Heather will contact you early next week to arrange sending your Ukulele Monkey card.

Onto our Easter greeting card edition:

retroeasterweb

Design: Retro Easter

Artist: Sarah Labieneic

Inspiration: Swingin’ sixties wallpaper, Easter egg hunts at Grandma Bianca’s wood-paneled suburban bungalow, croquet on shag Astroturf, milk-glass plates of divinely deviled eggs, crepe paper, wicker baskets, and spring!

Who to send it to:  Any of your circle of Peeps— the hippest hippity-hops or the funkiest chickens you know.

Ideas we scrapped in favor of this one:  We put all our eggs in one basket and decided to go with this most egg-cellent idea.

Our favorite details: the eggshell texture of the card stock and the robin’s egg blue hue.

Why Letterpress? We can print the prettiest pastels in letterpress!

Don’t forget to add your comment and check back next week to see if you’ve won!

Onto this week’s offering:

Ukelele-Monkey2

Design: Ukulele Monkey

Artist: Eunice Moyle

Inspiration: From A Thousand Clowns, 1964, one of the best ukulele moments on film, pardon the poor quality:

Who to send it to: Your Hawaiian honey, your eccentric ukulele loving uncle, your cute cuatro-playing friend from Caracas, or anyone who’d love a plucky hand-puppet wearing plumeria.

Our favorite detail: Frankly, the frangipani flower is so poi-fectly Polynesian.

Ideas we scrapped in favor of this one: We considered a Christmas card that said Mele Kaliki-monkey, but we didn’t want to get that song stuck in everybody’s head (*wink*)

Why Letterpress? All primates go ape over letterpress + sock simians have never been so stylish!
