I was delighted when Alicia from Adelaide, Australia based Akimbo sent over these cheeky fun cards from her new Regency Collection, which features a variety of greetings that meld Victorian illustration and elegant type with 21st century acid bright color. The new cards are available via Akimbo’s Etsy shop, where you can pick up one for a specific occasion or pick up a bunch to give as a gift set.

A Letterpress Christmas 2010 : Starshaped Press

December 01, 2010 // kristen // 1 replies

This year’s lineup of new letterpress holiday cards from Starshaped Press is, simply put, beautiful. Available greetings include gatefold-style, Art Deco-inspired cards, created from Starshaped’s vast collection of 20s and 30s era typefaces and ornaments, which were used to hand-build both the type areas and imagery for the cards.

Letterpress cards from the Ornamental Holiday Collection feature intricate pattern and imagery, also created by hand with ornaments from Starshaped’s studio. Amazing stuff!

The intricate pattern and bold typography in Starshaped’s new letterpress holiday photo cards are absolutely swoonworthy, a perfect compliment to your favorite family photo. These beautiful cards can also be personalized for an additional fee.
