Dialectable is an exciting range of greetings cards and giftware. We incorporate phrases from local dialect and combine them with classic and colourful design!
About
Dialectable cards were dreamt up by yours truly sometime during the Summer of 2013.
Being a colloquial sort myself, I wondered if there were any greetings cards that embraced both regional dialect and the everyday stuff we come all come out with.
A few internet searches later, and I couldn't find anything like the greetings card range that was developing in my mind. I love language, and both the sense of patriotism and nostalgia that local dialect brings. I love colloquialisms; those little phrases that just sum it all up in a second.
Another passion throughout my life has been colour. From being a small child, I have always loved and understood it. The combination of the two was leading me towards a striking range of cards.
6 months and four designs later, I arrived at what you see today. Bright, retro, flat tints on matt board. Dialectable cards are all about the words, so the design has been stripped back to expose them fully.
There are sixteen colours in the current Dialectable palette, which go from one end of the colour spectrum to the other. When placed together, they make a dramatic display. The cards tell a story, they raise a smile. I hope they make people happy.
