Update: Happenstance has been randomly chosen as our winner. Thanks for commenting everyone!
I was looking for a way to spruce up our birthday labels and was just giddy when I stumbled upon these colorful brads in the office section at Target. Punch through paper in a random pattern and they look just like confetti. Office confetti! Perfect for birthday invitations or perhaps even memos to the boss:)
The celebratory confetti was the perfect accompaniment to our home letterpressed birthday invitations, which I made using Lifestyle Crafts Epic letterpress/die-cut machine. They sent me one to try and one to give away to you! It produced pretty printed invites and was fun to use. If you’d like to win one of the machines + a sampling of great accessories, check out the many projects you could do and let me know in the comments which one you might attempt yourself.
Contest will be open until Sunday.
blessings.
Love the shadowbox of flowers!
oooh! i would love to win one of these! my wedding is diy and this would make it all so much more funand not to mention easier!!
I’d totally be making The Because I forget everything notebook! For sure! Love the brads!!
I would letterpress everything! I bet a “honey do” list would look so much less naggy done with letterpress. :) And of course I’d make my own greeting cards. I love that little machine!
I would totally be making food labels. I make lots and give lots and having a super pretty label would be perfect!
What a fun machine! I would love to use it to make the mini basket. How fun is that handle?
We have a few Birthdays coming up, and a letterpress would be a fabulous tool to have!
I think the Thinking of You card is just lovely!
i would love to make different “thank you” cards. that would be so awesome if i could just make them on the fly and never have to go to the store!!
The cupcake set is just adorable!
It would be so awesome to win one of these as I’ve been drooling over the possibilities but can’t afford one myself! I would letterpress our thank you cards and if I had time, probably the programs and more! :)
I’m a graphic designer so could think of a ton of things to do! Invites and pretty labels most definitely.
How cute! I would love to try the homemade granola treats to give to family and friends :)
I would attempt the “Because I Forget Everything” notebook…because…well…I forget everything! :-)
I love the round fan design of the Thank You card. You guys have great ideas on the site. I have just bookmarked the page;)
I would go crazy if I had one! I would make cards, decorate my room, make labels!
I love the striped envelopes and chevron pattern papers! Would be very fun to use on greeting cards!
I love brads, I have some butterfly ones that my daughter wants to use on everything.
I think I’d attempt our next X-mas card with this nifty tool.
I’m so excited about this giveaway!!! I would probably make cute little menu signs to spruce up the birthday party i’m planning.
I love the little party favour bags!
I’m so excited about this giveaway! If I won I’d use it to create little menu cards for a birthday party i’m planning.
I will be trying the treat bag. SO much fun!
Sooo many projects, both from their examples (Letterpressed Tweet Hello Card, Letterpressed Pocket Full of Posies Card, etc) and from ideas in my head. It’s too late to do my wedding invites (those mailed a couple weeks ago) but programs, escort cards, thank yous, rehearsal dinner invites, Sunday brunch invites, etc are all still on the horizon and would be so fun to press :)
There were certainly a number of neat ones. I do like the cookie monster treat bag and the school yearbook but I think I like these confetti tags the best. Too fun.

I absolutely love sending snail mail whether it’s a Thank You, Birthday, Anniversary, New Home, Congratulatory, Hi, What’s Up – it’s the perfect way to tell someone that you are thinking of them. So if I win (please pick me, please pick me) – I would use it to make beautiful hand made notes to send out.
(please pick me).
I would make the “because I forget everything notebook” and TONS of cards!
The treat boxes are super cute & so is the pennant canvas bag.
I love the Posey Wedding Invite. Most of my wedding is DIY and these are far prettier than anything I can think of!
Love the confetti look. I would probably attempt most of them, but definitely the I love you book, and the fabric rose garland
How fun! I would love to try my hand at several different kinds of letter press cards! The cupcake picks are also very cute.
I like the Thinking of You Card.
I’m a teacher and a serious DIYourselfer! Would love to win the machine – so cool and great to use for classroom projects, parties, etc. I especially like the holiday items, like the Christmas ornaments and valentine boxes. If I do not win, all the ideas, including the brads as confetti are great inspirations! Thank you.
With graduations just around the corner, I would try Letterpressed Congrats Card.
I absolutely love this! And the possibilities are ENDLESS! Especially love the ability to make cupcake wrappers…too cute!
The colored brads are brilliant! I’m going to pick some up next time I’m there which is about 2-3 times/week!:) Oh, I would love to win the letterpress die-cut machine. Honestly, the options are endless of what I would do. I am a HUGE fan of stationary. Plus, I have two kiddies so custom birthday invites would be awesome. Crossing my fingers!!!:)
I would try the Butterfly swirl cards! These ones look awesome it would be soo cool to be able to do all the homemade things
This would be so great! Having the ability to make a card would be so fun;)
If I won, I would probably test it out trying to do the “tweet hello card” or the “pocket full of posies card”. Both are so cute.
So many great ideas – would love to do my own christmas cards and the hostess treat bags are a great idea for gifts/birthdays.
The DIY yearbooks are an adorable idea.
I would finally organize the scrapbook of photos I brought from “the old country.” Right now they are just bobbing around the plastic sleeves, it’s pretty sad.
Wow, so many neat things to make! I would love to make the Cookie Monster Treat Bag for my son.
I am absolutely in love with the book idea… especially the recipe book – Something that is long over due around here!
I would love to attempt something like the Petite Thank You card
Such fun and creative ideas! I’d probably start with the party soda bottle wraps–perhaps working out a deal with my beer-brewing brother-in-law would make for great party favors!
Thanks for the chance to win!

Letterpress cards are exquisite to look at and to feel; they are so classy. I am commissioned to make a friend’s wedding invites and I love the “posy” wedding invitation. I would use your custom plates when I have to make invitations. I have had my eye on this machine, watching videos, reading how customers like the machine, trying to replicate the technique without the machine. I believe that secret to success is using the paper they sell with the machine. Thank you for having this giveaway, I am so looking forward to seeing who wins.
I’d try the Recipe Book. I’ve been putting off compiling a collection of my favourites.
I love letterpress!!!!!!! I’d give the paperbag/treat bags a go – they could be used for so many things!

Would Love! Having our first baby in July and SO badly want to design my own birth announcements…

That would really be nice in prep of my diy wedding, invites, name cards, thankyous, i could go on…It would be lovely.
Love the idea of making personalized labels for homemade food gifts.
I love the look of everything letterpress, and I’ve got a bunch of thank you notes to write from a recent baby shower, so I’d put this straight to work!!! I also love the look of the recipe book- maybe it’d inspire me to cook more!
Well, I think the art of giving and receiving personalized items has died. How many cards do we receive with Hallmarks words and a simple signature? Two Christmases ago I made my own cards from supplies I purchased. It shows folks that you care. So, I’d go with making cards and gift bags. Thanks!

I love the Simple Calendar and all of the triangle Treat Boxes! I would try one of these projects for sure!

I would probably decide on a whim that the Cake Box Cake was totally necessary for a small, informal party I was throwing, and spend waaaay too much time and energy working on making it perfect.
