Eco Chic: Cardstock
Halloween approaches, signaling the start of the holiday season. Reduce your holiday carbon footprint through organization. Set Editions, founded by Alison Riley in 2004, offers several recycled and post-consumer lines of greeting cards.
Elegantly designed, often with a sense of humor, or refreshingly minimalist, examples of her letterpress cards on 100% recycled paper with 100% recycled kraft envelopes include “Joy,” the word printed simply in green with a festive border, “Happy New Year” in red with a hot water bottle, or for the aforementioned holiday: phobias – in an alphabetical list with definitions, and poisonous plants, illustrated.
Cardstock, a box of forty cards claiming to be “every card you need this year,” includes six birthday, two congratulations, two valentines, six thank you, two mothers and two fathers day cards, two sympathy, two anniversary, four blank, two get well, six holiday, and four new year cards with forty-two envelopes, all made of 100% post-consumer paper, in a youthfully pretty motif.
For the most patriotic among us, available only until November of this year, are twenty-five white cards in a black box, with red lettering spelling one word: vote.
