Have you ever walked into the standard grocery store, browsed through the greeting cards section in hopes of finding something decent with which you could express your gratitude, and instead found yourself deeply disappointed with the tacky designs and cliché messages that they offer? We have! So we’ve investigated the small local businesses that know their stuff when it comes to stationary good and accessories. Take a look!

A bit of BLOND everyday

BLOND-AMSTERDAM started in 2001 in Femque and Jannekes first ever studio at the Spuistraat in Amsterdam. The colourful and sometimes naughty style of the earthenware and paintings immediately appealed to a large audience. The personal illustrations are carefully created at the girls shared desk.
The reason for the enormous popularity: Blond Amsterdam represents a certain attitude to life: light, positive, naive, cheerful and accessible.

4CARDS

“4CARDS was born in April 2006 after my own need for hip, cool and fresh designs for a birth announcement and wedding invitation. I love to design birth announcements, wedding invitations and other cards as it is always for a very special occassion. People trust such an important card to you which is very special to me. Our style is colorful, fresh, hip but also sweet and soft.” – Muriel Idema
