One of my New Year’s resolutions this year has been to write fewer emails and text messages and more letters and cards instead. I love receiving a hand-written note through the post, the ritual of opening the envelope, spotting someone’s handwriting, feeling the crisp paper.
So I’ve currently been on the hunt for the right kind of stationery, which is where I came across Rifle Paper Co., a boutique stationery brand and design studio based in Winter Park, Florida created by Anna Bond together with her husband Nathan.
Anna and Nathan offer a range of prints and bespoke calling cards with unique, whimsical designs, which include hand-painted illustrations and lettering to compose a style that feels both nostalgic and timeless.
I particularly love the monogrammed notes, which are customized with your monogram and full name in your choice of font and colour.
If you want to go a bit further than just your name or initial, you could opt for the illustrated calling card, which includes your portrait painted in your likeness by Anna herself.
The cards are printed on soft, heavyweight paper stock and all stationery products are coupled with classic pointed shaped envelopes.
As Anna and Nathan explain: “We take great care in choosing all of our stocks and printing methods to ensure our designs come to life in a way that’s elegant, durable, and beautiful. We strongly believe life’s personal stories and moments are best told through the gift of a hand-written card or note.”
I couldn’t agree more.
