I adore their wedding invitations! My favourite is "Haddington" with its gorgeous Spencerian script. It's almost a shame I'm already married!
I love the carousel happy birthday card. It is lovely!
gosh darn! makes me wish i had some social occasions to get my own cards printed up for :)
Oh wow, I love all of them! I really love the 'Apple of my eye' baby card and also basically all of the note cards, but especially the pony and horse shoe ones!
Such a lovely store! Thanks!
It's hard to choose but I love the lion one, or the giraffe one, no defintley the second thank you card with the blue and orange pattern.
I might just stick with the lion one.
It is all so lovely. But the April Showers one really caught my eye. But I also like the carousel, and the giraffe and ...
Love the lantern happy birthday, as well as the elephant party card
The circus lion birthday card is my favourite but they're all adorable.
Ah, my weakness! Such beautiful cards. I think my favorite is the second thank you cards. Love that combination of orange and blue.
All these cards are awesome, but my favourite is the one with the orange fish and turquoise water lilly. I love water lilies.
So many fantastic designs to choose from. I love the rocket and moon one.

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 :)
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.
Those are gorgeous! My fav is the koi! So beautiful!
Such cute and classy cards. I perhaps like the wold one best or maybe the apple of my eye card.
espressogurl at hotmail dot com
I love all the subtle colors.
I like "the apple of my eye" card...
This company is fabulous! I have received a few of their cards and they are so beautiful that I framed them and put them on the wall as art! I love their eco credentials and my favourite card, which I yet to have is the spaceship going to the moon:)
I love the lion - but really they are all gorgeous- how could I choose.
I love them, I love them! And here's some that I really love: sweet pea baby card, apple of my eye, ducky place card, reindeer holiday social note . . . . also love the reindeer gift wrap, btw. . . thanks for introducing me to this wonderful line.
I love a good anytime card and the koi notecard is so beautiful!
We all love Birthday Cards and the caroussel one is wonderful!
i love the circus bday card and the umbrella notes. How lovely it would be to have custom business cards by them!!
i'm sort of obsessed with smock.
i just had the occasion to purchase a bunch of these cards http://smockpaper.com/everyday/party/313W and i am quite smitten with them! everything they make is incredibly lovely. i especially like the extra touch of the patterned papers lining the envelopes.
Letterpress + green = perfect! I love the Chiffon thank you cards. I love sending random thank you cards when people do small favours.
I love that christmas reindeer... he's the cutest little thing ever!
I really love their double sided wrapping papers too... so beautiful!!
I like Derby, Willow, and the various holly edged Christmas cards.
I love that 'sweet pea' card. :)
these are well...PERFECT! i heart smock so very much and there is nothing better than a lovely letterpress card.
I love 'liony' & 'apple of my eye.' They're both so adorable.
I love the Chiffon Thank you card! So delicate and 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.
The April note cards are wonderful!
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.
I love the chiffon thank you but let's be honest, all of it is awesome.
Love them all, but especially love the plume petite fold card!
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.
I like their bloom cards! Their gift wrap is pretty too.
I love them all, but the "beetles" card is possibly my favorite.
alzette is perfectly wonderful. cheerful colors, simple layout, truly stunning!
They're all great! My favorite is the "Bloom" note card.
i love the chiffon thank you card most. it looks so sweet!
I particularly like the April note card, with the Umbrellas, and also the Noveau, many thanks cards. They are all beautiful though. Becky
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.
it's really so hard to choose, but i love aqua + orange, so i'll say the 'koi note card'...so pretty.
my favourite is 'world'. thanks for introducing me to smock!
i love all the notes . . . and invitations, and birthday cards, and thank yous!!!
great fresh color combinations!
Oh, the baby cards! All of them! So perfect!
yay! i would absolutely love a set of these cards...i love the sweet pea card and the one that says "cheers"...such beautiful color combinations.
These are absolutely lovely. I love the sweet pea cards!
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.
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.
What beautiful cards! I love the "sweet pea" one. :)
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!
my favorite is the horse note cards!
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!
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!
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.
great design!
