You're the Pineapple of My Mai Tai

Apple of my eye? Boring. Put a little tiki behind it and you're on the right track. Drink it up here. 

Keep Blaming It On the Altitude

The next round of Denver/Colorado-inspired postcards. Find them locally or here if you're far away.

Hand-Fed Letterpress Cards

We say we're hand-fed letterpress for two reasons.
1. Like most letterpressers, we hand-feed all our cards one at a time into the press.
2. We pretty much only print food and booze related cards. Here are a few of them.

The center is where all the love lives. 

You're the Center of My Cinnamon Roll Letterpress Card. Grab one here.

Croissants are one of the most forgiving pastries. 

Sorry I was a Little Flaky Letterpress Card. Grab one here. 

Come on, it's happened to all of us. 

Glad You're Okay. Glad it was Just the Beets Letterpress Card. Grab one here.

Blame It on the Altitude Postcards

Whether you're just visiting or a native as they say, these postcards are basically Denver's officially stationery to be used for any correspondence leaving the city limits. After spending a day breathing in the thin air and baking under the intense sunshine, write a note to a friend and let them know that you are thinking about them as they miss out on all Denver has to offer. Plus, they double as coasters for your beer if you run into some writer's block. Find them in our shop and around Denver.

Give Someone Booze Tags

Booze doesn't require a lot of gift wrapping. Sure there's the tall, slender bag with rope handles that basically acts as a fancy brown paper sack. But once the booze is unsheathed and the bag is discarded, nobody will remember who gave them that booze and all booze credit will be lost. So don't make that mistake. Use these oversized letterpress tags to fasten tightly to your gift and securely say "I gave you the booze I'd want you to give me".

I Love You As Much As...Card

You know when you're writing an email or some other kind of correspondence and you find yourself saying something like, "I'd loved to get a pumpkin latte" or "We'd love to watch your dog for the long weekend"? Isn't that a bit aggressive for the word love? Well, maybe in the distant past you're about to be living in because this letterpress card will clarify exactly what kind of level of love you got in mind. Find the card/print in our shop and love it to pieces.

Jingle Bells Got Nothing on Holiday Noise Cards.

Continuing our collection of Noise Cards, we added two new ones for the holidays. Out of all the jingling holiday sounds we landed on the Little Drummer Boy and the Nutcracker...though not sure if we've every heard a nutcracker actually crack a nut. Those weak, painted wooden jaws are all show.

All our holiday cards this year are packaged in one of three letterpress boxes (all the more reason to purchase three boxes). Each back has two Make Any Gift Better Tags printed on it. Basically, gift tags that down play the true treasure that waits beneath ribbon and wrapping paper.

These cards, along with all our other holiday cards can be found in our Etsy Shop.

It's Gonna Get Loud

We just finished up two more Noise Cards for the collection. We're taking another swing (pun most definitely intended) at a piñata card. Maybe it's because we secretly wish more things were filled with candy. The second one is our first I'm Sorry card and there's no better noise for sorry than the deep gruntle sound for a foghorn.

Expect more Noise Cards on the way, but until then these can be found in our Etsy Shop.

Trumpet Noise Birthday Card

It's how a trumpet wishes you a Happy Birthday. What did you think it was?

This is the first release in our Noise Card Collection. Basically, it's just what it sounds like (excuse the pun): a bunch of fun cards all based on random noises. Look for more coming soon, but in the mean time you can find this one in our shop.

Gotta Go Card

Hey, sometimes you just gotta go. Saying goodbye is about as fun as using a port-a-potty. Whether it's saying farewell to a friend or having to dump that person you've been making out with for the past year, it's tough. This card makes it less so. Get your hand-sanatizer hands on it in our shop.

Father's Day Rerun

Come on, Dad love’s reruns. That’s why we reprinted this card honoring dad’s parenting skills. It’s called bonding over a beer. What’s wrong with that? Find the second run here.

Fruits of Your Labor Card

They grow up so fast. One day a poppyseed the next a full grown watermelon. This letterpress card is perfect for that friend or family in your life with a new little pumpkin. Cards are waiting in their cradles on our Etsy site.

Mom Thanks for Changing My Diapers Card

So stemming from our Minivan Mom Card, we realized there are a diaper-load of things we never thanked our moms for. Next in line, changing our diapers, of course. We don't know how it slipped our soft skull, tiny minds at the time. Either way, in the theory of better late than never, we letterpressed this card to let our moms, and all moms, know that we truly appreciated it (especially the baby powder), even if we didn't show it by spitting up on you afterwards. You can find the card safety pinned to our Etsy site.
