Lucky Friday # 41, Caroling Creatures
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!
Lucky Friday # 39, Woodland Cheer!
Hello all you lucky folks out there! This is the 39th 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):
Jessica, Liz and Ruth Whispell!
We’ll contact you next week to arrange sending your Good Luck card!
Now for this week’s edition:
Design: Woodland Cheer Artist: Eunice Moyle Inspiration: Furry and feathered friends found in folk art. Who to send it to: Fine craft aficionados who squirreled away fun Etsy finds and generously sent them your way for the holiday. Ideas we scrapped in favor of this one: A bunch of naïve, outsider art renderings of folk instruments reading "Close enough for folk music!" Another with a just big acorn, reading "Wanna hear acorny joke?" Favorite detail: We heart the squirrel love. Why Letterpress? Dingbats/Typographic ornaments are sometimes called "printer's flowers." Wonder if there are any printer's acorns?
Don’t forget to post your comment and tune in next week, same time, different stationery, to see if you’ve won!

New Custom Holiday Cards!
We are super excited to announce the launch of our new custom holiday cards! They've been a long time coming, but we finally did it! Yea!
Thanks to digital print technology, we've been able to design fun, colorful photo cards that look and feel about as great as our letterpress cards! All the designs are printed on nice-n-thick 100% recycled paper (we don't even offer a non-recycled option, no sir!).
For all you newlyweds, they can double as wedding announcements (or be adapted to photo save the dates)!
Our classic letterpress holiday card designs are also available in custom versions -- either digitally or letterpress printed. Woo hoo! (Note - as of this writing, letterpress prices aren't up on the site yet, but check back in a couple of days!).
Special offer for our blog readers -- enter the promo code HLBLOG10OFF to get 10% off your order! Expires 10/31/09.
