It is time for my annual invitation to you to post your printed Christmas and Chanukah cards.
It is not bragging when you respond to an invitation. It is sharing. We who are less creative and artistic enjoy your work. Those who are creative and artistic do also.

Happy ChrisHanZa.

Thanks for the yearly invitation! I’m sharing my card which is printed from one woodcut and one linocut on recycled paper. Run on a Vandercook Universal 1.

Does an advent calendar count? Printed with wood type and metal figures and ornaments on a Vandercook 4, doors cut by hand with a box cutter. Hm, I wonder if there might be a more efficient way to do that…

Found this great cut at the Iowa Printers’ Fair. Could not pass it up.

Okay people, why won’t the image post? Any ideas on what I’m doing wrong? I get the uploading message, but nothing happens.

Hi Lauri,

Try making your image smaller and/or lower resolution to reduce the file size.

These were just a little something we printed for our store. Made with Steve Moore’s wood type ornament pieces.
