A. Favorite Design.
Monday, September 8th, 2008Cheerfully simple letterpress cards from Chicago graphic designer turned letterpress artist a. favorite (a.k.a. Amber Favorite). Vintage signs, typewriters, and wood block type are among the themes that pop up frequently in her charming line.
Via happy cavalier.
I facestalk you every day.
Monday, June 2nd, 2008O, 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, 2008I 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, 2008Loving 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!
Sweet sleep.
Wednesday, March 5th, 2008Dreams can only be sweet on these silkscreened linen pillows from Brooklyn-based Atsuyo et Akiko.

Earmark.
Friday, February 22nd, 2008Love 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 [...]
While we’re on the topic…
Wednesday, February 13th, 2008…a little more on the love theme from Caroline Colom Vasquez’s Austin studio, Paloma’s Nest. Here are a couple of her beautiful hand-formed, hand-stamped clay bowls. Gorgeous simplicity.
Up against the wall.
Monday, February 11th, 2008They won’t fit in an envelope, but these bold, to-the-point prints might be even better than a traditional valentine.
Dandy Star’s LOVE print, available here and here. (Via {frolic!}.)
Big, simple text somehow adds poignancy to Brooklyn-based design house I Am Still Alive’s letterpressed message, available here. It should come as no surprise that I [...]
Sorry, what did you say?
Monday, February 11th, 2008This 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, 2008Carry 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.
