Card to Art is a series of six, limited edition greeting cards that make a quick change from postcard into fine art. Each image in the inaugural “Hot & Cold” series was designed by a different artist. Simply flip the beveled, rectangular die-cut from the back to the front, and you have a classy mat for your perfectly pressed print.
I printed these all by hand in one weekend. I printed them two up to reduce time and setup. Each of the polymer plates were completely separate … which made for a major pain on registration. When I print Series 2 I will make sure that the pairs of plates are connected, so I don’t have to register them separately. This would have saved me hours of press time.
