I have to admit that I’m not a big fan of Valentine’s Day. Why do we need a special day to tell the people we love that we love them? However, I AM a big fan of awesome Valentine’s Day cards which, really, can be used any day that you’re in the mood to tell your sweet that you like them in the kissy kissy way.

Floral Wrapped Letterpress Cards

Floral Wrapped Letterpress Cards | The Hungry Workshop

They’re cards. They’re gifts. They’re totally cool! Wrapped Cards from The Hungry Workshop capture the idea that the sentiment is often just as important as the gift that you’re giving and that the simple act of giving a card can be a gift, in and of itself. These clever, gatefold cards are each “tied” with a bow and “wrapped” in a beautiful, Australian floral pattern letterpress printed in magenta + turquoise. Each card opens in the middle to reveal your message inside.

Available for purchase in a bundle of three or as single cards.
