Previously the sort of person who would buy greetings cards last minute and sometimes - gasp - a supermarket, now buying good quality cards is something I think to be a lovely gesture. Although I've had a stab at making some, it's not very easy to make them look good. In my eyes, there is nothing more beautiful than a letterpress greeting card. You know it's made with precision, skill and craftsmanship.
Here are a few of my favourites:
Plain note card by Austin Press
Congratulations card by Dutch Door Press
Thank You card by by Letterpress Delicacies
Mother's Day Card by Letterpress Delicacies
Daisy note cards by Meticulous Ink
Happy Birthday card by Sesame Letterpress
We Belong Together card by Hello Lucky
