- cards with a difference
bright bulbs & merry flakes bamboo christmas cards purchased from
I found these christmas cards in Biome yesterday and it’s a pretty sure bet we’ll be heading back in to pick up more. The designs are very sweet and printed on eco-friendly sustainably harvested bamboo, this was my idea for new business cards for myself for quite a while but the company I was going to have make them didn’t have bamboo quite this thin. They are made in the USA thought… so a lot of the friendliness to the environment is probably cancelled out by however they got into the country, but still a great design and idea.
The first card just made me smile, I think I’ll give it to a friend who has been joking lately that she’s “just a ray of fucking sunshine” :D I know it’s not a sun :) but it’s such a sweetly happy sunshiney card that it will make her laugh, also she’ll appreciate the differentness of the card.
It’s when presented with situations like these I wish I had the opportunity to take more hand lettering and typography subjects while studying, I’m not too bad but my styles are limited. Last year I took an illustration and fine drawing class externally, so this be the year of photography and hand lettering classes :)