I love them all but my favorite is the derby notes
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
Even though it's months away, I love the holiday cards, especially the 'Merry, Merry' - those ornaments remind me of my childhood!
They are all so pretty! I love the Willow note cards- so simple and elegant!
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!
I love the lantern Happy Birthday one xx
ooh, i've been wanting to purchase some of these cards at their etsy store. my favorite are chiffon thank you cards!
it's hard to pick a favorite but the koi card really jumps out at me. I love all the animals they use!
I love the sweet pea and the suzani designs, the color combo is gorgeous!
Wow - they are all beautiful - but since I am on a heart kick... I like the "heart" pattern in the "from the heart" card. Although, My fav color combo is the gray and yellow! So nice...
I love love LOVE the lavender and mustard colored cards- especially the Cheers! card! I have seen these at a local store here and they are beautifully made.
Love the wedding invites! So beautiful! My favorites are the lion card and the yellow Bebe cards!!
Derby, for sure!
I love the sweetpea and the etienne cards right off. So many lovely designs.
Such perfect cards. I would love to win these!
Over the Moon!!!
i am a big fan of their cards. love their HB happy birthday card!
Loooove these...
love their use of deboss! xoxo
They're all really great, but I am especially fond of the "sweet pea" baby card.
Before the cards (that are all amazing) I LOVE how the photographed them ALL! It makes you want to buy ever one...I'm already married and really do not need the invitations but the photo's make you want them!!:) I liked all of the everyday cards the best...the lion...so cute!
I love the business cards. The pony card is my favorite.
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.
I love Smock and have purchased from their bloom and giraffe lines in the past, but I'm currently loving the whimsical circus line!
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.
I just swooned over the giraffe motif! So pretty and sweet!
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.
Oh the Delft is simply beautiful!
What a wonderfully fun give-away!
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.
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!
love the birthday card assortment, especially the lion one, so cute!
I love me some thank you note cards. I like crochet cards quite a bit!
The "sweet peas" remind me of summer - love it!
Some really lovely shapes and colors. I like the beetle card, not your average bug that adorns cards like a ladybug or dragonfly.
suzani is so beautiful. Actually that whole line with the same color scheme...I adore it!
these are so gorgeous! i worked at an upscale stationary store and saw a lot of letterpress work, but these are some of the prettiest i have seen to date.
Gorgeous site. I WISH I had a letterpress, free time, excess money and no distractions. I would be unstoppable!
How beautiful the notes and cards are! I would LOVE to win the giveaway! Thanks for being so generous to share!
How fabulous! I love them all!
I just love the koi card!
Loving the savoy double sided gift wrap - I'm thinking of making some dimensional ornaments with them - Christmas in July - it's never to early to start - thanks for the opp to win - anything of theirs is just gorgeous!
Love the Merci Beaucoup cards - one can never have too many thank you cards!
Gorgeous!! I love so many of them, but have always been so partial to lanterns, so I would say any with those are my favorites.
Oh my gosh! They are all so lovely! I love the ellie note card but all those lovely thank you cards are stunning as well!
I love the alzette!
I love the koi cards! Such a great color combo!
I also love that they're printed on bamboo. Very cool!
Thanks!
Great colors and detail! Love the "Apple of My Eye" card.
I am in love with the Giraffe petite fold. So adordable!
What a yummy giveaway. I like the koi/lotus notecards in a big way.
If I could only choose one card in the whole lot, it would have to be the Over the Moon love card!
I love "Paxi". It is elegant, feminine and fun!
I love the umbrellas! Adorable.
Loving the sweet pea cards. Absolute perfection!
The Koi note cards are my favorite! That little fish is adorable.
I love all the double-sided gift wrap!!! I love when there's a surprise on the inside... and you haven't even gotten to the present yet. :)
I really like the Chaffon Thank you cards, pretty pink!
mmm...I do so love the prints. and the color patterns. especially orange and blue. honestly, how can one choose? The one with the rocket is pretty gnarley :)
in love with your circus, simply great and trumeau birthday cards.
winning anything from smock would be like having a birthday all over again and staying the same age!
thanks for another rad giveaway!
xo, K
I'm particularly smitten with the orange butterflies and the umbrellas! Though, I also love how you've gotten us all to visit your site again as well. ;)
I love all of it! Letterpress is my favorite printed medium.
wow - I LOVE their letterpress! I think the pink rings Engagement card is one of my faves. Sweet Pea is a close 2nd. :)
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!!
