Spring Letterpress Cards from Satsuma Press

Spring Letterpress Cards Satsuma Press

It’s always a happy paper day when something new from Satsuma Press pops up in my inbox, and I’m completely enamored with their beautiful new spring line, which includes four lovely, modern letterpress card designs – Hello Friend, Paint, Bella, and Floral Field – in a palette of palest pink, ochre, mist, and dark charcoal. My goodness, do I ever love these colors (and these beautiful cards, too)!

New Advertiser : Sent Well

Sent Well

Please welcome Paper Crave’s newest advertiser, Sent Well, a service for busy people who love pretty paper goods and still believe in keeping in touch the old-fashioned way – with real, paper greeting cards.

Sent Well offers a wide selection of stylish letterpress, screenprinted, and plantable greetings from a bunch of awesome companies, including Night Owl Paper Goods, Elum, Hello! Lucky, and Egg Press, and they will hand write your personal message in your choice of card, stamp it, and send it so it arrives on your chosen date. But, if you would prefer to send your card(s) yourself, then it’s no problem. They’ll just send the cards directly to you.

All of the cards that Sent Well carries are environmentally friendly, and as part of their service they offer a free Card Calendar, so you can keep track of upcoming occasions and have reminders sent to you, and a Card List, so you can choose all of your cards ahead of time and schedule them to be sent as each occasion approaches.

This is such a great service for people who have very hectic schedules but still want to send out pretty greetings, as well as military personnel (a 15% military discount is available), who want to send cards and correspondence but may not have access to a stack of stationery and cards. People who have long business trips or vacations scheduled can also benefit from this service, as they won’t have to miss sending greetings for occasions and events that will be happening while they’re away.

Happy Easter Cards, Part 1

I would’ve guessed that the next holiday was the 4th of July if you asked me last week (talk about unseasonably warm weather!) but, actually, it’s that time of the year when chocolate bunnies, jelly beans, and egg-shaped candy rule. The Easter Bunny will be hopping down the bunny trail soon, and I have a roundup of bright and sweet Easter cards that you can tuck into baskets, hide with all of those colorful eggs, or send to family and friends.
