1201am Cards • 3/2/06
Yet more cards to show you, this time featuring designs from Atlanta, GA graphic designer Laurie Forehand. She has a nice little online shop called 1201am and offers really nice, clean lined notecards and other paper products featuring birds, flowers and plants.
So why’s the site called 1201am? Here’s a little blurb from her website FAQ:
1201am represents the time, 12:01am. Also known as “the first minute of the day”; a notion of freshness, or an awakening of innovation and ideas. With most creative minds being more nocturnal creatures, the name also reflects a familiar time of day, or night, when most ideas hit.
One of her nicest card designs involve the classy yet cute “Chirps!” birds. Pictured here is the Chirps! Magenta notecard set which feature the affable little birds letterpressed onto white cardstock. This stylish set is also available in Avocado (but sold out!) and in Mango (with a smaller Chirps! motif).
Each $12/set set has 6 notes that measure 3 1/2 by 5 inches and is packaged nicely in a chocolate-brown box. This looks like a great gift for your favorite letter writers, or maybe just a treat for yourself.
In addition to selling these sets of boxed letterpress notecards, 1201am also offers single notecards for those who just need one, as well as a variety collection line (called Decorativ) for those who can’t make up their minds which ones to get!
The 1201am website is located at:
