These long winter days have me dreaming up note card designs. This week I’m full of wanderlust, fantasizing about warm summer days in far off locales, hence the new airmail note cards. Now listed in the shop.
They were inspired by a few airmail envelopes I came across recently while going through a few boxes of old papers for my collages.
Rifling through these boxes feels like scrounging for loot. Many fun papers.
A closer look at that gorgeous PAR AVION logo.
Another great logo…
And chevron usage…
The note cards I designed include blue non-airmail envelopes. Dommage. The postal lady gave me a stern look with a grade-school teacher pointed finger. No sending letters with airmail envelopes if they are not required to be sent via air. I received this lecture in French AND English in two different countries so it was VERY CLEAR that I wasn’t to use envelopes PAR AVION or for AIR MAIL. Neither are you. Tsk tsk.
Oh hey, thanks for the lecture post office lady.
Originally I was going with a white background, but because of the envelope situation, I had to choose a blue envelope instead of an airmail envelope, which meant a creamy background look best…
I love when an idea comes together.
Blue envelope, cream background, red and blue border, friendly messages. So fun. A nice way to say Hello. Or said another way…
Bastille Day fun.
Christophe and I were always AIRMAIL themed.
Airmail note cards are in the shop. I’m also finishing up March’s Paris Letter, which will be my 99th Paris Letter. Incroyable! Also, quick reminder that the PARIS LETTERS ebook is on sale. A mere $2.51 USD over at Amazon.com. And it is price matched across platforms, with some currency exchanges in place, so now might be a good time for some armchair travel to Paris.
