043 – awful in pictures
043- awful in pictures”
(FRONT)
Yours is a beauty
that has to be experienced in person
to be truly appreciated, a beauty
that radiates in action – moving
this way, or that, or just
talking, laughing, breathing -
a rare beauty that cannot be frozen
in any one moment.
(INSIDE)
I guess that’s why you look
so awful in pictures.
An actual Sappycard measures 5 x 7 inches (A7 standard), is professionally printed on archival quality, richly colored 80# or 100# cardstock, and comes with an envelope. Cards may arrive unfolded but neatly scored. Actual colors may vary slightly from colors on computer monitor. Website images have been zoomed for readability.
All Sappycards papers are 100% recycled (mostly 100% Post-Consumer, a few 50% and 30%). Most papers were created using Total Chlorine Free or Elemental Chlorine Free processes. All envelopes are 100% Post-consumer recycled content. All inks are vegetable-based. Series VI papers were created using 100% Hydropower. All orders are packed and shipped using recycled paper materials.
The background designs of Series IV and VI come from my collection of what the Mailpiece Design Analyst at my local Post Office told me were called “mailpiece security screens,” those designs they print on the insides of envelopes to prevent people from reading through the paper.
