March 10, 2009 // kristen // 0 replies

Shannon Lowry’s pretty letterpress cards not only feature whimsical, modern bird illustrations, but they’re made with plantable handmade paper embedded with wildflower seeds. So, when you give a card from Round Robin Press, you’re giving an eco friendly greeting and the gift of something to grow. – via 2Modern

Single cards are $6.00, and multi-card packs range from $20.00 to $36.00.

Rabbit by Klaus Haapaniemi

I first spotted Wilkintie last week through a feature on Etsy, and I was instantly taken with their wonderfully whimsical letterpress prints.

Rolling Contrivance by Merijn Hos

Circus by Chamo

Wilkintie is a project by Melbourne, Australia based Carly Hargreaves and Niels Oeltjen and is a collaboration between the couple and amazing artists that they discover in their day-to-day lives. Prints featured at Wilkintie are inspired by pictures and stories from childhood and feature the works of super talented illustrators like Klaus Haapaniemi, Chamo, and Merijn Hos. A new print is released monthly, so keep your eye out for more lovely creations.

I’m really enjoying these letterpress note card sets from Paisley Dog Press. I love the sweet background patterns that match the foreground illustrations — honeycomb for the bee, carrots for the bunny, and acorns for the squirrel — and orange, yellow, and gray are such hot colors right now! $16.50 for a set of six of a single design at Paisley Dog’s shop.
