Love is in the Cards

Foursided and Twosided are in love again- with a bevy of charming valentines!

Stop by and grab messages of love for those near and dear to you and send your love across the miles, no matter how far away they may be!

We have oodles of amazing new cards this year!

New comers Sapling Press from Pittsburg, PA, have swept us off of our feet with their witty one-liners. We couldn’t choose just one, they’re that good.

I Love You Like… // Sapling Press // $5.50

Mmmm… deliciously deep letter press…

We Go Together Like // Sapling Press // $5.50

Local stationer Ravensgoods is back at it again with their charmingly quaint notebook cards.
They make us want to puke a little. But, only because we love them so.

Notebook Valentines // Ravensgoods // $3.75

We are loving the honesty from Oddball Press along with the amazing ornamental envelopes. Express your love the only true way with violence, gifts, and the occasional dinosaur. Who needs flowers?

Awaiting Gifts & Love Punch // Oddball Press // $5.75

Extinct Love // Oddball Press // $5.75

Love is in the cards from Smock. These bright letter pressed cards have adorable coordinating patterns on the envelopes. It’s true.

Lobster ‘n’ Butter & Beer ‘n’ Lime // Smock. // $4.25

These retro inspired cards from Hello Lucky are the bee’s knees. They make us want to talk in corny puns all day.
Because we choo-choo-choooose too. [Insert picture of train here.]

Retro Inspired Valentines // Hello Lucky // $5.25

S + P // Hello Lucky // $5.25

If subtlety isn’t your cup of tea, we’ve got you covered. This one is sure to do the trick. If they say no the first time, there’s always the inside and the back which ask the same question. Third time’s the charm!

Wanna Do It? // Sapling Press // $5.50

Stop by and check out the rest of our treasures before they’re all gone… they’re moving fast!

Watch for our next post with more Valentines goodies.

Hello 2012!

Thank you to all of our customers for a wonderful 2011! We enjoyed getting to know more of you this year and we are excited about the plans we have for 2012.

We've included a sampling of a couple of our favorite New Year's cards, as well as some of our coolest calendars, so you don't miss a beat in 2012.

Antique Postage Stamps, $.10 each.

With Valentine's Day and Christmas behind us, it may seem like you have little reason to write a card. There are birthdays on the horizon sure, and Mother's Day will be here before you know it, but allow your friends at Twosided and Foursided to give you this friendly reminder:


You don't ever need a reason to mail a card.

Have you ever opened your mailbox and found a card unexpectedly staring you in the face? What about coming home to find an envelope with your name on it sitting on the counter? How did it make you feel? Pretty darn good, right? Well, for the cost of a card - which is far less than the cost of a meal, a drink, or most other tokens - you can make someone's day. The best part? You don't even have to be there to do it.

That $.44 (or less if you send a postcard, more if you need your mail to travel across an ocean) can get your special note anywhere it needs to go. Don't feel daunted by the task, you don't need to write a novel - a funny or artful card with a "Hope you are well" or, "This made me think of you" will do the trick just fine.

We love that you read our blog, friend us on Facebook, and enjoy our Twitter Tweets, but don't underestimate the connections to be made in the analog world as well. Allow us to challenge you, dearest Foursided and Twosided fans, to step away from the computer for just a moment and write that card. Carve out a little time from your day to make someone else's day with a personal note just for the fun of it. You won't be sorry you did, and who knows, with a little luck, someone just might return the favor.

Nourishing Notes

If you are anything like us, when you aren't strolling around town looking at fun cards you are busy stuffing you face with yummy food. If you aren't a foodie yourself, we guarantee you know someone who is, so allow us to make your card purchasing a little easier with these new fun greetings from Nourishing Notes, by Letterform.

We are super excited about carrying this line, partly because we like to support local Chicago companies, but mostly because their cards are so darn cute! Both Twosided and Foursided have an array of card styles, ranging from witty thank you notes: "Shanks. Shank you very much," to funny birthdays: "Oh sheet, I forgot your birthday," and everything in between. Cards are letterpressed with a bold envelope, and have a cooking tip on the back of each greeting. Although these notes are calorie free, giving a card this nice just might inspire your friends to invite you over for a fabulous meal. Bon appétit!

Need a last minute Valentine's Day gift for your sweetie? Allow us to suggest Art School Girl's 'Key To My Heart' kits available at Foursided and Twosided.
