Ideas we scrapped in favor of this one:  “Hare’s Looking at You, Kid” with a Humphrey Bogart-ish hare regarding a baby goat— wasn’t sure where that one was going.
Favorite detail: Love how the flower stems show through the translucent fuchsia vase.

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.

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.

Why letterpress? All the better for the fine feathers and flourishes.

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.

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.
