I find the best way to make a card look instantly personal, arty, and damn right adorable, is to get your 4 year old to make it. I gave my son the opportunity to produce thank you/ happy new year cards for all our friends and relatives and he made a fantastic effort. There was [...]

When people leave their job (under good terms!) there’s always a leaving card that gets passed around for everyone to sign. I have noticed that on every card the gets passed around whether it be birthday, congratulations or leaving cards, most people write exactly the same things over and over again.
