A passion for all things paper was the inspiration for Albertine Press, a custom print shop run by the sunny and talented Shelley Barandes. Her whimsical stationary, note cards, invitations, coasters, and more are hand-printed in brilliant color on 100-percent-cotton paper, in dozens of clever, playful designs that fit just about any occasion. Your search for the perfect card stops here; favorites include the adorable "Last Duck" series (wherein a little quacker marches to the beat of his own drummer), nouveaux-classic "City Parks" note cards (featuring sketches by Barandes herself), and the minimalist "Suitables" collection (inspired by a deck of playing cards). Albertine can also custom-design everything from business cards to wedding invitations - believe us, Barandes can do it all, from classy calligraphy themes to Creature From the Black Lagoon (we bet that was a scream of a wedding reception). Visit www.albertinepress.com to see the entire catalog, learn more about the letterpress process, or find out where you can pick up a packet of these darling designs.
