Happy Birthday (Stripes) Card by Heartell Press
Happy birthday.
A joyful bouquet of hand-illustrated blooms arranged in a striped vase brings a bright burst of color to this birthday greeting. Printed in vibrant layers of fluorescent pink, yellow, orange, and green on our in-house risograph press, each card features the rich texture and slight variations that make risograph printing so beloved. Perfect for flower lovers, gardeners, and anyone who appreciates a colorful celebration.
This A2 (4.25" x 5.5") folded card was Risograph printed on 100% post-consumer recycled paper. Includes a coordinating envelope. Inside is blank for your personalized message.
Handmade by Heartell Press in Fort Wayne, Indiana.
RISO prints are made with a Risograph printer. It looks like a photocopier, but works as a screenprinter; using rich spot colors and stencils to create tactile and vibrant prints, affordably and with little impact to our environment.
Risograph printing has been used for high-volume printing in places like schools and political parties for many years, but over the past decade, it has undergone a resurgence with creatives adopting the process because of its tactile and unique results!
*Please note RISO is a spot color process that makes every print unique, and slight imperfections are part of its charm.
Our story started when printmaker and illustrator Rachel Kroh was inspired to hand-carve woodblocks and print them to make cards after she had trouble finding the kind of warm, sincere designs she wanted to send to her mom who was diagnosed with cancer in 2012. Since then we have grown to a small but mighty team of five, committed to helping you savor every moment of feeling, flavor, sensation and connection with the people who matter most to you.
At Heartell Press we use sustainable materials and simple block print illustrations to create meaningful cards and gifts so you can nurture your relationships through all of life's ups and downs. Our Art for Change Project is a collection of postcards (great for sending to elected representatives) and art prints that generate funding for organizations that support BIPOC and LGBTQ+ small business owners.
