FoxAndHeartCards

Fox and Heart is a vintage inspired greeting card line, started by me, Tanya Kechichian. I opened my online shop in January 2014 after having realized I had a growing collection of cards I had designed for my friends and family. Although I'm a photographer by trade, my love for graphic design and the need to constantly create during any downtime is what escalated an occasional hobby into an ever-growing line.

I often look to the cosmos or delve into the slightly macabre for inspiration. I'm thrilled by finding beautiful textures and old typography, fading illustrations and vintage anatomy. Much of the imagery I use comes from the pre-1920s, which I then manipulate, piece together, and take out of context to create something new altogether- a digital collage of sorts.

Each card is printed, cut, folded and packaged by me. I use a high quality cotton card stock, rich in texture, for most my cards and since I digitally print it absorbs the color beautifully. I made a conscious decision from the start to omit text inside the cards as a way of encouraging people to write a thoughtful, personal message. I strive to have my cards look unique, and so I hope the content within them will be too.
