Laser Cut, Nature-Inspired Cards

Nib & Tuck Laser Cut Nature Cards

Nib & Tuck, whose beautiful “Stained Glass” cards I featured last October, recently launched a new collection that will definitely catch the attention of nature lovers and laser cutting fans. The current designs in the collection include a pretty peacock (above), an eagle, a Canada goose, a dogwood blossom, and a wild salmon, all laser cut into raw and toothy 18 point chipboard. The thick and subtly rustic chipboard is a great compliment to the nature-themed laser cuts, which look fantastic cut into the thick chipboard.

Many more additions to this collection are planned for the coming year, and I know I’ll be keeping my eye on the Nib & Tuck shop to see what they will be!

The Fairy Tale Collection

Fairy Tale Collection

I am completely enamored with every single gorgeous card in Karolin Schnoor’s Fairy Tale collection. Each card is a little work of art and features Karolin’s evocative take on a classic fairy tale, and the letterpress printed cards feature rich, black ink, complimented beautifully by gold foil stamping. Cards are available individually or as a set, and I think that they would make a wonderful wall art grouping.
