New Ecka & Pecka Designer Cards!

Have you caught a glimpse of some of the new Ecka and Pecka cards up at Cardstore yet? Ecka and Pecka designer cards blend sophisticated design with whimsy and color to create cards that are perfect for a wide audience. With an array of eye-catching typography and unusual color combinations, Ecka and Pecka cards are in a league of their own. Beyond their innovative design, however, Ecka and Pecka designs are totally funny with their own brand of humor–go read a few, and see if you can resist smiling!

One of the cutest parts about Ecka and Pecka designs is their name–which, according to the artist website, are the names of the “designer’s niece Avery’s (age 3) imaginary friends, more specifically, her children.  Avery is married to Better Better, who is ‘brown’. Ecka favors her father, and is also brown, while Pecka favors her Mother who is ‘blond’. Unfortunately, Better Better has to work three jobs to support them. Both Ecka and Pecka have briefly held positions as zoo keepers and really enjoy Easter egg hunts.”

Below is a choice sampling of a few of our favorites, but you can select a few of your own favorite Ecka and Pecka cards onsite!

How to say Happy Birthday in a personalized way!

Celebrating a birthday is special, and sending a personalized greeting card from Cardstore is the perfect way to add your unique wishes to the day. Once you’ve picked out the card, it’s nice to include your own personal message, but finding the right words can be tricky.

A couple points to keep in mind include who the card is for as well as the design and tone you’ve chosen. If you’re sending a funny card, you may want to say something witty or amusing to compliment the humor of the card. If you’ve chosen a more heartfelt or traditional card, try writing something from the heart – a message that is sweet and sincere. Another good thing to think about is simply what you would want to say to your recipient if you were talking to them in person on their birthday.

Once you have a better idea of where you’re headed, the rest will come a little easier. Check out the list of fun and heartfelt birthday messages we’ve put together below for a little inspiration, and remember, have fun personalizing your cards and enjoy knowing you’ll be brightening someone’s day!

  • Wishing you lots of fun and surprises on your special day!

Milestone Birthday Cards and Invitations: Cause for Celebration

Birthdays are always something worth celebrating, but when a milestone birthday year comes along it calls for special attention! Make the most of every moment by choosing a birthday card that matches the milestone and celebrates the accomplishment. Cardstore milestone birthday cards and milestone birthday invitations draw attention to the birthday year by incorporating their age into the birthday design. Use a sixteenth birthday card to celebrate a sweet 16th friend birthday bash and a new driver’s license. Send a  happy 21st birthday card to celebrate their first legal drink.  Invite friends and family to join with you and celebrate the big 6-0 with a sixtieth birthday invitation. Whether you’re sending a milestone birthday wish or throwing a milestone birthday party, milestone cards show the birthday recipient how important their big steps are to you.
