I’m excited to welcome Hello!Lucky as a new sponsor and today they’re offering a giveaway! Their beautiful and well-designed letterpress and digital stationery has long been a favorite of mine and I’m sure if you haven’t seen it yet, you will love it too. Sisters Eunice and Sabrina Moyle founded Hello!Lucky and also wrote the popular book, Handmade Weddings, from Chronicle Books. You can see photos of Eunice’s wedding here.
Hello!Lucky offers paper goods to take you through all the stages of your life with wedding invitations, birth announcements, and kids’ birthday invitations. Plus greeting cards, personalized stationery, thank you notes and more. They also feature collections from guest artists like Jacqui Lee (shown above). Their wedding invitations run the gamut of styles, so there’s something for everyone whether you like modern, traditional, whimsical or romantic. I really like these destination cards shown below, reminiscent of vintage postcards.
Today’s giveaway is for five greeting cards, a set of six thank you cards and a Father’s Day card! You choose the designs. To enter to win, simply leave a comment here by midnight eastern Monday night (May 21). This giveaway is open internationally! I’d love to hear how you feel about correspondence these days. Do you still send paper cards, thank you notes, or letters? Why or why not?
I’ll say that the good southern manners my mother taught me have become too lax over the past few years. But I suspect that for those of us who love handmade, the tactile aspect of mail is still appealing. So get back to the paper and pen and send a proper thank you, why don’t you?
I do mail cards for people who are too far a distance to see regularly. These cards are pretty nice:)
These cards are lovely! It is important to be able to handwrite a letter and the excitement of waiting for the reply! I do try to send postcards now and then.
What a great giveaway! I love beautiful cards and try to send mail often. I write thank yous, send birthday cards, and sometimes just little notes to my friends and family across the country. I would love to add some of these to my collection. Thanks!
Hi from Australia. I collect stationery, vintage and contemporary. I have tons of the stuff and love digging through my collection to find a good card or notepaper to write to friends and family. My dear Mum and I kept up a correspondence for years and Mum would send newspaper cuttings and recipes to me along with her letters.
I LOVE “real mail” and still send it. As regularly as I can. I believe in the thank you card. What a fun giveaway.
Cheers from Darwin Australia
Lovely designs and what a wonderful suprise would be to someone receving such a mail!
Love to get and send paper cards. I think it is better than email or e-card. Well I did e-card if we short on time but paper cards have been my favorite.
I always send cards for special occasions to family and friends.
I still love snail mail – a real card is so much better than an internet card – so much more personal. Thanks for this great giveaway.
These card are amazing. I keep wondering how I have never heard of Hello!Lucky before today. I would love to add these to my stash. I especially love the acorn card.
Must have the dad’s day card with the excavator. We always love picking out the perfect card for each of our family member’s events, but my daughter usually hand makes birthday cards for her friends. We’re pretty good about sending thank you cards, and even the little one loved getting a card from one of his friends. Keep up the cards!
School supply shopping was always my favorite as a kid. I still love paper, especially letter press!
I’m a member of postcrossing.com and send and receive postcards from all around the world. It’s a lot of fun trying to choose just the right postcard for someone and knowing you’re brightening someone’s day even if you don’t know them. Through postcrossing and ravelry, I’ve found some long-term penpals that I love writing to! These cards are beautiful – I’d love to send them out!
I just went to the Hello Lucky site. I like the retro feel that so many of their cards have. I still do a lot of snail mail. Letters, cards, thank you notes, whatever. I still get a tingle in my spine when i go to the mailbox and find a personalized envelope, so I imagine other’s do to. I haven’t received a letter from anyone in a long time. Maybe that”s becoming a lost art, but I do still wrtite them. And I love sending cards. I will be ordering the thank you card with the squirrels and acorn unless by some odd chance I win the giveaway. Thank you for introducing this company to me, and thank you for the chance.
Always send paper cards, they are more fun to send and receive.
I love sending and receiving cards.
I have always sent handmade greeting cards and am one of those people who sits at cafe tables writing postcards to everyone when I’m traveling.
Fabulous giveaway! I love to send cards, and handcraft them usually. And I still get a thrill out of getting the mail everyday, hoping someone sent me something!
I’ve always been a letter writer. My Grandma and I started writing to each other every week when I was about 13, I think I was around 38 when she died ~ so for 25 years. A long time. I haven’t found anyone else to do that with, but still like to send postcards and letters to friends and sometimes I get one back! It’s like getting a treasure!
Oh, my Grandma saved all those letters too.
ooh these cards look fantastic. Yes I do still use snail mail but much less than before, usually for special occasions. Otherwise, it’s email for me.
