allow us to introduce you to bold face type, a brand new line of sassy cards that say what you were thinking. we fell in love with the 2 girls (Lindsay and Michele) behind the brand at the gift show in NYC this February. as 2 women working in the advertising world with dreams of fine letterpressed paper, we found we had quite a lot in common!
from "i will kick your ass in yoga. namaste." to "most things in life can be mended with a vodka tonic," the line has already gained a following among rock paper scissors regulars.
need a thank you note? check: "When I'm alone, I practice my oscar speech, and i never forget to thank you."
girls' night? check: "Don't you wish we could go back to college minus us being fat?"
birthday card? check: "I'm a little low on cash this year. So for your birthday can you wish for a new pair of shoes. Then if you get them, it's like they're from me."
their catalog reads (and we find it to be true),
"bold face type is a mindset. a drift toward outspoken honesty and laughs that come out your nose. we believe in realism the way Cinderella believes in happiiy ever after. bold face cards sometimes shout, occasionally whisper, but always speak the truth."
and the back of each card says, "our cards are friendly to the environment. and pretty pleasant to everyone else, too."
with their humor and wit, you're bound to find a card that's right for someone!
