These Rob Ryan cards can be considered a downsize from the London-based artist's other papercut works, which cost hundreds of dollars. The visual artist has now created a series of too-cute greeting cards for the hopeless romantic in you.
The cutting wizard's card designs have 'Aww'-inducing memos like this one featured on the 'Love Poem' card: "Can we, shall we? One day, very soon. Let us go away together just you and me..." Just when you thought paper cards were dead, Rob Ryan cards may bring them back in vogue.
