My Personal Artist Letterpress



We are absolutely THRILLED to have our VERY OWN letterpress printing press in our hands! It is a gorgeous Original Heidelberg Printing Press! Mr. M. is prepping the press now!

We are super excited to offer competitive letterpress pricing and GREAT quality letterpress invite + stationery! Since we are printing your order our selves, we are cutting out the middle man! Saving you money on our original + unique invitation designs.



Letterpress printing, in my opinion, is the MOST lovely printing of ALL! The printing plates are inked then press into the thick paper leaving a deep printed indentation. The most beautiful impression in more than one way. One of our original letterpress designs include OAK LEAVES shown above. Of course you get to choose your ink color, fonts and more when working with My Personal Artist! You can certainly add hand painted artwork or a custom made motif to personalize your letterpress invitations even more! Questions? Please contact me!

Anemone Flower Wedding Theme


Kristen wanted a custom invitation for her wedding featuring Anemone flowers. This flower is ADORABLE. Anemone means "WIND" in Greek. And is known as the "WIND FLOWER" as they thought the wind caused it to bloom. Soooo Sweet. Don't you think?

Kristen's custom wedding invitations with anemone flowers is simple and vintage. Light tan metallic coverstock, layered w/ black coverstock and thick white coverstock. Each Anemone is finished off HAND-PAINTED in a very light blush watercolor. Each invite is truly one-of-a-kind.

I have been designing wedding invitations for 11 years. I normally illustrate VERY large blooms. I must say this simple flower stole my heart.

Cake shown above from Elisa at Confetti Cakes. Centerpiece from Brides.com. Anemone bouquet from MarthaStewart.com. I LOVE how these Christian Louboutin Bouquet Platform shoes match our invite!

Red, Black + White Wedding Color Scheme


Christina wanted me to incorporate black, white, red, roses and a chandelier on her custom wedding invitations! I requested wedding planning photos she had been personally using to plan her wedding. Above is the inspiration board I created for her along with the custom CHANDELIER wedding invitation design.

"Oh my goodness, Michelle! I LOVE it beyond words. ... I LOVE it! I know what I wanted but couldn’t really see it in my mind until you created it! I love it!" ~ Christina N.
