Wee find: Card Lust Yoga Cards App
I have a confession to make: I am terrible at sending cards on time. Look, I have every good intention of sending cards on time, but somehow I always end up shuffling to the post-office with my shame-faced belated greetings. It’s embarrassing. Something’s gotta change.
Enter (and download) the super-delicious Card Lust app. Scroll through the gorgeous artist-designed cards and text, email or share your love and greetings on social media. It’s almost obscenely easy. So much nicer than a text with a frantic line-up of over-used emojis. (I still can’t resist a smiling poo, though,)
New to Card Lust’s line-up is a rather unique collection of beautiful yoga-themed cards.
“This is going to sound a tad Portlandia,” says Card Lust creator Felicity Loughrey, “I got the idea for yoga cards after a family yoga class at Brooklyn Boulders – an enormous indoor climbing gym that has Saturday morning family sessions.”
“The class was so brilliant I wanted to text all my friends. I wanted a yoga-themed note to share the news. I then started thinking that yoga teachers might want to use cards to connect with students. Maybe friends would want to use the yoga-inspired Card Lust notes to text their girlfriends.”
She had me at Portlandia. The four new yoga cards feature whimsical watercolours of various yoga poses by Elspeth Tremblay, a Philadelphia-based illustrator.
Send a touch of zen or a note of namaste to your nearest and dearest.
