A studio just outside Leeds
Funny, honest cards about real life.
Not the Instagram version of real life, the actual one. The highs, the lows, and all the shit we think but do not say out loud.
I am Ross, a print designer. I write the cards, design them and pack them myself, from a small studio just outside Leeds.
They are not for everyone. If you get it, you will get it straight away. If you do not, there are plenty of cards with flowers on.
Why they exist
It started in a card aisle, late, sweating, reading the same six sentiments in six different fonts.
Everything was either soppy, safe, or a pun about wine. Nothing sounded like one person talking to another person they actually know. So I wrote the ones I wanted to buy.
What they are made of
Thick uncoated card with real weight to it. No foil, no lamination, nothing shiny to hide behind.
Which means the colour sits in the board rather than on top of it, and the whole thing recycles cleanly. There is a longer answer about the board, the envelopes and the sleeve, if you want it.
Printed in Britain. Blank inside, so you can say whatever you like.
Less crap.
More craft.
Fifty-odd cards, all written here. Have a look at them, or say hello.
