WELCOME TO ICE BOX GREETING CARDS!
For eight years Duluth mailman Dik LaPine has been making homemade thank you cards for the people on his mail route. His patrons collected the cartoon cards and even framed them because they captured the spirit of northern Minnesota. The northern scenes of moose, bears, and sled dogs reflect his mailman daydreams and daily
encounters that warm his heart. After making thousands of cards, it finally dawned on him that maybe other people outside of his mail route might like having his cards as well. Thus, began the journey to create a greeting card that was truly vintage northern Minnesota and Wisconsin.
It is the vision of Ice Box Cards to provide a greeting that allows you to write your own thoughts of communication
within cute quality cartoon cards which have their captions on the back of the cards rather than inside. This will allow you to express your love, appreciation, sympathies, and encouragements without having the cards' captions interfering with
your own personal thoughts.
We are proud to announce the newest release of Dik's 2011 line of iceboxcards just in time for the Christmas season. We hope you enjoy the new line and share these cards with your friends so they too can have the coolest icebox in their neighborhood! |

30 SPLIT ROCK
For those of us who grew up in northern Minnesota, the Split Rock Lighthouse conveys the feelings of home and security. The lighthouse is a favorite haunt for tourist and native alike. When you send this card, you are showing that you want your friends or family members to remember that as long as they have you in their life, they have someone watching and praying for their safety and well being.

SOMETHING'S FISHY
The germ of this card comes from the author’s childhood. When he drew this card up, he was caught in a nostalgic daydream of fishing with his father and grandfather off a dock in northern Minnesota. Perfect card to send dad on Father’s Day or his birthday or just to let him know that he is still and always will be that mentor in your life..

AGONY OF COLD FEET
Nothing in the north conveys fear like looking down the ramp of a ski jump. This card, therefore, is perfect for that occasion when a loved one or friend is facing a big hurdle in his or her life. A card of this stature can provide encouragement, comfort, or just a gentle nudge to help that person achieve his or her destiny of greatness.
