Lead Graffiti <i>N't</i> cards start with a dictionary definition and twist it backwards for fun. Below is the text for each of the cards.
*ailmen’t* *1*: not ailing, feeling much, much better *2*: finally getting out of bed to smell the flowers, skip around the block, say hello to the neighbors and dine on anything other than chicken noodle soup *3*: promising oneself never to complain about traffic or waiting in line or the girl behind the check-out counter because you don’t have to sleep with a bucket beside the bed
*ancien’t* *1*: not old, in fact, feeling younger with every single birthday *2*: getting stronger, wiser and spunkier with every year gone by and every candle added to the cake *3*: wearing the fountain of youth as if it were the latest greatest accessory *4*: staring age in the face and shouting “Oh, no, you don’t!”
*expectan’t* *1*: not expecting, living the dream that is finally parenthood! *2*: The act of going from great anticipation to being a real-life Ma Ma and Da Da *3*: diving whole-heartedly into the world of poopy diapers, permissible public burping and rocking the nights away with a front row seat to beddy bye *4*: deserving of good cheer and the will to bite your tongue after endless streams of unsolicited advice from people in line at the grocery store
*distan’t* *1*: not at all distant, seemingly close *2*: staying connected despite the miles in between *3*: letting someone know you miss them, letting someone know you love them, letting someone know you’ve made their favorite recipe, letting someone know they’ll still never beat your record *4*: just letting someone know they’re never far from your heart
*Expectan't* cards can be used for newborn announcements. *Ancien't* serves as an excellent birthday card, with *Ailmen't* for get well sentiments, and *Distan't* for wishing-you-were-here thoughts.
Printed slowly & patiently via letterpress on Crane Lettra, these A2 cards (4 1/8" x 5 1/2") are blank inside and come with a matching envelope. Cards are available sealed individually in a clear sleeve or in a Lead Graffiti boxed set of 8 cards (same design).
Clicking on the cards will show you an enlarged image.
