Darling Clementine Woodland card range

Posted on | Leave a comment

Darling Clemintine woodland

Darling Clementine have previously been celebrated on this site for their 1970s designs. So it's hardly a surprise that their new Woodland card range references that Seventies trend currently enjoying a revival in fashion, 70s folk. 

The cards are sold in sets of eight different designs. They feature all the motifs you'd expect like birds, flowers and leaves. The use of pinks, oranges and black, rather than the blues and greens you might expect, gives a contemporary edge to their look.

A set of the cards costs $35.

Sanna Annukka at nineteenseventythree

Sanna combo

We've featured many of the designs of Sanna Annukka previously on this site, both her products for Marimekko and things she's put out under her own name. Here's a new, affordable way to buy her work with the nineteenseventythree range. 

Greetings cards are the first products from the range to be released but it'll eventually include wrapping paper and postcards too. As evident from the cards shown, the designs all display Annukka's trade mark retro folk style, using the bird motifs we know so well. The cards are all made from 100% recycled consumer waste and use gold foil to add an extra bit of glitz to the otherwise restrained colour palette of the designs. 

The cards cost £2 each.

Obiko cards

From the De La Warr Pavilion to the Post Office Tower, Obiko's range of greeting cards includes many of the British buildings that regularly feature in various forms on this site. 

Obiko are a Hastings based company and their seaside location clearly has a strong influence on their designs. The buildings shown are actually part of a series called 'seagull sites'. Happily, they're favourites with us, as well as the gulls, and also show Battersea Power Station and Brighton's Palace Pier, amongst others. 

Each card is executed in the same delicate style and costs £2.90.

Lagom’s Alexander Girard greeting cards

Girard card

We're huge fans of the mid-century designs work of Alexander Girard here, though sometimes it's a little tricky to find affordable version of his work for sale. We featured these notecards quite a while back but unfortunately they no longer seem to be available. It's exciting news then that Lagom have been selected by the Girard estate to publish a range of greeting cards for sale in the UK. 

There are twelve attractive cards available which include reproductions of some of his best known designs. Each card costs £1.79 and apparently there's some gift wrap to follow. Watch this space…
