Hello!Lucky
Letterpress greeting cards, thank you notes, DIY projects, free printables and craft inspiration.
This week Max is working hard and printing all of the upcoming trade releases for 2012. Along with Eunice's and Anna's fun and beautiful new designs, we have an armful of great new cards from our friends and favorite designers: Esther Aarts, Lab Partners, and Julia Rothman.
Hello all you lucky folks out there! This is the 41st 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, Theo and Jaime! We’ll contact you next week to arrange sending your Christmastime card!
Now for this week’s edition:
Design: Caroling Creatures Artist: Eunice Moyle Inspiration: The creatures were inspired by the spirit animals of a handful of the Hello!Lucky cohort who went Caroling around SOMA one season— we'll never say hoo is hoo! Who to send it to: Some seasonal songbirds, an alto owl, a soprano sparrow, a mezzo mouse, or a baritone bear. Ideas we scrapped in favor of this one: "Troll the Ancient Yuletide Carol" with a bunch of trolls in holiday garb was a little too Charles Addams-y. Favorite detail: The songbooks are in British English. Shout out to H!L UK! Why letterpress? All our woodland friends (and spirit animals) appreciate the sustainable papers and print methods we use in our letterpress cards.
Don’t forget to post your comment and tune in next week, same time, different stationery, to see if you’ve won!

This week's feature:
Design: Stinky Skunk
Artist: Eunice Moyle
Inspiration: Pepé Le Pew, but of course, mon amour, with a whiff of swinging sixties baroque
Send it to: Who knows? The Shadow knows!
Our favorite detail: The concentric smoke rings of skunk funk, and the innocent expression on the striped perpetrator.
Ideas we scrapped for this one: We rejected a couple of Skunk drafts that were a little too ripe.
Why letterpress? A tactile letterpress card can make even the coldest heart a little scent-imental.
Remember to post your comment and check next Friday to see if you've won!
Last night we attended a book signing party for The Exquisite Book, a project headed by the lovely Julia Rothman. We were honored to be asked to participate in the book (see Eunice's contribution here). The signing took place at the ever fabulous Rare Device.
Eunice was on hand to sign books with her trusty companion Jude (trying to take credit for her hard work! Some people....).
The party hosted a live drawing event featuring contributing artists Caitlin Keegan, Kelly Lynn Jones, Susie Ghahremani,Tom Neely, Lorena Siminovich and Lisa Congdon.
Eunice adds her signature hot dog!
