Dear Deer Designs

When a mischievous sense of humor, fine-tuned illustrations and environmental consciousness collide the ingenuous cards/finger puppets and gift tags/bookmarks at Dear Deer Designs are the result. With a Dear Deer finger puppet greeting card you can make a host of literary luminaries including Mark Twain, Edgar Allan Poe and Shakespeare “dance, dance, dance” any time, night or day!

“It’s about fun. Lots of fun!” says Dear Deer Designs founder, Dan Leanio, “At Dear Deer Designs, we provide unique cards and stationary items with an air of sophisticated silliness. I hope these creations will put smiles on faces everywhere they go.” One look at his catalogue of creations and it’s clear that his mission has been accomplished.

In addition to detailed artwork and a generous helping of good fun, this shop also features a distinct attention to sustainability and reuse in all aspects of the shop. “We focus on making items with extended life cycles, and only use one hundred percent post consumer recycled papers,” explains the owner of this Minneapolis-based shop, “So a greeting card is also a finger puppet, a gift tag becomes a bookmark, and a tree stays a tree.” Like so many of the truly wonderful things in life, a Dear Deer Design creation is much more than it first appears to be.
