Valentines
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. Via Black*Eiffel.
I could just eat them up.
Friday, February 1st, 2008They’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.
Paper loves you.
Wednesday, January 30th, 2008More charming valentines to choose from, this time from two designers new to me. First up is Brooklyn-based Paper + Cup, founded by husband and wife team Truman and Minhee Cho. I like these vintage-style silhouettes, made modern. The two cards below are available at Luxe Paperie, and even more fresh items are available at [...]
Check one.
Wednesday, January 23rd, 2008Here 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 [...]
More paper love.
Monday, January 21st, 2008Even more valentines to give and hope to receive… From Snow & Graham, cupcake (I am sensing a theme) and hibiscus motifs. A little negativity is allowed on Valentine’s Day, and Egg Press lets you to indulge with this silly skunk. I also like the simplicity and clean lines of these two designs, also from [...]
Say that you love me.
Friday, January 18th, 2008I’ve been so busy these last few weeks that I only just realized there is less than a month until Valentine’s Day. This means an abundance of sweet greetings, the best of which I’ll continue to post until the 14th (along with printable ones of my own, of course, which are in the works). It [...]
