Hello friends, my name is Rachel and I am a designer and lover of all things paper. I keep a blog called Benign Objects where I post inspiration, fantastic examples of design and freebies. I show off my custom design and invitation work, as well as paper goods over at www.benignobjects.com. And, finally, I indulge my love for letterhead at Letterhead Love.

As a long-time reader, I'm especially fond of Oh, Hello Friend and Danni, so I was completely honored when she asked me to act as a guest blogger. With Mother's Day right around the corner, I thought I'd do a roundup of some card options that tickled my fancy--and that I haven't seen often in my daily meanderings through blogland.

Cards, starting at top left: Hammerpress, Pinkerton Design at Tiny Prints, Driscoll Design atredstamp.com, Snow & Graham at redstamp.com, Ncharsaf's shop on etsy. Lovely card, very unwieldy name, Egg Press at Modern Paper Goods, hand-embroidered card from Crooked Sister's etsy shop, hand screen-printed card from Beau Ideal's etsy store.

Also, just in case you tend to be a last-minute person like me, or just in case you didn't find anything out there to suit you, I've got a free Mother's Day card download just for you guys. All you have to do is download the card, print it on card stock then trim and fold it. It measures 5 x 7 and fits in a standard A7 envelope. As always, this is for personal use only, but please feel free to print and send it to as many mothers as you like!

  1. Lovely interview and so timely with Mother's Day coming up. And I am so sorry about your mother. It must be heartbreaking. Your strength and love is admirable.
