Letterpress Address Cards from 1Canoe2

January 05, 2011 // kristen // 0 replies

It’s a new year, and for many people (including myself) this means a renewed effort to organize, organize, organize. 1Canoe2 offers a great option for organizing your addresses, phone numbers, emails, birthdays, etc. with this neato letterpress address card file set. The address cards look like little library cards, and I’m all about library card-ish looking paper goodies. Plus, the set comes with custom die-cut, letterpress printed alphatabs and an awesome oak box, hand built by a 1Canoe2 dad. How cool is that?

You can also pick up additional letterpress address cards right here.

A Happy Birthday card is available, too:

And I wish I would’ve discovered this shop earlier because they have some super cool holiday cards:
