THINGS TO LOVE: HEARTFELT GREETINGS

Along with her very clever Daily Dishonesty blog, I really like Lauren Hom's "Greetings from a Broken Heart." The project is response to the question, “What would you say to the last person who broke your heart?”

According to Lauren, "This project documents some of the snappy one-liners I collected from my survey. Ranging from sad to angry, they are in the form of greeting and post cards to encourage people to say what's really in their hearts. What if you had one last chance to tell that person something? Would you wish them the best? Would you tell them to fuck off? Think about it."

I wish these were in print! I definitely would send at least one.

POSTMARK: CELEBRATE CINCO

Inspired by Papel Picado, our design of the week is festive and fun for the upcoming Cinco Celebrations. Papel Picado ("perforated paper") is a decorative craft made out of paper cut into elaborate designs. Although it is a Mexican folk art, papel picado is used as a holiday decoration in many countries. The invitation design elevates folk traditions into modern designs for your Cinco de Mayo party.

POSTMARK: FIESTA! FIESTA!

Use a Postmark Cinco de Mayo invitation to throw a festive party. The Cinco de Mayo designs pop with vibrant colors. Inspired by rainbow mexican blankets and saturated folk art, the designs bring pattern and texture to your next fiesta.
