Look Linger Love

I’m so excited to finally share a fun project I worked on with Peeps Paper Products! It was a dream of mine to have custom playing cards made for Coral House. So when I discovered LouLou and her incredible company Peeps Paper Products I knew I needed to make it happen. LouLou specializes in water color illustrated custom playing cards and paper products. Her whimsical designs have been featured in Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar, Elle Decor… And I knew her aesthetic was the perfect match for Coral House!

 

 

Above, you can see the watercolor illustration of our Coral House logo (designed by my amazingly talented friend Jackie at 42 Pressed) that LouLou painted for the back design on the deck of the cards. I knew I wanted the logo to be used prominently and this was the perfect place for it.

 

 

Next LouLou set out to create 4 illustrations for each suit in the deck. We wanted the deck to feel playful and fun (being a card deck for a Bahamas house and all), so we chose a vacation theme with a twist!

 

 

Each illustration depicts a different animal vacationing on Harbour Island!!

 

 

Golf Carting Flamingos – Anyone who has been to Harbour Island knows that golf carts are part of the experience. I love the flowers and palm trees backdrop.

 

 

Beachy Roosters  – Another Harbour Island staple, chickens and roosters are everywhere on the island. I love how LouLou depicted this guy under an umbrella with his picnic basket.

 

 

Snorkeling Birds – Obviously we needed to incorporate an ocean activity since our beaches are my favorite thing about Harbour Island. So we needed birds snorkeling, duh! I love the pink coral and the blue fish in this one.

 

 

Poolside Pig – This one is extra special to me because LouLou drew her inspiration from this instagram I posted at Coral House. Sure, we may have swimming pigs in the Bahamas, but this is so much better.

 

 

I couldn’t be happier with how these cards turned out. They’ll be perfect for Coral House guests! Thanks to my friend Alex at Over the Moon for introducing me to Peeps Paper Products (have you seen their special Charleston Playing Cards in their shop??). And huge thanks to LouLou for helping me bring this deck to life! I highly recommend you check out Peeps Paper Products, maybe get a custom deck of your own (they make GREAT gifts, are fun for bachelorette parties, weddings…)!
