Play Time cards by Sean Sims

Posted on | Leave a comment

Sean sims car
We showed you the Sean Sims limited edition alphabet print last year. Now the letters are available individually, as the Play Time card range. 

Executed in an early 70s-style, each card is based around a different letter: from the brightly patterned 'K' for 'Kettle' to the monster towering over the metropolis for 'M', or the old-fashioned gent clutching an umbrella for 'U'.  

Ideal as birthday cards for kids or for adults who haven't quite grown-up yet, the cards cost £2 each. 

Order them from Nineteenseventythree

The card range includes 16 new designs that are packed full of retro charm. Each card focuses on a different dubious character, that you could imagine seeing loitering around in prohibition-era America. Pictured is the diva, while there is also the likes of the poet, the cabaret girl, the gypsy and the sailor. There's even a card called Minelli. The illustrations enhance the 1920s/30s feel of the characters.

Darling Clementine cards
We've featured many of the fun 1970s style Darling Clementine designs before. For their Christmas Collections Card set, they seem to have looked a bit further back in time for inspiration.

The set of six designs are influenced by vintage cards. Each card has a classic Christmas motif – the sweets, the baubles, the sleigh – all topped off with a greeting executed in a 50s font and added gold spray for that festive shimmer. 

A set of the cards costs $21.

Although only just November, it probably isn’t too early to be planning for Christmas especially when ordering things online. So here is my first suggestion for suitably retro Christmas cards from Sukie.

Like other Sukie products, the Christmas cards feature folk art style illustrations in a palette of blue, green, red and pink. There are five designs to chose from; Peace, Love, Joy, City (which includes a snokflake and Christmas tree to keep it festive) and Tree.

They cost £1.80 per card from Nineteen Seventy Three.
