Happy Bertie: These Irish Greeting Cards Are Absolute Genius

We all partied...

We all partied…

We’ve seen some alternative greeting cards in our time but these are just genius.

Siobhan Carroll wants folk to “forget the hallmark clichés and give good old Irish backhanded compliment” with these hilarious cards.

There are three cards in Carroll’s ‘Boomtime Rat’ series, (we see what she did there – very clever), all of which include Taoiseachs past and present.

The Charlie Hottie Valentine’s card is printed on the best quality card stock that taxpayer’s money can buy and comes with its very own brown envelope.

Happy Birthday

The ‘Happy Bertie’ card shows a jovial looking Bertie, accompanied with the message “we all partied”.

Sorry You’re Leaving

“Echoing the colour scheme of a dole cheque, interactive Enda gives you a choice, live on the breadline or leave your loved ones”, Carroll writes. 

Inside message reads: “…but it’s not the Enda the world”.

Each card costs €2.50 and if you’re interested in giving one to your nearest and dearest, you can get in contact with Siobhan via Facebook.
