In a quest to take a break from the screen, Allison and Jamie began a hands-on letterpress business, making cards, beautiful stationery and printed goods for the masses.

From digital designers to hands-on CRAFTswomen, Allison and Jamie Nadeau bought their first letterpress in 2008. In this segment of CRAFT, we learn about their humble beginnings, their eventual move from their garage, their growth of a paper goods business, and their quest to enjoy the process every step of the way, as they gave paper a whole new purpose in everyone’s personal love stories.

About the speaker

At INK MEETS PAPER, we like words. Even moreso, we like handwritten words: a note cherished because of the sender’s loopy handwriting, because of the thoughtful sentiment, because someone took the time to address and mail that note. Handwritten communication is one of the most authentic interactions you can share with someone, and we’re passionate about creating products to celebrate and uphold the beauty of the handwritten and the handcrafted.
