From the first moment I laid eyes on the blog of Rachel Dangerfield & Quail Creative I was sold. The clean, simple layout with it’s chic black and white header had me at hello—Rachel’s gorgeous design work is the icing on the cake! Her latest card design is so charming with it’s colorful little bunting flags I couldn’t help but share. The blanks allow you to personalize the message as you see fit—her “I love how you look in flannel…” is pretty brilliant if you ask me. Be sure to stop by the Quail Creative blog to see more of Rachel’s portfolio and convince her to start selling these sweet cards!

These “(really) creative business cards” gave me a good laugh and are nothing short of genius. I love when designers think outside of the box and create something truly memorable. Each of these cards truly fit the bill. The traditionalist in me is especially drawn to handsome grey cards with their wax seals. I love their tactile quality and the fact that the wax seal is so classic yet used in an innovative manner. To see even more creative business cards visit here.

Don’t you just adore the clean red, white and blue of Julia Child’s masterpiece? I’m dying to get my hands on a vintage copy. I don’t even care about the book jacket, I just want this exposed hardcover sitting on my shelf. I love the repetition of the red fleur-de-lis and the tiny blue star. Never mind that I can hardly cook, it’s a classic!

Calling all typography lovers…how fun is this jukebox inspired serif above known as Torino Display? According to the seller it is, “A digital revival of an old photo-typositing face. Torino Display is a ‘modern’ style italic serif in the Didone tradition with an elegant swash variant. Torino was originally designed in 1908 by Alessandro for the Nebiolo foundry in Turin, Italy.” I think it would look lovely on a wedding invitation…
