Heart Love Note

These are crafty Valentine’s Day Love Notes. They are designed to fold up to become their own envelopes when you cut out the hearts. The image is of a lace pattern, making it kind of sexy and intimate. To make them extra special, they have been screen printed in Red and Black. This gives them a nice tactile surface for a special touch. #screenprint #artprint #design #ink #craft #handmade #red #black #valentines #lovenotes #screenprinted #mydarndest #print #envelope #rochester MYDARNDEST Studio – Rochester, New York View more work at: www.mydarndest.com

Biography

Bill Klingensmith MYDARNDEST Studio in Rochester, New York: Portrait of Bill Klingensmith 2015Freshop, Creative Director

I’m Bill Klingensmith, Principal and Creative Optimist for the design studio, “MYDARNDEST”, in Rochester, New York. In 2007, after seven years in academia and a term as president of the AIGA Upstate New York chapter, I decided to focus full-time on my own independent design studio. That was a great learning experience. I was fortunate to land a full-time position as Creative Director with a tech company that builds eCommerce solutions for independent grocery stores. Now that we are in the thick of COVID-19, I’m crazy busy and doing great work. If your local grocery store is not selling groceries online, tell them Freshop is the solution they should consider.
