carte fête nationale

The ecru cotton paper has a lovely tactile feel that makes this card feel special, and the letterpress printing gives it a classy, understated look. My friend will definitely get a laugh from the perfectly awkward sentiment about their birthday being overshadowed.

I was pleasantly surprised by how sturdy the ecru cotton paper feels—it’s a nice weight for a card with a clever message. The brown bag envelope and letterpress ink give it a thoughtful, handmade vibe. Perfect for acknowledging the birthday struggle against a big holiday.

The ecru cotton paper is beautifully thick and the letterpress ink has a satisfying deep impression. My friend will absolutely get a kick out of the "beloved national holiday" joke since her birthday always falls on the Fourth of July.
