some of the boxes and the nesting squares! The colors make me so happy! Thanks for such an awesome giveaway!

  159. Chelsea says

    I think the first thing I would buy is one of each of the plates! Just kidding, I can’t afford THAT!

    Probably both the alphabets, though.

  178. Stef says

    Oh, Amy, how awesome is this!! I think I’d go for the happy birthday cut/emboss folder OR the lace scallop OR both…..

    Thanks for the chance!!!

  179. Jessie says

    I love all those fun borders. You could really use them in so many ways. This is such a neat machine 🙂 Thanks for the awesome giveaway….

  208. Hol says

    Thanks for such a great opportunity to win!

    I’d love to get “accessories” like the nesting label (rectangle) and the embossing folders – label.

  232. Donnelly Does Design says

    I would love to win this! I am a designer & a bookmaker that is in love with printmaking! And the letterpress is such an amazing printmaking tool!

    The first thing I would get for my letterpress would be the wooden printing plate sets- to make fun, tiny woodsy books!

  257. Jenn Erickson says

    I had the opportunity to try Holly/504 Main’s machine and absolutely loved it! I love the party flag die, and have purchased the fry bag die (even though I don’t have a machine yet).

  261. mekei says

    i still have to learn how to post on facebook and i guess get a blog. but funny you should say, but i want that fry box too. did you see it done in vellum? adorable. the cupcake fancy wrapper and pennants too are on my wish list.

  272. Liliana says

    I love the projects you made, I think the first thing I would buy is the carosel alphabet…….there are so many cute things it is hard to decide!
    Thanks for the chance to win such a great project!

  274. Linda says

    Thanks for giving this away. If I win it would be great. I love making cards because they are more personal.I also think about all the other things I can make with this machine.

  282. AShu93 says

    I would buy the wipes to clean up the ink. I tried out the letterpress plates & made a mess, but I’d love to have the right machine to use them with.

  285. Jolene and Ty says

    I would get the pillow box, so stinkin cute!My husbad was sent to texas for a month to help fight the wild fires and this would help keep me busy!

  297. Justme says

    Very NICE system I could use this! I’d buy the twigs and sprigs plate probably among others! Donna

  317. Extravaganza Craft Productions says

    I would have a very hard time deciding between the leaves which I would use to create all kinds of flowers, bouquets etc. and the nested shapes (most likely the squares) which could be used in so many of my projects.

    Oh my goodness! I am so glad Kim retweeted this giveaway or I would have missed it with being so busy with school all week- I just happened to catch this!!! I want one so bad after our demo at Creative Estates!!! I would totally get the Splendor tile! I love stationary with that sunray effect!
