Woodland Animal Hello Cards

February 11, 2013 // kristen // 1 replies

I’m always in need of more “hello” cards to add to my stationery stash, and I’m really digging these clever new woodland animal hellos from Bears Eat Berries.

The letterpress greetings feature elements of more traditional correspondence note design, including a classic black and white color scheme with bold woodland animal emblems (fox, bear, hedgehog, rabbit, deer, and squirrel). But the unexpected addition of whimsical, hand-lettered greetings inside each emblem is a fun surprise that makes this clever letterpress card set the perfect choice for anyone looking for “hello” notes with a whimsical, modern twist.
