Holly Day Cards

January 04, 2012 // kristen // 1 replies

I’m getting a kick out of the Tommy Perez’s “Holly Day Cards” which, in addition to featuring quotes from some of my most favorite Christmas movies, are pretty darn slick looking, too. Love that ribbon-y type! Each card is a two color screenprint (enclosed in a one color silkscreened shipping envelope), and Tommy made the cards in a few different colorways, including festive red and white, red and yellow, and metallic gold and white on black.

Check out photos of the “making of” process over on Flickr, too.
