Little Paper Soul

Elizabeth Forbes is an artist, graphic designer and letterpress print obsessive. A few years ago Elizabeth moved her family, her dog and two ginormous antique printers halfway across the world, from sunny Sydney to a garage in Cramond in Edinburgh – back to the city where she was originally from. Elizabeth blends the traditional print methods of Letterpress with vibrant, contemporary design to produce gorgeous, tactile hand-crafted greeting cards, prints, stationery and wedding invitations.

Sustainability is so important to her art practice, her 100 year old printing press is treadle operated so no electricity is required when using it! The papers used are waste product from the cotton industry, perfect for Letterpress Printing. All the envelopes used are made from 100% recycled paper. Little Paper Soul’s cards don’t come in plastic, the card and envelope are held in place by a recyclable sticker.
