We appreciate your interest in this event, but response has been overwhelming and we have reached capacity.  Please stay tuned here: etsy.com/community/events for our Hands-On event next month!

Have you fallen in love with letterpress?  Have you felt aflutter from the kern of your favorite font? Have you swooned at the infinite possibilities in a sheet of card stock?  We have, and in the newly redesigned 2012 creative event series at Etsy Labs, called Etsy Hands-On, we'll be getting intimate with paper craftsmanship in the spirit of Valentine’s Day.

On February 7th, we are spreading the love and teaming up with Sesame Press  for a night of card making at Etsy Hands-On: Valentines. We will have tabletop letterpress machines set up with two different designs for coasters (make a set!) and the Vandercook press equipped to print a folded card. After printing, enjoy drinks and treats while making your own envelopes with vintage papers and ephemera or type up a love letter in Miniature Rhino's very special letter writing booth!  Bonus: the first 25 people to check-in will receive a free tote bag and we'll be raffling off some sweet surprises throughout the night.
