Spring Olive Cheeky Phrase Cards

I’m completely digging the new Cheeky Phrase Cards from Spring Olive. The fun letterpress greetings feature phrases like “You Rock”, “Chin Up”, and “Howdy” and are a great, more informal way to let friends and family know that you’re thinking of them. I just love the combination of hand lettered phrases and ornate pattern on kraft stock in this pretty (and fun!) collection. More cheeky eye candy:

Lulu Dee Letterpress Greeting Cards

September 15, 2010 // kristen // 2 replies

I’m completely jazzed about the new line of letterpress greeting cards from Los Angeles, CA based design and letterpress shop, Lulu Dee. Laura Carignan, the one woman design powerhouse behind the shop, takes her inspiration from mid-century modern design, vintage cartoons, and nostalgic song lyrics (Lionel Richie and Kool & the Gang – love it!), and the results are seriously neato.
