Typoes Happen Letterpress Eraser Card

September 14, 2010 // kristen // 3 replies

Okay, how brilliant is this Typoes Happen letterpress eraser card from a.favorite? So clever, and if I weren’t already a huge a.favorite fangirl, then this card would’ve made me one. The card, which looks remarkably like a Pink Pearl eraser, also contains a great sentiment. We all make mistakes, and we just need to be easier on ourselves when we do and “move on”. Love that!

Dude and Chick Letterpress Birthday Cards

September 13, 2010 // kristen // 0 replies

Hee! I’m getting a kick out of the line of letterpress greetings from St. Paul, Minnesota based letterpress studio, Dude and Chick. All of the cards from “DNC” are designed, illustrated, and printed in-house by John Gurtin and Katie Wilson, the duo behind Dude and Chick, and I’m loving the humor and style in their cards. Here are some of my favorite birthday greetings from their shop:

Astronauts

Hootie

Frickity Frack

Steppin’ Out

Cake Eaters

Grow Crazy

Navy Blue Notes Greeting Cards

September 09, 2010 // kristen // 5 replies

I’m always up for a little snark, and Kathy from Navy Blue Notes had me the moment she told me that she likes to inject a bit of twisted humor into every greeting that she creates. The Navy Blue Notes shop features cheeky greetings that are meant to give you a little smile and a chuckle on the roller coaster that is life, and the humorless, well, the cards are simply meant to antagonize them. And who doesn’t enjoy antagonizing the humorless? It’s just so easy, but make sure that they don’t have a baseball bat or a fly swatter or something when you antagonize them. That could get ugly.

The Social Type Letterpress Birthday Cards

September 07, 2010 // kristen // 2 replies

Do you remember the utterly swoonworthy baby congratulations cards that I featured the other week? Well, The Social Type, creators of said swoonworthy cards, has been adding more ultra awesome letterpress + foil stamped goodies to their shop lately, including an array of fantastic birthday greetings. Is it wrong that I want to buy pretty much every card in their shop and keep them for myself? Maybe I could buy two of each, so it wouldn’t be so difficult for me to part with one set.

Cheeky Faces Letterpress Cards

I’m loving these oh so kawaii Cheeky Faces letterpress cards! The collection is the result of a collaboration between Joie Studio and Shop Toast, and the cards are so cute that they’re certain to cheer up anyone who receives one. I love the blind debossed, quilted texture on the cards, too, which is a great, unexpected detail. Cheeky Cheery Faces include Rosy Cheeks, Yum Yum, Squeals, and Bright Eyes. The Cheeky Cheeries can be purchased individually or together as a set, and Sad Sorry is also available for times when you need to, well, say you’re sorry.
