SEASON'S GREETINGS DEER

The handmade seeded paper is a unique touch, and I love that the card itself can be planted after the holidays. The A2 size is perfect for a short message without feeling too small in the kraft envelope.

The seeded paper has real texture and little flecks in it, so the deer design looks almost letterpress. I sent a few to my cousins with blank insides and wrote our own notes — the kraft envelopes feel sturdier than the flimsy ones cards usually come with.

I'm weirdly excited to plant this card after the holidays instead of tossing it. The kraft envelope feels sturdy and the blank inside means I can actually write a real note, not just sign my name. Zero plastic in the packaging was a nice surprise too.
