Robert Tew
by Big Wheel Press

This gold foil, letterpressed card featuring fireflies escaping a mason jar reminds us that it takes courage to let go of the things we cannot change with words from author Robert Tew. We love the deep navy mason jar and twinkling gold foil fireflies from this Big Wheel Press creation. Big Wheel Press was founded by Bill Muller in 2006. Its name comes from the first press Bill owned - a Pearl #14 with a large cast iron flywheel. Big Wheel Press continues to use traditional letterpress techniques to craft quirky cards with a vintage flair.

Mary Poppins
by Sugar Paper

Letterpressed and gold foiled, this Sugar Paper card is sophisticated, glamorous, and perfect to send to anyone! Remind someone their impossible dream is possible with these hopeful words from Mary Poppins! In 2003, the ladies of Sugar Paper started tinkering with a letterpress and helping friends put beautiful paper in the mail. As each bespoke piece was sent, more and more people inquired. At a time when the world was steadfastly headed online, they took a risk and stayed focused on building a business offline, making beautiful, tangible things by hand that would far outweigh anything in the digital space.

Helen Keller
by Paper Baristas

Send or frame this card from Paper Baristas with the reminder that our most precious things are felt in the heart. Write a message on the back of this card for someone dear to you, and the work of art capturing Keller’s words is ready to be hung or framed or tucked away to be re-read on another day. The crisp letterpress of the words and the softness of the paper make this card a true work of art. Paper Baristas love textures, letterpressing, sustainability, coffee and people. Each paper is made from upcycled cotton rags that were going to be tossed out by the garment industry, and Paper Baristas is also actively fighting to end human trafficking around the world with every purchase of a Paper Baristas card.

Keep this clean white palette or cover with your favorite stickers from Postmark’d Studio, this journal is just the right size to keep on hand. The story of Blackwing is also one worth celebrating! Blackwing pencils were used by award-winning creators throughout the 20th century. Despite a cult following, they fell victim to cost cutting measures in the 1990s and were discontinued, but not forgotten. Analog-minded devotees began paying as much as $40 for a single pencil! The brand was acquired in 2010 and returned to the market for artists and everyday people who desire top of the line tools for their craft. Use your Blackwing pencils and enjoy the luxurious difference!
