Office Supply Inspired Greeting Cards from A. Favorite

April 27, 2015 // kristen // 2 replies

I know that I can’t be the only one reading this who had a bit of a thing with office supplies as a kid. One of my favorite things to do when I was little was to hang out at my grandpa’s desk and look at all of the cool office supplies that he had. Paper clips fascinated me, and I loved leafing through his receipts and ledgers and pretending to write very important memos on his legal pad.

So, not surprisingly, I was totally giddy when I spotted the new, office supply-inspired letterpress cards from a. favorite. A birthday card that looks like a tardy admission slip? Check. A ledger paper-inspired congratulations card? Yes, please! An anniversary card that looks like a manila folder? Um, awesome!

Here’s a peek at some of the card designs, and be sure to head over to a. favorite design to see more of this clever collection, which is perfect down to the last little 3-hole punch detail.
