I’m really enjoying these letterpressed cards and gift wrap from Manhattan based graphic design studio, Sarah Marie Designs. Love the bold patterns and bright colors!
Sarah Marie Designs is an eco friendly company and prints their cards on 100% cotton paper using soy-based inks. The gift wrap is also printed with an FSC-certified printer, on 30% post-consumer recycled paper.

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.

Treeo Design is an environmentally friendly, upstate New York based shop that specializes in fun, modern gift wrap and gift boxes (it looks like they also have wallpaper and fabric designs on the way).
All of the paper that Treeo uses in their products is FSC Certified, which means that no trees were unnecessarily harmed during the printing of their products. They also use vegetable based inks to print their designs.
I’m quite partial to Treeo’s “Pompom Chicken” design, available on both gift boxes and gift wrap, which I find absolutely irresistable!

There’s no reason why you can’t be both a stylish gift-wrapper and environmentally friendly. Fish Lips Paper Designs proves this point through their many unique, modern gift wrap designs…all printed on 100% post-consumer recycled paper using soy based inks.
Use and re-use the gift wrap for book covers, placemats, wall art, draw liners, and pretty much anything else that you can think of! $4.00 per sheet at Fish Lips.

Blueprint Magazine made the sad announcement recently that the magazine will cease publication after the release of their January/February 2008 issue; however, you will undoubtedly still be able to find many of the lovely craft ideas from the magazine, like these ultra sophisticated printable gift wrap designs from the November/December 2007 issue, online at the Martha site. Farewell, Blueprint!
