About Roast & Roses

Two people. One busy printer.

Made at home. Posted by us.

We started making cards because we kept missing the middle ground: warm without the speech, funny without the performance.

It is still the two of us. We write, print and pack the cards at home, then take the day's orders to the post office.

How a card gets made

  1. 1

    Keep the decent ideas

    Most stay in the notebook. That is probably for the best.

  2. 2

    Make it sound human

    If it feels forced or needs explaining, it does not make the cut.

  3. 3

    Print, pack, post

    The cards are printed and packed at home, then the day's orders go to the post office.
