7 JNB Lettering Thank You Cards

In 2014, Whitworth alumna Jacquelyn Barnes started making cards to give her family something more personal than the usual grocery store card-aisle suspects. She hand-draws the card designs and scans them into Illustrator to trace and color them, creating a look that's charming, personal and far from cheesy. The cards are sold in bundles at Indaba downtown and the Book Parlor in West Central; check out her Etsy shop for more products. $15
