As you may have noticed, posting here at Paper Crave has become somewhat sparse recently, and I’ve officially decided to take a blogging break for a little while. I hope to return soon with lots of paper cravings for you to enjoy!

These letterpress coasters from Sara Ridgley Letterpress would make a perfect housewarming gift, don’t you think? The monograms are upscale, and the green border design is oh so chic. $12.00 for a set of 8.
I’m also loving Sara’s use of unique die cut shapes in many of her invitation, card, and gift tag designs. These baby carriage gift tags are some of my favorites. $4.00 for a set of 6.

There is some fantastic pattern-crafting going on over at Jones Notions’ Etsy shop. Heather, the patternmaster behind all of the Jones Notions creations, draws her inspiration from a variety of sources to come up with the eye-popping designs that make up her collection. I also like that she often lets us know where her inspiration came from in her product descriptions.
The best news? Jones Notions is having a Mid-summer buy one, get one free sale! What better excuse to add to your collection of paper goods?

The peeps at Pie Bird Press have mastered the art of finding beauty and vibrancy in the everyday. You’ll find everything from cherry pie to yarn to wonderful bunches on their cards, which are made from custom linoleum cuts that are hand-printed on an antique letterpress. Their pop-art-y style is truly a feast for the eyes!
Cards range in price from $3.00-$4.00 each, and you can pick up packages of 6 to 8, as well.

I’m quite intrigued by this nifty tag curling tool from Making Memories. It curls cute little pre-made metal tags around your ribbon and is perfect for embellishing ribbon on gifts, cards, and invitations. Making Memories has a visual step-by-step so you can see how the tool works, and you can find it at a variety of online scrapbooking stores. What will they think of next?

Spotted on Jotter … these adorable felt “breakfast” cards from Pea Soup by Nicole Golden. What better way is there to spread your love for all things bacon, toast, and more than by giving these cuties to your friends and family? Well, I suppose you could make a special breakfast for everyone that you know, but this involves much less dishwashing. $12.00 for a set of 5.

I’m digging these cute postcards from Sniff Design’s recently opened Etsy shop. The paper pretties are designed by Monica Cevallos, a lover of all things animal and the graphic designer behind Sniff Design Studio, a small print and web design studio geared toward serving businesses in the pet industry.
I love the philosophy behind the postcards: “Less is More — An expressive message does not have to be complicated.” $7.00 for a set of six (2 of each design).
