Update on the L Letterpress Machine
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.

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!

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!

I was just at A.C. Moore today and they had kits and inks and some other accessories. I subsequently went to check out both JoAnn’s and Michael’s – neither of them carry the product at this time.

I have been search for this item and my local AC Moore store is just starting to get in the Lifestyle crafts merchandise. It might take them a little while, but they look to be the only arts & crafts store that is going to carry it – at least for now. I used to work for Michaels, and they will not carry this. Also, as far as I can tell, at least in my local area, Joanns does not carry this.
