Lucky Friday #62, Going Places

Hello all you lucky folks out there! This is the 62nd edition of our Lucky Friday Giveaway.  Each Friday we feature one of our letterpress greeting cards. We’ll choose THREE LUCKY WINNERS to get a free card.  Post a comment by 12 p.m. PST the following Thursday, and we’ll announce the winners on the following Friday!

The three winners from last week are (drum roll, please): Danyun, Nicky and Shannon! We’ll contact you next week to arrange sending your Champ card.

Design: Going Places Artist: Julia Rothman Inspiration: Julia's a REAL jet-setter—what more inspiration could she need? Who to send it to: A friend who's movin' on up, movin' on out and taking the high road. Ideas we scrapped: The original text went, "If you have a lot of baggage make sure, at least, that it's old and beautiful." Favorite detail: Adore the color combination— perfect for spring travel and new beginnings! Why letterpress? Old suitcases and typecases have much in common—they hold a lot more than you think, and both can easily become heavy as lead.

We’ll contact you next week to arrange sending your Barrow o' Bananas card.

Now for this week’s edition:

Design: Good Show

Artist: Eunice Moyle

Inspiration: Considering the artistic acrobatics and feats of strength, skill and endurance that go into putting on a Good Show, a fine card is a fitting reward.

Who to send it to: A lovely lion-tamer, a serious sword swallower, a truly talented trapeze artist, or a high-lonesome singer out on the circuit.

Ideas we scrapped in favor of this one: We thought of entitling it "Break a Leg," but that was too risky!

Favorite detail: The dainty, teeny feet of the daring, dashing trick rider.

Why letterpress? Why, no other method would suitably show the fineries of such a dashing an Edwardian equestrian.

Lucky Friday #11!

Now onto the eleventh edition of our weekly feature: Lucky Fridays! Each Friday we’ll feature one of our letterpress cards. Then we’ll choose THREE LUCKY WINNERS to get a free card.  Post a comment by 12 p.m. PST the following Thursday, and we’ll announce the winners on the following Friday!

The three winners from last week are (drum roll, please):

Ann, Kathy, and Jenny & Jimbob!

Heather will contact you early next week to arrange sending your Mama Elephant card.

Now for this week's edition:

Design: Wallowing Pig

Artist: Eunice Moyle

Inspiration: When it comes to making cute, punny cards about pigs, the sty’s the limit!

Who to send it to: Someone who’s happy as a hog in humus, and who’s out there bringin’ home the bacon!

Ideas we scrapped in favor of this one: Once we penned this little piggy, we felt the other ideas were a little too hammy, salty, or boorish.

Our favorite detail:  Love the slightly sloppy pink watercolor effect on the pig, and the concentric swirls of swill in his swine sty.

Why Letterpress? Flat printing would be such a boar.
