Aren't you cheeky

Wine and olives.

Friday, July 4th, 2008

An excerpt from a recent gchat (as you can see, we apparently think about food all workday)…
11:28 AM Melissa: i am brainstorming for our date
11:37 AM Melissa: i was thinking rustic kitchen because they have amazing olives
11:39 AM me: ooo
you just said the magic words
11:41 AM Melissa: ding ding ding
Several hours later…
4:30 PM Melissa: actually [...]

I facestalk you every day.

Monday, June 2nd, 2008

O, the world we live in… This is based on a gchat I actually had. I’m guessing this speaks to more people than would readily admit it.

To send this to a stalkee, you’ll need:

4-bar folded cards in Superfine White
my card-sized printable design

Or, if you’d prefer to print to a standard-sized sheet and cut [...]

Par Amour.

Friday, May 30th, 2008

I heard from Basak Miller earlier this week, telling me about her new line of greeting cards, T-shirts, and totes at the New York-based Par Amour Designs. Originally from Istanbul, Basak combines her interests in screenwriting and graphic design in these cheeky yet elegant cards (and you know I like a little sass in [...]

Uncooked.

Friday, May 2nd, 2008

Loving the raw (no pun intended) absurdity of these well-intentioned but half-cocked captions floating above cheerfully wavering graphics - especially the Mother’s Day card (lower right) from the now four-year-old, New York-based Uncooked.

Check out their online shop for many more!

Zeichen Press.

Friday, April 25th, 2008

Fran Shea emailed me about her and business partner Jen’s line of greeting cards, coasters, and “can cards” over at the Minneapolis-based Zeichen Press, and I’m loving the quirky and matter-of-fact messages. Come on, “I’m glad you’re having a baby and I’m not”? (I think we can all secretly relate.)
Zeichen Press’ products are [...]

Tongue in cheek.

Monday, March 24th, 2008

I always appreciate a little wink-wink irony, and I’ve found it in PolYesterday’s “Insert Artwork Here” print. Does this remind anyone else of this cheeky Magritte?

Via Design for Mankind.

Earmark.

Friday, February 22nd, 2008

Love the varied styles of paper goods over at Earmark - I’ve found everything from sweet to cheeky to vintage to classic. Here is a sampling (and obviously, I’m nursing a soft spot for the Geek Love notecard).

Check out their Etsy shop here, or take a look at their website for more information on [...]

Sorry, what did you say?

Monday, February 11th, 2008

This is genius. Seriously. I don’t have any further commentary.

Inexplicable naughtiness available singly or in sets of six cards from BellaMuse.

Spontaneous adoration.

Monday, February 11th, 2008

Carry these around in your back pocket, and you’ll never again be caught empty-handed when you need to dash off a quick… love note? (Well, you never know!) Check out the cute message on the package. Available at Greer Chicago.

Via Black*Eiffel.

I could just eat them up.

Friday, February 1st, 2008

They’re that cute.
A quickie but a good one for Friday: letterpressed blobs and grinning sea monkeys in love from Chicago-based Erica Barraca’s littlepretty.

Via Paper Crave.

If you’re going to be bitter about it…

Monday, January 28th, 2008

..then at least make it look pretty. Check out Chicago-based Paper Stories‘ collection of five Bittersweet letterpressed greeting cards, with notes like “Thanks… for nothing” and “You just suck the life out of me”.

The cheekiness of these cards reminds me of Cake and Milk’s “retarded” card - love it!
See more in their Etsy shop [...]

Check one.

Wednesday, January 23rd, 2008

Here it is - a printable valentine with a young-at-heart message but a grown-up look, available in pink and red. Send it or slip it into someone’s desk just for fun - or to press the issue with the most evasive of suitors.

To print this to a #10-sized card, you’ll need:

#10 flat cards in [...]
