Gold Foil Greetings by Tallu-lah

I get so excited when I see the new ways in which talented stationers are incorporating foil accents into their designs. Tallu-lah’s GOLD collection puts gold foil front and center, using the shine and shimmer as the main “color” element to create cards with an irresistible golden glow. Check out all of the available designs in the Tallu-lah shop.

Okay, how adorable are these cards from Darla Okada of Two Black Cats Studio? Yeah, they’re pretty darn adorable. The Cutie in a Teacup series includes hand trimmed cards featuring Darla’s sweet illustrations of little critters in teacups, and I’m digging her teacup designs just as much as the fuzzy bunnies and puppies that inhabit them!
