Mother Hen Letterpress Greeting Card

Not a flat, forgettable rectangle. This letterpress cut-out card features a proud orange hen settled in her nest, flanked by two tiny chicks, all rendered in warm, punchy colours. The illustration takes cues from mid-century American textile design, giving it that bold, graphic feel that looks just as good out on display as it does through the letterbox.

The cut-out shape turns it into a little paper object rather than just a card — something that naturally gets perched on a mantelpiece or shelf instead of folded away and forgotten. It’s cheerful without being twee, playful without trying too hard.

Printed in the UK using traditional letterpress techniques, the finish has that lovely tactile quality you only get from proper ink and pressure. Made from 100% recycled card and wrapped in compostable cello, with a bright orange envelope included. Blank inside, so you can keep the message short, sweet, funny or completely unhinged.

For new parents, proud mums, Easter baskets, or anyone who appreciates good illustration and a card that actually earns its place in the room.
