A Letterpress Christmas 2008 : Luxe Paperie

December 05, 2008 // kristen // 0 replies

I’m like a kid in a candy store when it comes to multi-vendor shops like Luxe Paperie. They carry paper lovelies (cards, gift wrap, calendars, gifts) from many of the top letterpress studios, like Snow & Graham, Hello! Lucky, Egg Press, and more, and the great part is that you only have to pay shipping once!

Actually, Paper Crave readers won’t have to pay for shipping at all if you order over $70 of boxed holiday cards from Luxe Paperie. Use promo code crave to receive free standard ground shipping from now until December 17, 2008. Thanks, Luxe Paperie!

You thought that I forgot the eye candy, didn’t you? Of course I didn’t, silly Paper Cravers! Here are some of my favorites for the season:

Linda & Harriett 2009 Letterpress Wall Calendar and Christmas Trimming Cards

Lab Partners for Hello! Lucky Winter Wonderland Letterpress Cards and Gift Wrap

Egg Press Love and Peace Birds Letterpress Cards

Snow & Graham Flatpressed Menorah Cards, Cocoa Cups Noteblock, and Reindeer Games Gift Wrap

I’m really digging these letterpress holiday cards and gift tags from Spring Olive and, hey, they have a photo card, too! Plus, check out the squee-worthy, hand drawn typography on the “Happy Holidays from Chicago” card:

A Letterpress Christmas 2008 : Holiday Photo Cards

December 02, 2008 // kristen // 1 replies

I know that many of you have been looking for the perfect holiday photo card, and I’ve been promising a photo card post but haven’t yet delivered. Sorry about that, but I just kept finding more to add to my list! I think that I’ve finally finished my research (can you really call it research if it’s fun?), and today is officially “holiday photo card” day.

I found so many wonderful photo cards that I’ve split them into two posts. This post is all about letterpress holiday photo cards, and the following post will feature non-letterpress cards. So, here are my faves, and I just have to say that I’m so happy that more independent shops are starting to create the photo cards!

Ho Ho Ho Snowman from Page Stationery

Holly, Jolly Christmas from Pistachio Hill

Snowy Blanket, Ice Caps, and Curly Willow (top to bottom) from Elum
