austin press

The elegant yet understated designs of these letterpress custom social cards are dazzling. They have an ethereal quality, and yet are entirely organic. Kimberly Austin's designs {of Austin Press} are whimsical and sophisticated, down to earth, and just plain lovely. I've got my eyes on those Lilly Holland cards, from her victorian stationery set.

Oh dear. It's all so exciting. I wish I could have out-of-the-ordinary business cards like those. Someday I'll find a reason. And those Lilly Holland cards -- they're a definite must.

I so love the idea of custom social cards - it would be fun to bring it back. These are just so chic and pretty. Love the ones that say Ivy Hu!
