Who to send it to: Someone you makes you feel a little squirrely, or someone who’s cute and fuzzy and knows that squirrels just want to have fun.
Ideas we scrapped in favor of this one: The chipmunk version’s cheeks were a little unflattering, the mouse version was a little mousy, the vole was too vole-uptuous and the mole was, well, you know.

The three winners from last week are (drum roll, please): Stephy-Lou, Phoebe and Lauren C! We’ll contact you next week to arrange sending your Biggest Fan card!
Design: Spring Chicken
Artist: Eunice Moyle
Inspiration: We trimmed our quills and made a lot of chicken scratch before we hatched this one.
Who to send it to: Even though Punxsutawney Phil disagreed yesterday— send it to the wise bird who knows spring is just around the corner, and that we’re all in the full bloom of our youth.
Ideas we scrapped in favor of this one: Another poultry card featuring a turkey— “Wattle I Do Without You?”— we agreed was little too wistful and weird. And the “I’m Too Chicken to Say I Love You,” was a bit too heavy to get off the ground.
Favorite detail: Chickens always look surprised, don’t they?
Why letterpress? All the better for the fine feathers and flourishes.

Who to send it to: Someone who puts the wind in your sails and makes your day fresh and light.
Ideas we scrapped in favor of this one: The “Space Heater” metaphor left us a little cold. And air-conditioners are simply not romantic.

Why letterpress? For vintage fans, only vintage presses will do.

Design: You’re Striking
Artist: Eunice Moyle
Inspiration: We couldn’t quite visually pin down the feeling of being bowled over, or dumbstruck by someone’s charms. So we had this spare design on hand and we let it roll.
Who to send it to: Any fine fellow who might be casually referred to as “The Dude.” Also, anyone you feel might be on your team or even a little out of your league.
Ideas we scrapped in favor of this one: The “Slam Dunk” card lacked the necessary romance and the baseball Valentine’s implications of “bases” didn’t exactly hit one out of the park.
Favorite detail: Love the sports jersey typeface.
Why letterpress? Letterpress lets the third shadow color shine through with the overprinting of pink and blue.

Who to send it to: Anyone named Frank, Oscar or Mayer, or any adorable little brat.
Ideas we scrapped in favor of this one: Though we don’t want to knock the knock-knock knackwurst joke card, writing chorizo jokes was a chore, brat jokes are the wurst, and the mortadella jokes left us mortified.
Favorite detail: We’re still snickering at the little casing end.
Why letterpress? Our list of links between fine pressmanship and fine sausage is more than a foot long.

Favorite detail: How fun to ring in the new year swinging on a pendulum!

Who to send it to: Maybe someone who’s wise to your size and style and has been gifting you long johns and long socks for a long while.
Ideas we scrapped in favor of this one: The “Snuggie Calisthenics” card lacked the necessary je ne sais quois.

Who to send it to: A certain Semite who’s got a soft spot for silly & sweet seasonal stationery.
Ideas we scrapped in favor of this one: We were thinking of a plate of potato pancakes leaping into a pan of olive oil and calling it Hello!Latke– but that dimly lit candle got “shamashed” out in a jiffy.
Favorite detail: Definitely the enigmatic “Yea!” on the flag.
Why letterpress? Wait’ll you see how great those dreidels look– letterpress is the tops!

Who to send it to: Some seasonal songbirds, an alto owl, a soprano sparrow, a mezzo mouse, or a baritone bear.
Ideas we scrapped in favor of this one: “Troll the Ancient Yuletide Carol” with a bunch of trolls in holiday garb was a little too Charles Addams-y.
