We released our "White-on-White" collection last spring at the National Stationery Show and it's proving to be very popular with our retailers and our online customers. The cards are letterpress printed using 110lb., 100% cotton Crane Lettra paper with Pantone 7527 ink, which is more like a pale taupe color — but we're still calling them "White-on-White", okay?!!

Then I illustrated the delicate little twig shapes with little motifs that corresponded with each outside message.

Also, there is one design in this collection which is a congratulatory card, and that's the "Hip Hip Hooray" design. Lastly, the collection contains a thank you card design which says "Many Thanks". All are my favorites (of course), but I'd have to say that "Status Poste" seems to be edging out the others by just a bit, in terms of popularity.

All of our White-on-White cards are sold as singles in a cello sleeves, however we do offer the Status Poste, Sending Love, and Many Thanks cards as boxed sets of eight as well.
