A Letterpress Christmas: Elum Designs

November 06, 2006 // kristen // 0 replies

Elum has some wonderful letterpress cards for this holiday season. I’m loving the menagerie of winter hats, the whimsical snow flurry, and the cute holiday dachshund cards. Each design is $12.00 for a set of six.

Photo frame cards are big this year, and Elum’s entry in the arena is just fantastic. The palette is rich and dark, so unique for a holiday card. $12.00 for a set of six at Elum.

Stay tuned over the next several weeks for “A Letterpress Christmas…” posts!

Roger La Borde Holiday Cards from Kate’s Paperie

November 01, 2006 // kristen // 0 replies

I’m absolutely in love with this beautiful holiday card from Roger La Borde. Not only is the color scheme subdued and unique for a holiday card, but the scale (tree vs. desert vs. three kings) is so striking and unusual. I also appreciate that a more traditional image (the three kings) is presented in such a modern way. Available in sets of 10 for $15.00 at Kate’s Paperie.

These cards by Argyle Academy are hilarious! The endearing illustration style drew me in, and mummy, wolfie, x-ray, and vampy’s “character descriptions” have me laughing out loud. Perfect to give to anyone who needs a good laugh or loves cute illustrations, the hand silkscreened greeting cards are available on white or natural paper for $4.00 each or $10.00 for the set.
