I’m totally digging these cute letterpress greeting cards from tj, a stationery and gifts store based in Sydney, Australia. The combination of super sweet and simple illustrations with understated hints of accent colors create darling greetings with a minimalist modern look.

Check out their full line of cards and paper goods right here, and these are just a few of my favorites:

Illustrated & Hand Lettered Cards from Help Ink

July 29, 2014 // kristen // 1 replies

There are so many wonderful greeting cards and other artful goods to be found at Help Ink, who donate $1 of every $5 to a charity of your choice. Current featured charities include Children’s Hunger Fund, Books for Africa, and MedWish. And the money that doesn’t go to charity is used for printing costs, artist compensation, and operating expenses.

A peek at some of the cards in the Help Ink shop:

The card designs, which range from birthday wishes to thank you notes, are created by an array of super duper talented artists and illustrators that include Lauren Hom (Daily Dishonesty), Karli Ingersoll, and Tommy Perez, whose Paper Cake birthday card (above, top) is one of my favorites. I love that he gives a behind the scenes look at the photoshoot for the card design, which is actually a handmade paper cake. So awesome!

Hello Flower Cards by Big Jon

July 16, 2014 // kristen // 0 replies

London-based Big Jon has some seriously fun and clever card collections in his shop – the description for his Palm Springs collection made me laugh out loud – and I’m digging the bold aesthetic of his new Hello Flower cards, which feature oodles of bright colors and eye-catching, naturalistic florals (very hot stationery trend alert!), along with a broad range of greetings. You’ll find everything from “happy birthday” to “thank you” sentiments in the collection and, unlike real floral bouquets, these are guaranteed to stay fresh for ages!

Letterpress Cards by Harry Diaz

July 14, 2014 // kristen // 0 replies

Los Angeles-based printmaker and illustrator, Harry Diaz, recently got the chance to acquire an old C&P Pilot press (lucky duck!), and he’s certainly put it to good use. His recent release of letterpress greeting cards and note cards is filled with bold, stylized illustrations that instantly caught my eye. I’m really digging the red, black, and gold color palette, too.

Here’s a peek at some of the paper goodies in Harry’s collection, and be sure to head over to his shop to see everything:
