A Letterpress Christmas: Two Piglets Letterpress

December 5th, 2006

A Letterpress Christmas

Two Piglets Letterpress Monkey Joy Card

Alright, this “Monkey Joy” card from Two Piglets Letterpress is so cute that it should probably be illegal, but that could cause problems. First, we wouldn’t be able to buy illegally cute cards in regular paper stores. Naturally, a black market for illegally cute paper creations would pop up, where hopelessly addicted paper cravers like me would pay insane amounts of money to get their hands on these precious commodities. Pretty soon, the ICEA (Illegally Cute Enforcement Agency) would be created by the government, and we’d all be hiding out in “paper dens” in hopes of not being caught and prosecuted for illegal possession of too cute paper goods. Not good. Not good at all.

Luckily, this insanity is only in my head and “Monkey Joy” cards can be purchased legally from Broadway Paper.

A Letterpress ChristmasPancake and Franks Holiday Cards

Lovely holiday cards from Pancake & Franks, created in their signature chic, minimalist style. Line drawn images, stylized botanicals, quasi-abstract suggestions of more…it’s all good. Pictured above (clockwise from top left) are their antler, pine needle, pomegranate, and menorah holiday cards. Yes, this feature is called “A Letterpress Christmas”, but we love all holidays here at Paper Crave and this menorah rocks. $5.00 per single card and $15.00 per set.
