It’s a birthday bonanza here at ye olde print shop. Another new piece for the NSS. Four colors no less, and commensurately difficult (expensive) to make. But I think it looks pretty nice. We’ll be in Booth #1950, so do drop on by if you’re in the area.

One of my favorite rites of spring is watching the Dogwoods (Cornus florida) flower. As a kid, they were everywhere here in the mid Atlantic and are an indigenous plant to boot. Sadly, a virulent fungus is slowly decimating the population so here’s our effort to keep those fond memories alive. Printed with a light touch, there’s plenty of texture without the currently fashionable crushing of the paper. This is printed on Crane’s Lettra 100% cotton paper and accompanied by an envelope of same manufacture and material. Size is 4.25″ x 5.5″ and is top folded with a blank interior. #2506
For Freud, everything was about your mother. Right or wrong, his philosophy is ingrained in our collective psyche. We printed this on French Paper’s Muscletone, a favorite paper stock for very precise detail. It’s also really “green” so we can publicize it with de rigueur claims of being responsible earthlings. Not just for Mother’s Day, this card is great for communicating with Mom 24/7/365. #6310
This card started life as a personalized notecard. We think it stands on its own as a stock (depersonalized?) card as well. We didn’t “knock out” where one color overlaps another, which is our usual practice. The effect here of two somewhat transparent colors overlapping makes a new one (in this case turquoise, which, if you buy into this kind of thing, is said to be the cool color for this year!).
