Thanks Mom Bag card by a.favorite
Amber Favorite, is my new favorite. The Chicago designer turned letterpress artist has a hefty collection of Mother’s Day cards and they’re all clever and quite cute—some even a bit cheeky to boot. From Valuable Mom Bills to a Mom Rock Ticket, send one to Mom to remind her you’re her favorite. (And that she’s yours).
These are my favorites from a.favorite. Which is yours?

Hey pinners, time to jump all over this one. You remember our lovely friend Danielle, creator of The Jealous Curator? She was with us here on the blog back in December.
Well she’s collaborated with our friends at Blogstar and the awesome service Jack Cards for a contest that you’ll want to get in on.
Jack Cards, if you’re unfamiliar, is a service that helps you keep track of special occasions that are important to you and the cards you wish to send. It then sends you the cards addressed and stamped just in time to put them in the mail. So handy.
Danielle has designed the card above, but it still needs an inside message. Come up with something clever, pin the card, and add your suggestion in the description for your chance to win a year’s supply of birthday, thank you, and holiday cards! Pretty great, huh?
Visit Jack Cards for complete details on how to enter, and act quickly—the contest ends Sunday, April 15th.

Dichotomy Greeting Cards by Up Up Creative
Some days you can’t figure out exactly what to say, if left is right or right is wrong. Some situations you find yourself right in the middle, seeing both sides of something or feeling pulled in two directions at once.
These dichotomy cards are for those moments. They help you find a way to say what’s on your mind with opposite concepts that overlap in interesting ways. Like, “I love you. I hate that you’re leaving.”
I’ve had these fun notes dog-eared for a little while. I love the concept and the style but didn’t realize until recently that Up Up Creative's Julie Green is transitioning away from printing greeting cards. Ready for a dichotomy double-wammy? To sell through the line, they’re 50% off! But once they’re gone, they’re gone. Happy / sad.

My favorite part, aside from how ridiculously clever this DIY birthday idea is, is all the sweet notes written on the back! This would be a great way to get family and friends in on a simple but heart-warming birthday gift — kind of like this 60 years of memories idea — but with a little more pizzazz!

Beer Lover’s Handwritten Card by Sparrow Nest Script
Truth be told there’s a card about beer for almost every occasion. They celebrate love of beer, love bigger than beer, and the consequences of love after beer. Some even express get well wishes to a friend in such a sad state, he isn’t able to pour himself a beer. Tragic.
With a roundup of favorites, a toast to you. May your pints be green, your luck overflowing, and the rainbows end wherever you are. Happy Patty’s!

Our love for Tattly is no secret so when I heard about their new Valentine Card Sets my inner cupid started doing cartwheels. I mean, how adorable. How ridiculously perfect. It’s everything great about giving sweet little valentines, combined with everything fun about temporary tattoos, combined with everything awesome about Tattly’s creative designs.
Even though your love is forever, your tattoo doesn’t have to be.
Available in 8-packs and 24-packs, there are several lovable designs to choose from and multipack sets too, fully loaded with custom printed stickers and folding cards. Whether you order them for your kids to give their friends or you snag a couple for yourself, there’s no denying the fun for all ages that comes with wearing a message of love for the world to see.

On the road no more. O Holy Yes.
After a short stay in our new home town, we’re settled and happy for the next several weeks in our first home town, Dallas, TX.
2,370 miles, y’all. If I never see another expansive stretch of highway, big rig, or cow, I’d be okay with that.
Onward into the holidays! The air is crisp, the decorations are out—let’s do this.
Do you send Christmas cards? Cards for the New Year? Or Hanukkah, perhaps? They’re so fun to receive aren’t they?
One of my favorite collections this season is by Dear Hancock. With all this road tripping, they certainly seem a fitting choice. I simply can’t decide, are we more Corvette or more station wagon?
