I love the thank you card...SO CUTE!!!

The circus lion birthday card is awesome, if only because the lion does not look amused at all :) Also liking the giraffe notecard, the over the moon card and the bebe one :)

Anonymous said...

The cards are exquisite - combination of unique colors with unusual fonts and beautiful textures. My favorite is the french thank you note(Merci Beaucoup); it takes me back to having studied the language in Paris, and I love french themes.

Unknown said...

Those are gorgeous! My fav is the koi! So beautiful!

I adore Smock. I couldn't possibly pick a favorite but If I had to it would be either the Circus birthday card with the adorable lion or the April card with the umbrellas which reminds me of home! Not only are they adorable but eco-friendly - love it.

Anonymous said...

The April note cards are wonderful!

Barbara Bechtel said...

My favorite is the ceylon wrapping paper. I would never want to wrap any gifts with it though. Just stare at it!

All of their products have such well thought out details. I love the line envelopes and the way their brand is embossed on the edge.

Jessica said...

I love the chiffon thank you but let's be honest, all of it is awesome.

annette said...

Love them all, but especially love the plume petite fold card!

Amy said...

Like many other comments state, I love them all, but any of the cards with animals are especially fun (the beatles, the horses ("Thoroughbread"), etc.

Erin C. said...

After looking at all the gorgeous cards and paper, I love all of it especially the crochet thank you, the lion happy birthday, the koi - this one would have to go in a frame - and the confetti card. The lined envelopes add that extra touch of elegance.

I've been a huge fan of their business cards for a while, but my favorite in their "thank you" line is the super-sweet "etienne" card.

amber of theambershow said...

I love Smock! My favorite were the Mothers Day cards, actually. I appreciated the luxurious design on thick paper, and uncomplicated sentiment printed on it. "Happy Mothers Day", without the awful poems.

Mandy Ford Art & Illustration said...

What beautiful cards! I love the "sweet pea" one. :)

colleen k said...

I love so many of Smock's designs, but I would love to have a set of the butterfly design cards! They are so functional from a simple "hello, i miss you" to the "thank you for your generosity" note. Thanks for this wonderful opportunity!

Anonymous said...

my favorite is the horse note cards!

Michaele Sommerville said...

The Sweet Pea cards are my favorite- it's my daughter's nickname, and this month is her birthday- one more year until she's Sweet Sixteen, that magical time when I remember receiving my own first set of "grown up-ish" stationery and personal cards.

Smock is wonderful!

Cait Barnett said...

Love the "horsey" petite fold. It's so youthful and full of joy. Also love the tennis love card, my boyfriend loves tennis and I'd love to give that card to him.

All of them are beautiful though. Long live letterpress!

sara kristen said...

wow, these cards are absolutely beautiful. exquisite and simple, yet bold and richly textured. my favourites are the Sprout thank you card the Bloom petite social note... for the colours, the function, the texture, and the beautiful simplicity. thank you for introducing to me to Smock :) i love their approach, commitment to sustainability, love of historic craft, and simple, elegant designs.

Catalina said...

great design!

I love them all but my favorite is the derby notes

pixelimpress said...

choosing just one is always hard! they're collections are just stunning. but i do favor 'koi'. that little orange guy swimming is adorable. pam

Unknown said...

Even though it's months away, I love the holiday cards, especially the 'Merry, Merry' - those ornaments remind me of my childhood!

Anonymous said...

They are all so pretty! I love the Willow note cards- so simple and elegant!

P said...

No way I could choose just one! I absolutely love the depth of the embossing- it makes me go all design geek. Also, I'm fascinated by their use of bamboo paper. Good work!

choi said...

I love the business cards. The pony card is my favorite.

Books + Arts = Book Arts said...

hahahaaa!!! they're actually a company i've been stalking as i look for wedding invites! i love the hard pressed quality of their cards. it makes them look so rich and impressive. but the quirky designs keep them fun and flirty.

Cynthia P said...

I love Smock and have purchased from their bloom and giraffe lines in the past, but I'm currently loving the whimsical circus line!

saskia said...

