An antidote to the overt sentimentality of standard cards, Alison Riley’s Stop Talking Cards take a more direct approach. Compactly sized to fit in your wallet or business-card holder, they simply read “Stop talking.” If you feel the recipient may not fully grasp the not-so-subtle ironic wit, customize the message on the blank back. Riley, a self-taught designer and lover of words (preferably in print, rather than spoken), founded her company in 2004 to offer intelligent designs in a conscious way. The Stop Talking Cards are printed with soy ink on 100% post-consumer recycled cardstock.
