Flora and Fauna Letterpress

I’m thoroughly enjoying all of the letterpress pretties from Los Angeles area letterpress shop, Flora and Fauna Press, who specialize in oh so pretty letterpress wedding invitations and greeting cards for all occasions. I’m loving the hummingbird card and the cute mustache Father’s Day card (both included below). You can check out their whole line at Flora and Fauna. Thanks, Christine!

I always say this, but I can’t believe that it’s Monday again already. This is the third straight day of constant rain and wind in the Boston area, and I’m a bit rain weary, but these cute Rainy Day letterpress cards from Letterpress Delicacies have been cheering me up. They’re available in tnree colorways: blue/silver, fuchsia/silver, and black/silver. Here’s to a great Monday, despite whatever inclement weather you may be experiencing!

Subtle Glances Letterpress

Today, I’m all aswoon over the portfolio of Subtle Glances, whose fantastic calling card design for photographer Jerry Yoon initially drew me to their work. Their letterpress wedding invitation work is quite stunning, and their love for what they do truly shows in the details. I’m also digging the monkey and banana birth announcements that they created — too cute! Here’s a little eye candy from the Subtle Glances portfolio:

Letterpress Paper House Kit

These new letterpress paper house kits from OneCanoeTwo look like so much fun. The first diorama kit in what will be a series (yay!) is called Chandler Lane, and it includes a background plus pieces for three houses, seven trees, and two corner tabs. I’m loving the attention to detail shown on each piece, including shingled rooftops, brick siding, and doorway and window detailing on the houses, and the landscaped grass, stone walkway, trees, and sky on the background piece. This kit would make a wonderful spring or Easter activity for both kids and adults.

Droolworthy Business Cards

// // 5 replies

I’ve had business cards on my mind lately, and there are so many fantastic concepts and designs floating around that I had to gather them up and do a roundup of some of my favorites. Bonus: I’m including a branding concept, too. Not technically a business card, but too cute not to mention. Here we go!

Business Card Design

Shown above, clockwise from the top:

* Business cards for Matteo Gastel by Cacao Design, printed on “pachica” paper, which becomes transparent when heated and embossed. Super cool, huh? – via FPO

* A business card that works like a mini house plant, growing alfalfa or cress when dipped in water. Designed by Jamie Wieck.

* Ultra modern letterpress printed cards, designed by Peter Gaillard and printed by Fresh Impression. Love the teal edge painting!

* Gorgeous die cut and letterpressed business cards for Vale of Enna by Truly Smitten. – via Oh So Beautiful Paper

* Love the light on dark, blind debossing, and metallic ink on the F5 Photography business cards by Device Design.

* A fantastically cute branding concept by Tad Carpenter for Yummo.

* Intricate lace illustration and “embroidered” lettering on Marian Bantjes’ business cards.

* Love the charcoal and yellow palette and aspen illustration on these letterpressed business cards by Dingbat Press for Light + Love Photography.

* More of that cool “pachica” paper on PataPri’s cute business cards.