I love their everyday cards. Circus is an amazing card for a little boy, and their thoroughbred card is lovely. Also really like the floral birthday, mothers day etc. Ack, I love it all.

tiffany said...

I just swooned over the giraffe motif! So pretty and sweet!

Cara Sheppard said...

I am a big fan of the everyday cards, like "Beetle" and "Koi". It's great to keep cards like these on hand for when birthdays and the like sneak up on you!

The gift wrap is gorgeous, but a card that really caught my eye is the piedmont thank you card. Lovely.

Lovely cards!! I think that if I were pressed to pick a favorite I would pick Dots and Swirls.

mamak said...

Oh the Delft is simply beautiful!
What a wonderfully fun give-away!

bulldogheaven said...

Wow, I love just about every one, but the Graham 30th birthday card is my favorite. I adore the yellow design on the back, the fun font, the rounded corners, and that it's made on bamboo paper. All the elements go really well together.

Sara K said...

I love the nass (we've moved!) cards, the walkham is gorgeous and classic, the happy birthday (simply great) in blue and red is really nice with the red/white envelope and the april and bloom party invites are great. Really like Smock's style!

Unknown said...

I love me some thank you note cards. I like crochet cards quite a bit!

elke said...

The "sweet peas" remind me of summer - love it!

apriljoy said...

Some really lovely shapes and colors. I like the beetle card, not your average bug that adorns cards like a ladybug or dragonfly.

Nicole Underwood Gonzalez said...

suzani is so beautiful. Actually that whole line with the same color scheme...I adore it!

anna hanson said...

They're all so cute, it's so hard to pick one or two favorites! Since I have to, I'll go with the "cindrel" and the "seine"! (But I honestly love them ALL!!

tara g - scoutie girl said...

i am pretty much in love with all of the "everyday" designs. the colors are so rich. and i love the idea of the bamboo paper!

Emmadime said...

Haddington in the Wedding collection is SIMPLE yet elegant at the same time because of the stark white paper and the interesting typeface. The Smock Spencerian typeface speaks for itself and creates a voice of it's own. Go Smock! Keep up the good work.

Vanessa said...

I had so much fun looking through these. I love the Koi card! The colors are beautiful and it can be used for any occasion.

Thanks!

Thank you!

Danae said...

I think the Paxi fold with the Green and blue combo is especially lovely. I also really like the Butterfly greetings card. And who could ever get enough of the Orange and aqua combo? So pretty, each and every one of their designs.

All of their products are beautiful!! but I really like the happy birthday cards with the red and blue trees on it :)

Donovan Beeson said...

The April paper is darling and all of their products are divine, but I was a bit disappointed with the navigation on the site. I was confused by it and only lucked in to where I wanted to go.

inlovewithred said...

I am so in awe with the creativity and eco-conciousness of this company. Bamboo paper - of course! I will definetly be purchasing products from this company. At this point, I'm in awe of the "bebe" and "Over the Moon" card. How sweet!

nicolecreates said...

How could I ever choose? But if you make me, I am smitten with the crochet thank you cards. The orange and light blue (teal?). Gorgeous. I want.

Molly Henty said...

Sometimes when I see art that I love I get butterflies in my stomach. Not sure why. But these cards are doing that to me. My favorites (at least for today) are: Beetle, Over the Moon and Sweet Pea.

paper and type said...

i've a soft spot for sweet pea.

Melissa said...

I love the sweet pea card, because we call my daughter Sweet "P" and I'm in LOVE with the goldfish card. I LOVE, LOVE orange, and I'm obsessed with goldfish & koi fish.

What a great giveaway!!!

melanie said...

oooh its gotta be the bourbon thank yous! yeah.

Kayla said...

Loving the beetle everyday card and the engadine wedding invitation (esp. the contrast of the dark teal foliage against the creamy white press). The carousel card takes me back to two places: childhood evenings at the fair with a big cone of cotton candy and, more recently, Paris at the carousel near the base of the Sacre Coeur. It's nice to see an illustration and be transported like that. Thanks!

Erin Dollar said...

Without a doubt: Delft!
