Update on the L Letterpress Machine

Published by DIYBride at 6:26 pm under Crafter\'s Toolbox

Hey DIYers,

Michelle from Lifestyle Crafts responded to our questions about the L Lettepress Machine.

Thanks for your comments and interest in our new product line! I thought I’d answer a few of your questions…
…our printing plates come with an double-sided adhesive sheet that is used to adhere the plates to the L Letterpress tool so you can print as many plates as you’d like at one time.
…the current alphabet printing plate designs are designed to be used as monograms. You could of course use them to spell a word or name but the size and design probably functions best as a monogram.
…the other printing plate skus available all contain a variety of phrase dies that work well for many different occasions
…we are going to offer a custom program that will be announced very soon! This will allow you to create your own words, phrases designs etc.

I’m totally excited about their custom program! Can’t wait to hear more. And, yeah, I pre-ordered mine this afternoon. :-)

    That’s so exciting! I wish this would have came out before I did my invitations.

    Yes!! The Custom program is exactly what I was hoping for!

    [...] answer my first question, it was said that they are going to have some kind of “custom program”. Now, I AM BEYOND EXCITED. [...]

    I am so in love with this machine, and it’s not even out yet….

    Where did you pre-order from?

    I pre-ordered from https://ucutathome.com/. They have the full kit (die cut machine + letterpress kit) for $134.99 (it showed up in the checkout at that price).

    The custom program is amazing! I hope it is as affordable as the kits seam to be. WOW! I am so excited! Think about how great this is!

    Does anyone know which plates come with the letterpress combo kit?
    Also, it’s Fall now…when is this coming out?
    I’d LOVE to have it now!

    Hey Lisa,

    The L Letterpress, at last word, was going to ship in October. I think the plates are the reaaaally tiny shapes in the picture of the kit; they’re not full plates and are more about the size of rubber stamps – I’m guessing.

    Is this item going to be available at Michaels , AC Moore or Joanns?

    Thanks

    Hi, all. I’m the webmaster for http://www.lifestylecrafts.com.

    @Lisa – I’m looking at the Letterpress packaging right now, and seeing that the printing plates include 3 shapes: two of which are kind of flower-like, and the other is kind of a thin, border-type flourish.

    It also contains 5 phrases: “Happy Birthday” in a cursive font, “Thank You” in a sans-serif font, “I Love You” in a slightly serif font, “for you” in a bolder cursive, and “Hello” in the same font as “Thank You”.

    @Tonya – I have heard all three of these names tossed around the office quite a bit in Letterpress-relevant discussions. I would imagine that eventually all 3 will be carrying the tool, as it is planned to be available in large chain stores, although I don’t know what the plans are for it when it first is released.

    The tool was delayed somewhat by the overseas manufacturer, but is scheduled to arrive here VERY soon, so be looking for this as a potential Christmas gift. I know I am strongly considering it for my wife.

    Hope this helps!
