You Are Pure Sunshine 3D Greenhouse Greeting Card

A tiny greenhouse bursting with good energy.

The You Are Pure Sunshine 3D Greenhouse Card begins as a flat letterpress greeting card, then folds and glues into an adorable miniature greenhouse made for display. Illustrated by Élise Lassonde and printed in fresh chartreuse and plant green inks on soft recycled mint-colored paper, it's a little patch of sunshine you can send through the mail.

Write your own message inside—love, gratitude, celebration, encouragement, or simply a reminder that someone makes the world brighter. Afterward, the die-cut and scored card can be folded and glued into a tiny freestanding greenhouse for a desk, nightstand, shelf, or windowsill.

Why We Love It

First you send someone a little sunshine. Then they get to build a greenhouse for it. We love that this card turns a few kind words into a tiny object made to stick around—and that the recipient gets one last bit of making before it finds a home on the windowsill.

Why We Love the Maker

Blackbird Letterpress makes paper feel special.

Founded in Louisiana around an 1,100-pound Chandler & Price press, Blackbird Letterpress has grown from a tiny back-room printshop into a working studio filled with vintage presses, rescued type, beautiful paper, and a couple of famously frisky shop dogs. Their work celebrates the tactile character of letterpress printing and the pleasure of making something thoughtfully by hand.
