I purchased these adorable thank you cards from the Paper Tyger in Falmouth, MA – they are super duper cute! You can buy them on their website too – they are letter-pressed on 100% recycled paper and made in New York. The letterpress gives the card a nice embossed feel. The only strange thing I noticed is that the cards are just slightly too large for their envelopes. You can give them a little trim to make them fit. I sent an email to Catfish Greetings about it – hopefully they’ll be able to make their cards a tiny bit smaller.
no, thank YOU for being so cute!
The card is just a teensy bit too big for the envelope, but you can trim it
