<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Joining the good fight to make snail mail hip again is <a href="http://punkpost.co/" target="_blank">Punkpost</a>, a service/app launched by San Francisco artists. Marrying traditional card-sending with 21st century life, Punkpost sends handwritten, letterpressed cards as quickly as sending a text — with confetti bombs and square photos optional, no less!</span><span class="s1"><br />
<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-12490" src="http://thepaperchronicles.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/Punkpost-card-photo-legs.jpg" alt="Punkpost card + photo + legs" width="800" height="840" /></span><span class="s1">Here&#8217;s how it works. First, download the app here, then pick a card from a Punkpost designer.</span><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-12492" src="http://thepaperchronicles.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/Punkpost_holidaycard_collection.jpg" alt="Punkpost_holidaycard_collection" width="800" height="483" /><span class="s1">Write your message (in any language, with or without emojis) and place your order. Punkpost artists then hand-transcribe it onto your card, complete with an occasion-matching stamp, and your card is on its way — which you’ll know from a photo report. You can even schedule your holiday greetings in advance to avoid the last-minute hustle.</span><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-12488" src="http://thepaperchronicles.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/Holiday-Photoshoot-11-SMOOTH.jpg" alt="Holiday-Photoshoot-11-SMOOTH" width="800" height="533" />Punkpost&#8217;s stable of artists rival that of any traditional greeting card line. I am loving this blue and orange collection from<span class="s1"> Anna Hurley, a Bay Area designer with a distinct &#8217;60s vibe. She draws her inspiration from two of my all-time favorite things: midcentury designs and vintage children books. </span><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-12630" src="http://thepaperchronicles.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/Anna-Hurley-Collection-full.jpeg" alt="Anna Hurley Collection full" width="800" height="533" />And Jess Levitz created this super-cozy, hand-lettered collection exclusively for Punkpost.<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-12633" src="http://thepaperchronicles.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/June-Letters-Collection.jpeg" alt="June Letters Collection" width="800" height="533" />I love that Punkpost is creating videos to share the artist&#8217;s perspective on each collection. Here&#8217;s Jess talking about hers.</p>

<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Finally, here&#8217;s the skinny on pricing: the first card, first photo and first confetti are free for any new user. After that, each card is $6 including postage ($1 extra for international), with $1.50 extra for a photo print or a confetti bomb. </span></p><div class="inline-post clearfix"><div class="see-also byline">See also</div><div id="block-wrap-78701" class="block-wrap-native block-wrap block-wrap-23 block-css-78701 block-wrap-classic columns__m--1 elements-design-3 block-ani block-skin-0 tipi-box block-wrap-thumbnail ppl-m-1 clearfix" data-id="78701" data-base="0"><div class="tipi-row-inner-style clearfix"><div class="tipi-row-inner-box contents sticky--wrap"><div class="block block-23 clearfix"><article class="tipi-xs-12 clearfix with-fi ani-base tipi-xs-typo split-1 split-design-1 loop-0 preview-thumbnail preview-23 elements-design-3 post-10003193 post type-post status-publish format-standard has-post-thumbnail hentry category-off-the-press tag-angela-chick tag-black-friday tag-design tag-felicity-jones tag-greeting-cards tag-illustration tag-just-a-card tag-just-a-card-indie-week tag-makers tag-michael-palin tag-natalie-dormer tag-richard-e-grant tag-sarah-hamilton tag-sarah-schwartz tag-small-business-saturday tag-stacie-swift tag-stationery tag-stationery-blog tag-stationery-design tag-stationery-designer tag-the-paper-chronicles" style="--animation-order:0"><div class="preview-mini-wrap clearfix"><div class="mask"><a href="https://thepapernerd.com/just-a-card-indie-week/" class="mask-img"><img width="100" height="100" src="https://i0.wp.com/thepapernerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/JUST-A-CARD-INDIE-WEEK-25-29-November-image-by-Stacie-Swift.jpg?resize=100%2C100&;ssl=1" class="attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="" srcset="https://i0.wp.com/thepapernerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/JUST-A-CARD-INDIE-WEEK-25-29-November-image-by-Stacie-Swift.jpg?w=800&;ssl=1 800w, https://i0.wp.com/thepapernerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/JUST-A-CARD-INDIE-WEEK-25-29-November-image-by-Stacie-Swift.jpg?resize=150%2C150&;ssl=1 150w, https://i0.wp.com/thepapernerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/JUST-A-CARD-INDIE-WEEK-25-29-November-image-by-Stacie-Swift.jpg?resize=770%2C771&;ssl=1 770w, https://i0.wp.com/thepapernerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/JUST-A-CARD-INDIE-WEEK-25-29-November-image-by-Stacie-Swift.jpg?resize=200%2C200&;ssl=1 200w, https://i0.wp.com/thepapernerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/JUST-A-CARD-INDIE-WEEK-25-29-November-image-by-Stacie-Swift.jpg?resize=350%2C350&;ssl=1 350w, https://i0.wp.com/thepapernerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/JUST-A-CARD-INDIE-WEEK-25-29-November-image-by-Stacie-Swift.jpg?resize=460%2C461&;ssl=1 460w, https://i0.wp.com/thepapernerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/JUST-A-CARD-INDIE-WEEK-25-29-November-image-by-Stacie-Swift.jpg?resize=570%2C571&;ssl=1 570w, https://i0.wp.com/thepapernerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/JUST-A-CARD-INDIE-WEEK-25-29-November-image-by-Stacie-Swift.jpg?resize=24%2C24&;ssl=1 24w, https://i0.wp.com/thepapernerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/JUST-A-CARD-INDIE-WEEK-25-29-November-image-by-Stacie-Swift.jpg?resize=48%2C48&;ssl=1 48w, https://i0.wp.com/thepapernerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/JUST-A-CARD-INDIE-WEEK-25-29-November-image-by-Stacie-Swift.jpg?resize=96%2C96&;ssl=1 96w, https://i0.wp.com/thepapernerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/JUST-A-CARD-INDIE-WEEK-25-29-November-image-by-Stacie-Swift.jpg?resize=300%2C300&;ssl=1 300w" sizes="(max-width: 100px) 100vw, 100px" /></a></div><div class="meta"><div class="byline byline-2 byline-cats-design-4"><div class="byline-part cats"><a href="https://thepapernerd.com/category/off-the-press/" style="color:#b79b0d" class="cat">Off The Press</a></div></div><div class="title-wrap"><h3 class="title"><a href="https://thepapernerd.com/just-a-card-indie-week/">Just a Card — Indie Week!</a></h3></div><div class="byline byline-3"><span class="byline-part date"><i class="tipi-i-calendar" aria-hidden="true"></i> <time class="entry-date published dateCreated flipboard-date" datetime="2019-11-22T14:47:33+00:00">November 22, 2019</time></span><span class="byline-part likes-count"><a href="#" class="tipi-like-count " data-pid="10003193"><span class="likes-heart"><i class="tipi-i-heart-o" aria-hidden="true"></i><i class="tipi-i-heart" aria-hidden="true"></i></span><span class="tipi-value">0</span></a></span></div></div></div></article></div></div></div></div></div></tipimidc>
