After a long day of pressing the cards by hand - we then add embellishments! Lots of tinting but sometimes adding a rhinestone or ribbon. And that’s before scoring, folding, packaging, and pricing.
There’s a lot of hand labor in every single piece of our stationery! It makes a difference and it’s worth it. With 300 designs in our catalog - we keep busy!
(Usually there’s music pumping but copyright on the socials is an issue.)

One of the many reasons I love blanks! Blanks - an industry term for cards with no words or greeting. It allows for the sender to be creative and opens the design to personal interpretation.
This design has been a party invite, a birthday, and even a drunken apology card. Smart, inventive folks love our paper and we love them!

It’s been a busy spring! And this holiday weekend we’re wrapping up this summer’s postcard collection for The Floyd Country Store! We designed, cast, pressed, tinted, and cut hundreds of cards…that will carry messages from Virginia all over the world. Available only at the iconic FCS in downtown Floyd, Virginia!

A wonderful project started over a decade ago - revisited for the Taubman Museum of Art’s spring Women’s Luncheon.
We letterpressed cards using the architect’s original sketch - ballpoint pen on a cocktail napkin! What a fantastic image…and a great table gift.
Coming soon to the Taubman’s gift shop!
