What Our Card-Loving Community Says

Receiving a Saturn Press card in the mail is already a special occasion. The rich impression of our letterpress printing, the wit and charm in the design, the weight of the paper in your hand—it all signals that this isn’t just any card. But when you add one of our unique letter seals, the experience becomes unforgettable. 

A handwritten thank-you note feels especially meaningful in a world that moves quickly. If you’ve ever wondered how to write one that feels genuine and personal, here are a few steps I like to follow:

Some of the most popular Saturn Press cards are in the Arts and Crafts style. There is a timeless beauty to the style that still appeals in the 21st century. The Arts and Crafts movement started around 1860, originating in Great Britain, and then making its way across the Atlantic to the United States. The movement was in response to growing industrialization, and the production of mass-produced items that, in the eyes of some, lacked beauty. Members of the movement wanted to revive the decorative arts and bring back fine craftsmanship. Arts and Crafts designs drew inspiration from nature's beauty. They demonstrated simplicity in form, as opposed to the heavy ornateness of the preceding Victorian era. Vivid flowers, dignified trees, and elegant birds were the stock in trade of the movement. When you see the work, you know it immediately for the joy it brings. The cards we have designed at Saturn Press are inspired by many of the leading artists of the movement including William De Morgan, C.F.A. Voysey, and Jane Berry Judson. Today you can see their original work on wallpaper and textiles at the Victoria & Albert Museum in London. --- See our Arts and Crafts card collection inspired by this movement. --- See Sunflower Tile Design card.
