Salt & Syrup was started by Emily Ranneby, an American illustrator and designer living in Stockholm, Sweden. Emily is a newcomer to the stationery market, but seems to be rolling on strong momentum as her work is popping up on blogs and in magazines. Her letter-pressed cards are mini art pieces and would fit in a frame as easily as they do envelopes. In her debut collection Emily combines images of wildlife creatures and each card features an unexpected combination of the subject’s name in Swedish, French, and English.  This unexpected grouping adds another level of distinctive flair to each set.

Salt & Syrup cards are appealing to both children and adults with their use of bright colors. From Emily's site: "Dedicated to concocting vibrant and deliciously unexpected combinations that simply work, we get great satisfaction from things like combining modern, scandinavian designs with old fashioned, hands-on printing techniques. plus, we’re crazy about all those little details that make things come together. like the texture of fine quality paper."
