LOVE Giveaway

Posted on February 7, 2011February 8, 2011 by Hijiri

Hi there! I hope you all had a great weekend… did you watch Super Bowl? Or Puppy Bowl? :)

Heartfish Blog has a new look now to go with the Heartfish Press website as you realized. Simpler and cleaner, has bigger images and I’ll be organizing contents more so it’ll be easier to find what you are looking for!

Anyways. My copy of the UPPERCASE issue 8 has arrived and guess what…? I received my own sampler (see everyone’s amazing pieces here)! What are the chances, right? I’m lucky that way, I guess… :) Well, someone else should enjoy this… so I have decided to give that one away here on my blog!

To enter, please leave a comment here and tell me your favorite love song by the end of the day Friday, February 11th and I will pick a winner on Monday, February 14th — on Valentine’s Day <3 All your tweets @heartfishpress and facebook mentions count, too :)

Good luck! xo Hijiri

NEW: Houndstooth Letterpress Cards

Posted on February 1, 2011February 6, 2011 by Hijiri

Happy February, everyone! It’s my favorite month of the year despite the snow and coldness :)

and Valentine’s Day is around the corner, do you have a special card for this year yet? I printed some new greeting cards, I’ve been meaning to share… It’s a houndstooth card with a little twist :)

Some shots from the studio…

Adjusting the impression and the placement:

and print 1 st color — of course the classic black :)

Placing the second plate with red ink… (for version #1)

And voila! Do you get it?! :) You will, when you open the card….

and here are the final products…

Houndstooth Card — I love you.

There is a message inside of the card… :)

Houndstooth Card — Best Friends Forever. For your BFF! :)

Houndstooth Card — I miss you.

Hope you like them! :)

Can’t wait to receive my copy… and I wonder who gets the Heartfish Press samplers… (I included some prints, too!) Will you let me know if you would be the one?
