There’s just something about these cards by Benjamin Lacombe. I’m drawn to the whimsical illustrations and touched by the tinge of sadness that the images evoke. Available from la marelle en papier.

Bunni Goods Storybook Notecards … And A Disturbing Discovery

May 29, 2007 // kristen // 0 replies

If you’re a sucker for vintage illustrations, bunni goods definitely has something for you. Their storybook notecards are fashioned from images featured in gently used children’s books and feature everything from bunnies and bears to snowmen running from something…perhaps a blowtorch? Kitschy-licious!

As I was browsing the bunni goods site, I couldn’t help but notice something a little unsettling about their Curious Dream card…

That’s totally Fergie! And, yes, I’m completely ashamed that I noticed this.

Fergilicious?

Gagatree 3-D Pop Up Cards

May 25, 2007 // kristen // 7 replies

Pop up cards are one of those things that still elicits a childlike response within me. So, naturally, I was filled with wonder and delight when I saw these beautiful 3-D pop up cards from Singapore based design group Gagatree’s Winter Garden collection.

The pop ups are not only appealing in form, but they also feature colorful Asian-inspired graphic elements, such as bunnies, cats, and butterflies. In addition to making a wonderful greeting card (thankfully, each card comes with instructions for spatially challenged people such as myself), the pop ups would also be the perfect gift wrap embellishment, gift ornament, or decoration.

Available for purchase in the US from Shopmodi.
