I have some really talented friends. My friend Rena is definitely one of them—although don’t tell her I said that because her head will get really big and I’ll have to knock her down a few pegs to keep her in check.
Anyway, after talking about it for years and procrastinating with the best (worst?) of them, she finally opened up Rena Franco Design, an Etsy shop filled with her hilariously snarky paper goods. And I have to tell you, they’re pretty awesome.
She sent me this last card for my birthday and I just about died laughing when I opened the envelope. There is seriously nothing like opening a card and expecting the same old bland sentiment as always and being confronted with something sarcastic and completely unexpected. It’s kind of the best.
Added bonus: all of her cards are completely customizable, so if there’s one shown that doesn’t exactly fit what you want to say, she’ll tweak it for you so that it’s perfect. She is also all for creating completely custom pieces. So if there’s something you really want to say that no other card says (like Dear Husband, I love you even though I want to stab you each and every time you hit the snooze button), she’ll totally make it for you.
OK, so now I’m wondering: if you were going to customize a snarky card, what would it say?
I just checked it out. I think my talking cat cards are in trouble! So funny!
Hahaa! Those talking cats are tough to beat, but these are awesome in a totally different way. Maaaaybe not perfect for great grandma, but definitely perfect for anyone who is the slightest bit sarcastic!
This is amazing… I will totally be frequenting her shop!
I knew you would love these! I think she may have to create a whole snarky line just for us.
Hear that, Rena? You totally need to add some BFF cards to the shop!
I need that last one for pretty much every card-warranting event ever.
Hahaha! I’m right there with you. In fact, I should have her make me a bunch that say “I’m sorry I’m so fucking late” to hand out pretty much any time I’m supposed to go anywhere. The person I’m meeting can’t be as mad if I thought enough to get them a greeting card, right? 😉
