These original and beautiful  Pegged cards are illustrated by Rachel Stanners. The designs use tights, tutus, bras, long johns and dungarees to say “Happy Birthday”, “Thank you”, and “I love you”.

The series is created using metal plates and moveable type which are ‘inked’ and then ‘pressed’ against card stock using a traditional hand-operated letterpress. 

Each card is unique owing to the varied distribution of ink and manual alignment.

Prickle Press is an eco-friendly company. We use recycled card, biodegradable plastic sleeves, minimal ink and a lot of elbow grease!
