Letterpress cards with a punchline
I saw these simplistic letterpress cards from Sapling Press and could not stop chuckling. Every one of them is just the right amount of humor, not too silly, not too sassy, just perfect.

These are so cool! Inspired by pop-up books and papercutting these postcards turn into a real garden. Of course you do have to water it and make sure it has plenty of sunlight.
