I’m loving these gorgeous, laser-cut cupcake wrappers from Paper Orchid. They add a unique interest to any special occasion. Heck, I’d love to buy some just to use when I make cupcakes or muffins.

Paper Orchid also makes special laser-cut favor boxes (below), as well as matching invitations, envelope seals, and note cards.

April 21, 2008 // kristen // 0 replies

I’m loving this “paper bag” gift wrap from Paper Source. The retro modern designs, in a pretty and earthy palette of chocolate brown, red, black, and white, would be perfect for gifts, book and journal covers, or for your ever growing collection of paper pretties. $3.00 per sheet.

The gift wrap is part of Paper Source’s PS Green Choices collection and is printed on their Paper Bag, 100% recycled, 30% post consumer waste, paper. It is both archival and acid free. The white flourish design (lower left) is printed on 100% recycled kraft paper with 80% post consumer waste. It is the only design that is not acid free.
