Happy Evil holidays, everyone! All right, I admit it, I’m a geek. When I saw these stamped Cthulhu Christmas cards from Giggedy Geekmum, I squealed just a little, and the geeky little voice in the back of my head said, “No freakin’ way!” If you aren’t familar with the green, tentacle-faced being, he is a creation of sci fi author H.P. Lovecraft and is often referenced in pop culture when speaking of extreme evil. (My favorite of Geekmum’s card captions is, “Looks like *someone* was naughty!”) Using an ingenious technique, Geekmum created her own Cthulhu stamp, enabling her to crank out a lot of cards in just a little time! Don’t send cards? Use them as gift tags instead! [how to make stamped Cthulhu Christmas cards]

Those are adorable! I have some friends who would find those right up their alley.

Sounds like copyright infringement? Cute though.

I think it should be okay as fair use in derivative work but copyright laws are kind of hard to understand.

I think as long as you are making them for your own personal use, it’s all right.
