I stumbled across a 3P-3 booth at a street fair a month or so ago, and wanted to buy everything on their table. I was so indecisive that I ended up leaving with nothing but their business card. Good thing, because I checked out their online shop and bookmarked this wonderful Happy Holiday Card Set ($15 for five).

R. Nichols Holiday Cards ($20 for 10) are witty, cheerful, and endearing. The cut-and-paste designs of his cards remind me of the grade school holiday projects that we all cherish as the homespun fun of celebrating the holidays.

Who can disagree with the wishes of joy, peace, good will, glad tidings, and love? This subtly tree-shaped card from DutchDoor is perfect for any of your loved ones during this holiday season, no matter what their background or beliefs. Letterpress printed in sage and turquoise and paired with a matching envelope, I love its pretty color pairing and sweet message.

I hope that Susy of SusyJack*, one of my new favorite destinations for contemporary paper goods, prides herself on her Joy Cards ($8.75 for 4), because I certainly dig 'em. They're simple, concise, pseudo-secular, and darn good-looking. They've also got that retro holiday feel that I'm loving these days.

I was immediately attracted to the design of these Phoebe Moore 1950s Bauble Cards ($12 for 10) from the Victoria & Albert Museum in London. They're festive but not over the top. Colorful but not headache-inducing.

This set of holiday cards ($12.50) from PressaRussa in Louisiana includes four letterpress flat note cards with coordinating envelopes. The text has been shadow printed in red and black to read "MERRY CHRISTMAS." I love the addition of the simple blue star in the upper left hand corner of both the card & the envelope.

This mele kalikimaka boxed card set ($16) from Etsy seller fugufugupress will let you say Merry Christmas like the locals—the Hawaiiian locals, that is.

They are letterpress printed on natural white paper with green tea-colored envelopes.
