Holstee Manifesto Cards by Yoko
There’s a good chance you’re among the tens of millions who crossed paths with Holstee’s Manifesto in the last year or two.
Maybe you read the poster or you watched this video. If it missed you, then lucky me to be the first to share this with you.
Our friends and good-life ambassadors at Holstee recently collaborated with designer Yoko Sakao Ohama to create a set of four greeting cards that capture treasured nuggets from the Manifesto.
If one thing is certain of such inspiration—it should be shared. Thanks, Holstee for another beautiful way to do so.

In addition to these new gems, the Manifesto is also available on a card in it’s entirety. All the cards are blank inside, “making them an open canvas for any occasion.” Especially fabulous as a New Year greeting, don’t you think?

And because we will never tire of videos about creativity, printing, and process, here’s a look at how the Manifesto cards and posters are printed:

Summertime Desk, Surfer’s Desk
We’ve got double the love for Dear Hancock this week. Their whimsical, hand-painted stationery collections are always a Wantist favorite (remember these holiday gems?) and recently their Desk Collection had me smiling.
A Summertime Desk? Now there’s a desk I can get behind.
The Gardener’s Desk, Music Lover’s Desk, Baker’s Desk, The Artist’s Desk
Boxed sets make great gifts, or if penning one yourself the notes put a fun spin on a letter from the desk of, yours truly. Wherever you may sit.
Palm Tree, Tennis Ball, Flags Summer Cards by Gold Teeth Brooklyn

Shot Glass Card by Fifty Five Hi’s
Birthdays and whiskey shots, they have a funny way of showing up on the same day don’t they?
Whether to toast another year or to forget just how old you really are, a shot of something strong usually does the trick. Fifty Five Hi’s has created a card to help you do both.
This birthday card has a pop-out origami shot glass in it. It really works. No, I’m not kidding. Watch the video:
It was a moment of genius the day Ross created this thing. Needless to say the first set sold out super quickly, but the second batch is set to ship next week.
Ross Moody is the one-man-band behind Fifty Five Hi’s, a design driven collection of greeting cards, art prints, desktop wallpapers, and more. Such greatness!

God Only Knows card by Ashkahn
It made my day to stumble across Ashkahn’s cards at Aldea recently. It was the neon that got my attention (such a sucker for it) and the Beach Boys lyric that made me take the card up top home with me.
The eccentric artist from Silverlake, CA creates a collection of cards and gifts that are as suggestive and sassy as Ashkahn is in this photo. They’re hilarious.
The photos in his shop hardly do justice to the cards with the neon punch, but rest assured they lovey, fun, and practically glow in the dark! I’ve rounded up a some favorites here for you.
The top image is my own, with the hope of giving you a better idea of the letterpressed fluoro ink. Rather then stamped and sealed, this one’s going in a frame for the Mister. Perhaps I need a couple more for a proper arrangement.
What about you? Do you ever display greeting cards as works of art?

Awesomer card by Amy Ferguson for Jack Cards
Okay, so remember this fun contest with The Jealous Curator and Jack Cards? Well more bloggers are getting in on the card—designing action and this newest from our friend Amy Ferguson (remember her here?) is so up my alley. Love it in every way. The inside reads, “Happy Birthday! (And by the way, you look fabulous).” So true.
See other cards in the blogger collection and read what’s inside (including sfgirlbybay‘s winning and hilarious inside message of the aforementioned contest) over on Blogstar.
