New Listings!

There are two new cards for sale in the Half Empty Press etsy shop! A Posse Ad Esse (from possibility to reality) was designed for a friend who just graduated from a nurse practitioner program this summer. Now that her big day has passed, the beautiful Gocco-printed cards that she used as graduation announcements are available for others to purchase.

The other new card is a New Year's card that I've been meaning to print for more than a year...and isn't it cute? Letterpress printed, and in my favorite size--the tiny 4-bar. I have lots, so you might want to order enough for all your holiday card needs.

Now open!

Now that Half Empty Press has been around for a year, it seems like it's time to have a blog to talk about what's new and how things are going.

New this month: "Sorry Isn't Good Enough" cards--I thought of this as a sympathy card for an especially sarcastic friend who died of cancer. Never got up the guts to send it to his family, as I wasn't sure they would appreciate it. But from me to him, here it is. And from me to you--I'm sure you can think of ways to use it! Let someone know you're not going to accept their apology. Or use it to let someone know that words can't express the depths of your regret. It's not often that one card can hold two nearly opposite meanings at the same time.

Reprinted this month: "Dinner Party" invitations--I made the design for this card with help from Jessica Jewel several years ago (for my own party!) and this is the first time it's been available for sale. My mom loves this card. Maybe you will too.
