Summer Studio Stationers Letterpress Cards

September 12, 2016 // kristen // 0 replies

Designer and illustrator, Tom Froese, whose work I cannot get enough of, and Everlovin’ Press, whose portfolio of letterpress goodies is quite impressive (see what I did there?), have joined forces to launch an awesome, new letterpress stationery brand.

Summer Studio Stationers’ slightly quirky and totally gorgeous letterpress cards include greetings for everything from birthdays to new baby welcomes, but I have to admit that I’m having the overwhelming urge to get all of them and frame them as wall art. So, if you’re anything like me, then you might want to pick up a set for yourself and grab a second set for your walls!

Take a peek at the cards in the Summer Studio line below, and head on over to their shop to find out more.
