Lucky Friday # 59, Love You Bunches

Hello all you lucky folks out there! This is the 59th 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): Thom Watson, Sand and Ross Moody! We’ll contact you next week to arrange sending your Tea Time card.

Design: Love You Bunches Artist: Eunice Moyle Inspiration: We were dazzled by daisies and overcome by the rich colors of the cosmos. Who to send it to: If you don't know this one, then Mum's the word. Ideas we scrapped in favor of this one: The forget-me-not card was unfortunately fairly forgettable, the bouquet was just OK, and the pushing up daisies birthday card made us want to crocus. (ergh, so does that "joke-us".) Favorite detail: The striking gold sheen of the yellow and pink ribbon. Why letterpress? The depth with the overlapping color is subtle and sweet as baby's breath.

Don’t forget to post your comment and tune in next week, same time, different stationery, to see if you’ve won!

Lucky Friday # 58, Tea Time: Mother's Day

The three winners from last week are (drum roll, please): Katie J, Katie & Jessica@TWB! We’ll contact you next week to arrange sending your Peanut card. Design: Tea Time Artist: Esther Aarts Inspiration: The scent of bergamot on an Earl Grey kind-of-a day made us miss Mum's tea and her marvelous marmalade! Who to send it to: Well, whom else? All moms in flesh or spirit deserve a day's recognition. Ideas we scrapped in favor of this one:  The diapers idea was dear, but a little too funky/retro, and the Milk and Honey card made the men squirm. Favorite detail: Love how the teabag tag is personalized. Hrmm, that's a great idea, actually... Why letterpress? Make mom proud that she raised you to have such impeccable taste!

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.

Design: Mama Elephant

Artist: Eunice Moyle

Inspiration: Our awe and “awww” of elephants is all the inspiration needed.

Who to send it to:  Hmmm..  if you don’t know already, then Mum’s the word.

Our favorite detail: We love the mama elephant’s swirly knees and ears, and her pink toenails.

Ideas we scrapped in favor of this one: We thought of hippos, with a message saying “You’re one hip mama!” but then we were reminded of Disney’s Fantasia, and the tutus… hrmm.

Why Letterpress?  All mothers deserve the very best.