I do still send occasional notes and cards. I even bought my own embossed stationery to make it feel more special. These cards are beautiful and would definitely inspire me to send more “real” mail. Thanks for the opportunity!
Love these cards!!! Would like to keep this designer in mind for when I get married
I send mail at least a few times a week. I LOVE stationery and also stamps, and people always tell me they love to get mail.
Do they write back? Not so much….lol.
I send cards for everything and I love to get them also.
still send paper invites and thank you’s
I keep stamps handy but I don’t send as much postal mail as I should. I keep meaning to be a better pen pal!
I still love to give and receive cards via snail mail…there is just a more thoughtful quality to it than electronic versions. Plus it is something you can keep and display. These designs (for the giveaway) are really adorable! Would love to win!
These cards are beautiful! Thanks for the giveaway
I absolutely send cards – I try to get one out in the mail each week. My gram has carried on that little tradition of kindness and luckily taught it to me.
I love Hello!Lucky, they always have the wittiest designs. And I think sending snail mail is fun and thoughtful. In fact, I regularly send random cards to my long distance BF.
I LOVE this company!!! I think it’s absolutely necessary to send a thank-you card by mail, anytime someone does something for you or gives you a gift. I used to find it a waste to spend money on cards, but that was because I didn’t find any that I liked. I like to give cards on birthdays and holidays, sometimes only because I can’t afford a gift. Thanks so much for a chance to win!
i still send cards becos i enjoy making my own DIY cards for my loved ones. it shows the love and efforts i have for them. really enjoy the process making my own DIY cards too. it’s the thoughts that count : )
My daughter (7) & I send postcards almost weekly! We send them to whomever we feel needs cheering up in our address book! Who doesn’t love positive post?
I’m sorry to see so much correspondence done electronically – it’s very convenient, but there’s nothing like getting mail (that isn’t bills). We still do snail mail thank yous and cards. Thanks to all for the chance to win!
I think sending an actual physical thank you, or cheery card to someone can really make a difference. Especially in todays world, the effort that goes into it seems more meaningful and hearttful because someone put in the extra time to do it.
Hello! Lucky produces lovely letterpress things. Even people that don’t know what letterpress is, can feel the impressed ink and thickness of paper and know that it is correspondence that is uniquely special and selected just for them. When I have received personal coorespondence and it is on special stock, engraved, hand-crafted or letterpress, I keep it forever or even display it on my inspiration wall in my office. Like Diana in Austrailia, I too collect special cards and stationery and have a large collection to choose from when the occasion arises. It’s so much fun to go threw it all and select just the right one. It’s folks like you all at The Long Thread and Eunice & Sabrina at Hello! Lucky that I am still inspired to spend the money and time on hand delivered mail. So, thank you for your inspiration.
I’m all about the letter writing—it feels so personal to recieve something handwritten—if I had my way I’d be able to hand write my blog and emails….
I just love to buy cards, in fact I have a drawer full always ready for use. Receiving post from a friend is fun and much better than opening a bill. I try to do something nice for someone every week and like to include a little card too. Thank you cards should be sent and written in person and not via email. Email is just too impersonal for somethings.
I send cards all the time….birthdays, holidays, thank you’s, etc….I love them!
What a wonderful giveaway! Although email is handy, nothing beats sending and/or receiving a beautiful card through the mail.
I do still like to send thank you cards and letters for special occasions (baby gifts, weddings etc etc) but I do rely on email a lot these days.
My biggest problem is that i buy stationary that I think is beautiful, and then I can’t bring myself to use it
OK, love this!!!! These cards and stationary are just fantastic and if I don’t win, I am sure I will have to order some myself. Great work!
i’m still a big fan of mailing thank you cards and birthday cards. a text message or email just isn’t the same as opening the mailbox on your birthday and finding a handwritten note.
Cute cards. How would I decide?
I love getting letters in the mail and do does my son. We try to send out cards to grandpa every month.
I love cards and still try and send out paper thank you cards. I love getting them too but that doesn’t happen quite so often.
I love Hello! Lucky!
hello, I’m from Holland and a big fan of your blog. Wow, an international give-away, with wonderful cards. I love snail-mail and can think of a lot of people I want to sent those cards to.
I love sending paper cards but only to folks who appreciate it. And whatever few cards come by postal mail, I immediately put them up on my cork board. Makes me smile everytime I look at them.
Thanks for this giveaway!
I still love sending mail (and receiving it too!
) Birthday cards, Christmas cards, random cards, postcards, you name it!
I use hand written cards as my main correspondence with both of my grandmothers. (I’m sure my x generation handwriting is appalling at times). I still get excited when I see a handwritten card addressed to me in the mail; it’s a nice break to all the junk mail and bills! These cards and postcards are amazing. They would make awesome art, if framed. thanks!
