In our opinion, one of the best parts about being a part of the maker community is that you get to see all kinds of neat things that other people create. We’ve always been amazed by letterpress printing, specifically letterpress printed cards. They’re simplistic, yet so witty and creative — making them fabulous additions to all gifts (they’re practically gifts in themselves)! With the start of the New Year, now’s a great time to stock up on birthday cards to give out throughout 2014. Here are 27 letterpress birthday cards that we found to be extremely clever.
