by Deidre Woollard (RSS feed) —

Many of the high-low collaborations we see are in the fashion arena but fine stationery company, Crane & Co. is taking a cue from those partnerships. It has announced a new multi-year agreement with greeting card company American Greetings Corp. to produce a greeting card collection called Perfectly Said by Crane & Co. Gifts & Decorative Accessories says that the line will be launched in Wal-Mart exclusively. Cards will be printed on higher grade paper stock with a number of special finishes. There are plans to potentially extend the line beyond Wal-Mart.

Gilded Age Greetings, Cards Embellished With Precious Gems

Filed under: Art

Once upon a time, paper was precious and books and illuminated manuscripts were precious works of art. Now as we work toward a less paper-heavy society, books and other printed works are once again more valuable as works of art rather than simple reading matter. We've seen a whole spate of luxury books and Gilded Age Greetings takes the world of greeting cards back to a luxury level with a line of hand-crafted, heirloom-quality greetings embellished with 23K gold. One line, the Grand Couture line, even includes handset cabochon jewels, including amethyst, emeralds, rubies, and red and green garnets.

Ecosaurus Offers New Ways to Greet with Interactive Cards

by Jonathon Ramsey (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Green

The motto of the fabulously outrageous some·ecards.com is "When you care enough to hit send." But sometimes you care a little more than that – you really want to, like, send something. And sometimes you care a lot more, and not just about the card with which you're greeting: you want to send something little, luxurious, original, and green. Welcome, then, to the kinder, gentler-yet-just-as-luxurious world of greeting cards, otherwise known as Ecosaurus.

Made from Neenah Paper Environment PC 100 White – paper seemingly more natural than the trees it's made of, the product of an EPA-award-winning firm – Ecosaurus greeting and note cards combine the old days of holding something weighty and personal and ornate in your hands, with the new days of refraining from your previous, Earth-killing ways.

They have just announced their interactive greeting cards, which give you all kinds of options to check and circle instead of having to just make things up. After all, how long would it have taken you to let someone know that their urban swagger and high-kicks inspire you? If you do know what you want to say and simply need the proper canvas, note cards come in seven flavors, and Ecosaurus gift wrap lets you keep it all in the family. And how can you say no to a stegosaurus adorned with a leafy back?

Sadly, the interactive cards don't yet include a box for the yes/no answer to "Will you go steady with me?" But we're sure that's coming...
