I’m so happy to welcome Paper Crave’s two newest advertisers, Shichijiro and Petite Marionette!

Shichijiro is a brand new shop specializing in absolutely adorable invitations, save the dates, and announcements. You can personalize and preview right on the site, which is both fun and convenient! Check out their full line at Shichijiro.com.

Petite Marionette specializes in fun art prints, greeting cards, and my favorite, personalized note card sets that would make great gifts. I’m really digging the postage stamp motif on their note cards. You can check out everything that Petite Marionette offers at their Etsy shop.

New Ingela Cards at Lagom

March 24, 2010 // kristen // 2 replies

I’m a big, big fan of Ingela Peterson Arrhenius, a freelance illustrator based in Sweden, so I was super excited to see that Lagom recently added eight new greeting card designs to their Ingela line. Her work is so colorful and fun, and I love the retro feel of her illustrations!

Unfortunately, Lagom only ships to the UK and Europe, so if you don’t happen to live in these places, then you’re out of luck if you don’t have a friend in Great Britain or Europe who can hook you up with these paper goodies. But you can still take in all of the fantastic eye candy, no matter where you are:

I’m thoroughly enjoying all of the letterpress pretties from Los Angeles area letterpress shop, Flora and Fauna Press, who specialize in oh so pretty letterpress wedding invitations and greeting cards for all occasions. I’m loving the hummingbird card and the cute mustache Father’s Day card (both included below). You can check out their whole line at Flora and Fauna. Thanks, Christine!
