Spring is a time for transformation - when everything outside is looking a little dull and dry, but you start to see spring blooms emerge, when the sun comes out after a particularly long winter - that’s what I wanted this collection to embody. The cheeriness and color of a fresh new season.

For spring, I wanted to expand our card range and specifically add a few more birthday cards to our offerings. I also added a couple of garlands to the mix that I’m really proud of and excited to add to our catalog. And the newest product line is gift tags - I offered some for Christmas, but they were a completely different style. I’m really pleased with how unique the spring gift tags are.

Spring Cards

Our collection of handprinted linocut cards designed for spring feature four different designs, full of springtime colors and elements. There are two cards to celebrate a special spring birthday, one to thank someone for their kindness, and even a more general card that could cover any of the bases.

Thanks a Bunch Card

A colorful thank you card with a bunch of delicate flowers.
This card incorporates five different blocks and three separate ink colors to make a dynamic print that is one of a kind.

Happy ‘Bee Day’ Card

This card is one of my favorites and the cheeriest of the bunch! Each card is printed using four different hand-carved blocks and three different ink colors to really make it pop.

Tiny Bees Linocut Card

This print uses two blocks for color variation and a repetitive pattern to give a feel of bees buzzing about. There’s a bit of “chatter” on this block- which is where pieces are carved away but still show a bit, I usually carve them down to reduce this, but in this case I felt like it made the bees look like they’re moving about, which really appealed to me.
I love how simple but versatile this card is - it’s a great one to keep on hand for last minute gifts and is suitable for birthdays (bee-days if you will), thank you notes, a quick letter to a friend, it’s great for anything.

Geometric Birthday Card

The geometric pattern on this card was inspired by quilt blocks - handprinted using four hand-carved blocks and three inks, I love the cozy, layered effect this card has.

Spring Garlands

I enjoyed making the heart garland for valentines so much that I thought some spring versions were in order. Here’s what I came up with!

Bow Garland

I think this garland would be perfect as a decoration for a girl’s room, for a party, bridal shower or baby shower - I just really see this as being a versatile use item. You could even use this for Valentines or Christmas, really!’
Hand-printed using an extra large hand-carved striped bow block with red ink on offset cut heavyweight cardstock.

Bees + Daisies Garland

The perfect springtime decoration - ten feet of cheery yellow and black bees and daisies, ready to decorate any space.
These would be great as spring decor around the house, in a classroom, or a kids room. Or use them to decorate for a spring bridal shower, baby shower, birthday or for Easter.

Spring Gift Tags

Another item added to our spring collection is a line of hand-printed gift tags. I offset cut the shape of each print on extra heavyweight cardstock, then print by hand with my hand-carved blocks. Each tag is a nice large size, ranging from 3.75”wide to 5”wide which allows lots of space on the back for your personal gifting message. Attach to a wrapped gift, a gift bag, or gift the packaged tags as a gift themselves!
