<p>One of many great finds this past <a href="http://www.nationalstationeryshow.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener">National Stationery Show</a> was this Brooklyn-based house of cards, named for one of my favorite elements of punctuation: <a href="http://www.umlautbrooklyn.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ümlaut Brooklyn</a>.<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-15302" src="http://thepaperchronicles.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/use-me.jpg" alt="use me" width="800" height="800" />With the tagline &#8220;Aiding and Abetting Real Communication,&#8221; this retro-inspire line describes itself as sometimes irreverent, sometimes naughty, always nice.</p>
<p>&#8220;We make cards that make people linger at the card racks, laughing out loud and passing cards back and forth to read,&#8221; designer Jocelyn <span class="s1">Kirouac </span><span style="line-height: 1.5;">— who creates the range alongside husband Roland — told me. &#8220;We have cards for every occasion&#8230; and a few that you might not have thought of yet.&#8221;</span></p>
<p>Check out selections below — how cool is it that they have <a href="http://www.pandorasbox.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Louise Brooks</a> on a Christmas card (second design down)? Oh, and is everyone having a Doris Day so far? I sure hope so!<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-15130" src="http://thepaperchronicles.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/F-19-copy.jpg" alt="F - 19 copy" width="800" height="1035" /><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-15134" src="http://thepaperchronicles.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/XM-25-copy.jpg" alt="XM - 25 copy" width="800" height="1035" /><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-15128" src="http://thepaperchronicles.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/F-03-copy.jpg" alt="F - 03 copy" width="800" height="1142" /><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-15131" src="http://thepaperchronicles.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/V-01-copy.jpg" alt="V - 01 copy" width="800" height="1035" /><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-15126" src="http://thepaperchronicles.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/BD-50-copy.jpg" alt="BD - 50 copy" width="800" height="1035" /><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-15133" src="http://thepaperchronicles.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/XM-17-copy.jpg" alt="XM - 17 copy" width="800" height="1035" /><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-15127" src="http://thepaperchronicles.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/BD-51-copy.jpg" alt="BD - 51 copy" width="800" height="1035" /><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-15135" src="http://thepaperchronicles.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/XM-28-copy.jpg" alt="XM - 28 copy" width="800" height="1035" />They are dedicated using sustainable resources, and to that end, everything is designed &;
