Wiley Valentine Aubergine & Fuchsia Wedding Invitations

Okay, so I may have to bump navy + pink as my current top color obession after spotting these aubergine + fuchsia lovelies by Wiley Valentine in my inbox. How rich and gorgeous are these colors, and coupled with the ornate pattern? Absolutely stunning.

The custom wedding invitations, created for a client of one of their retailers, Molly’s Paperie, are based on Cohen from Wiley Valentine’s Luxe Album and are flat printed on 100% tree-free cotton paper. The custom suite also features a fantastic script font and completely swoon-worthy coordinating patterned envelope liners. Are you ready for more aubergine and fuchsia invitation eye candy?

Weekly Wrap #36 : Eco-Friendly Elegance

August 06, 2010 // kristen // 2 replies

This screenprinted, handmade banana paper at Kate’s Paperie would make beautiful gift wrap, though I think that I’d have trouble bringing myself to use it because it’s just so pretty. It’s rather spendy, so I’d reserve the paper for very special gifts, and I think that the only embellishment it would need, if anything, is a white or silver satin ribbon. Simple. Elegant. The paper is available in silver on sage and silver on natural.

Have a great weekend, everyone, and see you back here next week. In the meantime, don’t forget to enter the Envelopments Roll-O-Decks giveaway. The entries so far are fantastic — keep them coming!

New Letterpress Wedding Invitations by Pistachio Press

July 29, 2010 // kristen // 3 replies

Pistachio Press just launched three new letterpress wedding invitation designs, and they’re all absolutely gorgeous! I can’t decide which I like the best, but I think I have a big crush on the Mexican Tile design. I absolutely love the design elements, and the shade of ink that’s used in this example is fab-u-lous!

So darling — bunnies and bunting!

Bunny Bunting Letterpress Wedding Invitations

And I’m really liking the stylized feathers in this design. If you chose an autumnal color for this suite — all of the invitations have customizable color and font options — you’ll have a beautiful feather/leaf look for a fall wedding or occasion.

Pistachio Press uses rubber-based inks and biodegradable citrus-based solvents for press clean-up, and they print on 100% tree-free cotton papers or recycled papers that contain at least 30% post-consumer waste. They also re-use or recycle office and shipping supplies.

Little Otsu Notepads

July 08, 2010 // kristen // 2 replies

I’m a big time list maker, which means that I’m always on the lookout for stylish notepads where I can jot down to do lists, grocery lists, and general need-to-remember kinds of things. Little Otsu has got it going on with several cutie patootie notepads, including absolutely adorable illustrated cat and dog notepads by Gemma Correll, Things to Remember notepads by Keri Smith, and lovely Clouds & Trees notepads by Martine Workman. All of the notepads are printed using soy inks on 100% post consumer waste recycled paper, so they’re eco-friendly, too!
