Meet Mimosa Cards on Etsy ~

Mimosa Cards is all about cute and simple greetings and stationery! They’re based in NYC and offer blank note cards, thank you notes and greetings for special occasions that are hand drawn and printed to order.

All of Mimosa’s designs have plenty of white space, and I especially love the geekery section! The recipe cards, for example, are clever and funny with “encouraging” message such as, “You won’t burn it. This time.”

Meet Kathy Hiscox of Navy Blue Notes on Etsy ~

If you’re looking for your standard Hallmark sentiments, Navy Blue Notes isn’t for you. But if you appreciate clever, snarky humor like I do, these handmade cards will be much more your style!

Kathy creates cheeky greeting cards that are printed individually on FSC certified stock using archival inks, and the envelopes are made from 100% post-consumer recycled paper. Each card has a funny letterpress-style graphic and sentiment on the front, while the inside remains blank for your own messages.
