<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Portland has given America so much in the past several years — Portlandia, moustaches, bicycles — not to mention lots and lots of letterpressers. Now stationer Karina Lopez of <a href="https://www.instagram.com/darlingdistraction/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Darling Distraction</a> has unveiled a stationery line that&#8217;s part Palm Beach, part Lisa Frank, part gold-foiled and completely adorable! </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">&#8220;When I was designing the cards my pin board consisted of tropical images: palm trees, pineapples, Pina Coladas, mojitos, etc.,&#8221; she told me. &#8220;I also am very passionate with illustrations from the 50s, so I gave my characters a cute vintage look. These cards are perfect for the summer!&#8221;</span></p>
