Yes, but because of the difficulties of Canva files when it comes to setting up for letterpress printing (or even some digital!), starting Jan 2024 we'll be adding a $75 fee to any projects with Canva files (unless, of course, absolutely no editing is needed. Which would be a miracle.)
I'm all for DIY, trust me, but usually we end up spending our time sourcing the fonts used (and they're not always free!) so that we can outline them for printing plates, editing sizes, and sometimes we actually have to recreate the entire file. And time is in short supply.

Yes we can!
We'll need a three things to do this:
A designed sample so we know how you want it to look
The list of fonts used so we can purchase them if they're not already in our library, or you can package the fonts for us
A .csv, google sheet, or excel sheet of the addresses, written exactly as you want it to be. Please do not include extra information on your spreadsheet - no unnecessary columns or information. Make a separate sheet just for addresses.
Ideally, formatted like this (with the Zip line in text format due to some NE zip codes starting with 0):

Like letterpress printing, some papers seems to take to the hot foil stamping better than others. (I'll work on gathering photos for examples.)
Handmade Papers Favorites
I've noticed that papers that aren't super plush for a great letterpress impression foil quite well and these have been rather successful with our little machine.
The stiffness of these papers works in their favor here:
Idyll Paper
Fabulous Fancy Pants
While very textured, and thicker than the above, they foil well:
Rag Papeterie
Fringe & Rose
With Complications:
Porridge Papers
