Product of the Week - Pirate Cards

This week's Rosebud Design Studio featured products are the Pirate Cards. I really like historical maps (I had been calling them "vintage" maps, but the nice librarian at the UCLA maps library informed me that they are "historical"). I started researching these maps for an invitation I designed for a destination wedding in Hawaii. There are lots of great sites on the web where you can get inspiration (check out my previous post on the topic for some more info).

Also, I really like pirates. And pirate-speak. Did you know that there is a National Talk Like a Pirate Day (September 19th)? I had a lot of fun writing the copy for these cards, researching all the pirate-y words I wanted to use and putting them together....

These particular cards are printed on recycled paper (we are making an earth-friendly effort here at Rosebud HQ), and are for sending birthday greetings, congratulations, and thank yous.

I have fallen in love with all of your stuff, especially the snarky postcards and christmas greetings. But, I can't seem to find your stuff in the store links you've listed. Are you under something other than rosebud designs? I want your products! please.

I'm so glad you like the line. Sometimes, even though I have listed the stores on my website, they don't offer my products on their web store. Most of the time they just sell them in their actual store.

You can try calling the stores and see if they will ship to you. I know that's a lot of work....I'm hoping to open an Etsy store in the fall, so keep your eyes open for that!
