cards

im looking at cards again today on P+P. starting with these simple, beautiful, organic designs by bookhou. this toronto based husband & wife team have been fairly well blogged lately, but i just had to show these cards. click here to see the full range of stationery, plus homewares.

contemporary

i love these wonderful cards from 1201 AM, especially the contrast between the cool graphic patterns of the background and the plain linear drawings of the birds. for me they manage to look cool, contemporary & smart, yet cute as well. 1201 AM is the work of graphic designer laurie forehand, and the brand name refers to the first minute of the day.