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!
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.
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!

O.k. -How can one choose their favorite card??? I love them all.
I think I'm partial to the butterflies and the florals. And I love the feather print...oh and how could I not love the sweet peas? I hope I win!
I love the suzani, the koi, and the april umbrellas! such beautiful design.
Love the Apple of My Eye. The light blue and orange really attracted my eye!
so glad it's bamboo as well! That's great!
I'm partial to thank you cards right now - you call in alot of favors when you have a new baby in the house. So my favorite is the Piedmont thank you cards.
Thank you!
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 the "notes" cards are absolutely darling!
I like the thank yous. Beautiful cards.
Oh they are all SO lovely, My absolute favorite would be 'Over the Moon' followed by - 'butterfly', 'reindeer', 'suzani', 'dots&swirls', 'cannes', 'delft'...Mmm yes, I like them all.
So Pretty! I love letterpress.I think I would have a hard time giving these cards away!
Wonderful selection! I really like the thank you cards, particularly "Poppy."
wow! Love the green and orange series! They are all beautiful!
any with the floral motifs!
I love letterpress cards and have purchased this birthday card from smock:
http://smockpaper.com/everyday/birthday/C405T
It is definitely a favorite, gorgeous in person!
"Ellie" the elephant is my absolute favorite! So adorable! :-) Seriously, all of them are very cute.
i love the 'bloom' card :)
As a horse lover, I love the thoroughbred note cards!
I'm a nut for anything made of bamboo (my bamboo towel is the best thing ever, followed closely by my bamboo sheets).
Beautiful cards! Love "paxi" the most, I think.
They have some really gorgeous birthday and Christmas cards. And their wedding invitations are amazing!
Wow, I love all of them!..
Gotta say, the color combos on these are something! I adore Bloom and Plume in particular, which rhyme, coincidentally.

the You Mean the World to Me card (http://tinyurl.com/lap746) is gorgeous, it makes me think of my mum - she's in south africa and i'm in australia and i miss her terribly x

So cool! I like the April social note set, and the Over the Moon card. Very nice.
I love the Berci Beaucop card,its pretty and girly but I think my favourite is the Suzani letterpress note card for its fabulous pattern.
These cards are beautifully designed. I love the poppy thank you cards. So sweet!
Would love to win. My wedding is coming up and I can use some Thank You cards!
holy holy holy do I love these cards! They are all so beautiful, but the one I was instantly drawn to was the Rings congratulations card! Oh... pick me pick me!!
Love the Scroll birthday card, Beautiful....
I really like the plume note cards, but everything they make is oh-so-lovely!
supercute!!! i have such a weakness for paper goods...
wow tough to decide but I love the etienne!
All of their products are beautiful!! but I really like the happy birthday cards with the red and blue trees on it :)
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.
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!
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.
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.
i've a soft spot for sweet pea.
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!!!
oooh its gotta be the bourbon thank yous! yeah.
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!
i love their beetle card! such a fun idea!
Without a doubt: Delft!
"Plum" with the peacock plumes, yes, please!
They are all so lovely! I particulalry love all the pink and fuschia cards.
I can't decide between the Suzani note card and the green and blue Happy Happy Birthday to You card, I love them both!
How lovely. I particularly liked the poppy thank you and the simply great birthday.
the birthday cards are fantastic!
rubicon and beetle! letterpress is so gorgeous, like i could bite my teeth into them.
Oh I love smock. My favorites are bloom and modern cheer but all so lovely.
i love love love the love cards, esp. the apple of my eye card!
Everything on the site is so lovely! I adore the plym business cards!
what a generous giveaway! i love them all, but i'm kind of partial to the goldfish card - i have some goldfish wrapping paper that would coordinate just perfectly!
The circus birthday card is cute. I don't get to see many lions on cards these days =)
