Letterpress Greeting Cards from Heart Swell

July 12, 2016 // kristen // 0 replies

From the dynamic lettering and cloud-like swashes that embellish their You Blow Me Away card to their sweetly hand lettered and copper foil stamped Marble Thank You cards, Heart Swell’s lovely line of letterpress greetings catch the eye in a more subtle way.

Their blend of darling, hand lettered sentiments and understated colors – navy, forest green, mid-gray, and old gold, with touches of copper foil (so pretty!) – comes together for a look that’s modern, sophisticated, and completely craveable.

Check out Heart Swell’s full line of cards, notepads, and more right here.

Patterned Origami Shirt Cards from Scout Editions

July 11, 2016 // kristen // 1 replies

Scout Editions’ Shirt Series is the perfect mix of pattern and origami, and I’m lovin’ every last fold! Each shirt design is first illustrated and printed as a risogaph. Then, the little shirts are individually hand-folded and mounted onto a card base. Designs in the series include Brights (shown above), with patterns that range from sweet, little pineapples to cherries and botanicals, as well as Pastels and Denims (selections shown below), which feature more subtle, wonderfully textured pattern designs.
