This eco-friendly letterpress greeting card had quite the journey! It began as a simple illustration, was then carefully hand-carved into a linocut, transformed into a linoprint, and finally passed through their letterpress platen a number of times… phew, indeed!

Printed on Florrie, their much-loved and beautifully restored treadle-based letterpress platen built in 1872, each card carries a little piece of history.

The result is a wonderfully tactile finish, with the design gently de-bossed into soft, luxurious, tree-free cotton card.

The details…

• 300gsm / 110lb tree-free card

• Made from 100% cotton using recovered cotton fibres

• Blank inside for your own heartfelt message

• Envelope custom-made from 100% post-consumer waste

• Card size (folded): 10.9cm x 14cm

• Designed, printed and packaged by The Pear in Paper, Donegal, Ireland

There’s a very strict plastic-free ethos in the studio (and at home too!).

Each card is secured with a simple paper clasp.
