Cute Cards by LadyLucas

February 15, 2011 // kristen // 1 replies

These greeting cards by LadyLucas are seriously kawaii! I’m a big fan of food-themed greetings, of which there are many in the LadyLucas collection, and the Batty Birthday card is so fun – love that there are fangs on the balloon, too.

LadyLucas carries greetings for all sorts of occasions, and their Etsy shop features more kawaii illustrations in the form of art prints, a coloring book, and activity pages for kids.

Les Charlatans by Darling Clementine

Darling Clementine has done it again! Their new Les Charlatans collection, created for 1973, is completely awesome and so much fun. The sixteen cards features a collection of debonairly mischievous and utterly charming characters that would be right at home in an Hercule Poirot mystery. See all of the fun characters from the collection, and collect some for yourself, at 1973.

Just a few of Les Charlatans:

Smile Lifestyle Patterned Letterpress Cards

February 08, 2011 // kristen // 0 replies

I really like what Smile Lifestyle has done with pattern in their collection of letterpress animal cards. The use of different animal silhouettes to create the patterns on the cards is so clever, as are the cute greetings like “Love You Like No Otter” and “Owlways”, both of which would be great for Valentine’s Day. You can purchase cards individually, as boxed sets of the same design, or as an assortment of different cards from the Smile Lifestyle collection.
