A Letterpress Christmas 2007 : Fugu Fugu Press

November 26, 2007 // kristen // 1 replies

Charming and oh so kawaii letterpress holiday cards from Fugu Fugu Press, a husband and wife team out of Pasadena, California. Alfie the snow dog looks quite content, and who can pass up friendly-faced chestnuts? Psst, even though Halloween has passed, you have to see their skeleton card. Brilliant design.

Clockwise, from top left: chestnuts, alfie, kobito elves, and happy hanukkah. $16.00 for a set of 8 of one design.

Charles Chocolates + Hello! Lucky Letterpress

November 19, 2007 // kristen // 0 replies

Chocolate is good. Letterpress is good. Put them together, and you have a match made in heaven. The people at Charles Chocolates were oh so smart when they saw the connection and created the option of having a Hello! Lucky letterpress card sent with your chocolate order. The packaging on their chocolate bars — with flavors like ginger, candied hazelnut, and mocha java — is pure eye candy, too!

As of now, it doesn’t look like they have holiday cards, but they have birthday, thank you, and get well options.

Whimsy Press Oh So Festive Gift Wrap

November 15, 2007 // kristen // 2 replies

Whimsy Press has so many ultra cool, colorful, sophisticated gift wrap designs for the holidays. I always love checking out the “wrapped” pictures — so inspirational:

Boughs of Whimsy Collection

Merry Little Something Collection

Snow Birds Collection

I’m also digging Whimsy’s Any Which Way Holiday Card Sets. Each set also includes stickers (yay!) with a variety of festive messaging that can be applied to the cards or envelopes. 28 stickers and 14 cards are $20.00 per set.
