Eco Friendly Paper : Ecojot

November 05, 2008 // kristen // 0 replies

I’m absolutely taken with Ecojot’s line of paper goods, designed by Carolyn Gavin and featuring super whimsical and fun retro modern illustrations. The cheery and colorful artwork can be found on their full range of products, which includes workbooks, notebooks and notepads, and even super cool file folders!

Ecojot’s paper is 100% recycled from 100% post-consumer waste and is also 100% designed and made in Canada, but you can find their line in many shops in the US, Canada, and internationally. See their full line and find out where you can pick up some lovely Ecojot goods here. Thanks to Mary for the tip!

I’m loving pretty much everything from Boston based Two Trick Pony. Their line includes cards and invitations featuring lovely color palettes (are we calling them colorways now?) and both bold, modern patterns and cute illustrations.

Two Trick Pony’s paper goods are screenprinted on 100% post-consumer waste recycled paper and include everything from all occasion notecards to thank yous to baby shower invites to holiday greetings (you have to check out their Christmas cards below…love the blue and red!). Purchase cards and art prints at Two Trick Pony’s Etsy shop, and see their entire collection here.

Eco Friendly Paper : Typoretum

September 04, 2008 // kristen // 3 replies

UK based letterpress shop, Typoretum, just launched an outstanding line of hand-printed, limited edition cards created using antique wooden and metal letterpress type, decorative borders, and printers’ fleurons. I’m loving their use of the antique type to create modern cards, and I’m drooling over the pictures of antique type that compliment the images of their card line at their website.

Typoretum’s cards are printed using vegetable-based inks, and the paper used is 100% cotton fiber, a by-product of the clothing industry. You can purchase cards on Typoretum’s website.

Eco Friendly Paper : Night Owl Paper Goods 2009 Desktop Calendar

August 21, 2008 // kristen // 0 replies

I realize that it’s a bit early to be talking about 2009 calendars, but I’m starting to see some fantastic ones and can’t help but talk about them now! Plus, the end of the year will be here before we know it, and getting a new calendar a bit early will give you a head start.

Drool…Night Owl Paper Goods’ 2009 desktop calendar is a work of art, and I know that I would look always forward to flipping over to a new month so I could see what wonderful illustration awaits me. The wooden calendar features folksy, original illustrations and is made from sustainably harvested birch, douglas fir, and walnut.

And I also have to give mention to the adorable “Corny Raccoon” card because, well, it’s adorable:
