Christmas Card Roundup: Part 1.
I’ve already written out my Christmas cards. There, I’ve said it. It’s just that once Thanksgiving shows up everything seems to snowball, free time included. It’s all spent shopping for the perfect gift or attending yet another ugly Christmas sweater party. You know how it goes, I know you do.
But I always feel a touch of remorse once I see all of the beautifully designed holiday cards, so I bookmark them all for possible lovelies to send out next year. And of course, to share with you all. Over the next three days I’ll be posting a three-part roundup of cards from my very favorite shops. (Note: I’ll only be posting one per shop, so if you like what you see click on the link to check out more!) I hope you enjoy them as much as I do and maybe even find the ones you just have-to-have!

Hello Lucky Halloween Cards.
Hello Lucky did a great job merging retro and modern design in their series of Halloween cards. Think I might purchase one to frame and bring out as my Halloween print every October!

Heidi Burton Halloween Postcards.
I found these awesome off-the-wall Halloween postcards by Heidi Burton a few weeks ago and have been dying to share. They embody exactly what October 31st is all about: embracing your quirkiness and bringing out your inner wild child! Her shop is closed until October 8th, but be sure and stop by to check everything out once she returns.

Red Cap Cards.
I love the fun illustration styles the artists at Red Cap Cards use on their cards. Some are downright Tim Burton-esque, which is awesome. Johnny Depp would totally endorse these.
