Two Tone Press

The cheeky illustrations on these “Lover Series” letterpress postcards and stickers by Two Tone Press caught my attention — I think that many of them would be a great fit for fun Halloween greetings — and the rest of the Two Tone letterpress lineup kept me looking. I’m digging the feel of their cards, which feature hand drawn, carved linocut prints and interesting color palettes. Here’s a little eye candy:

I’m absolutely taken with the retro inspired designs on these letterpress greeting cards by Pup & Pony Press. So adorable! Wendy Emery, the founder and graphic designer / illustrator behind Pup & Pony, also creates fantastic linocut cards and even a few onesies featuring her illustrations. Check out the entire collection at the Pup & Pony Press Etsy shop, and find out more about the shop and Wendy here.

Lucky Bee Press

I felt a sense of warmth wash over me when I first spotted Lucky Bee Press’ lovely letterpress greeting cards, invitations, and gift tags. The images that decorate Lucky Bee’s cards include sweet children, woodland creatures, and florals often done in an outline style, and I can’t resist the adorable little hedgehogs featured on several cards and invitations, including one of their holiday designs (above). Lucky Bee has a special going right now; if you purchase their letterpress cards or tags in sets of six, then they are only $3 each!

I hope that everyone had a great weekend — a nice, long one if you observed Labor Day! And thanks to everyone for the continuing feedback via the reader survey. It seems that several of you are having problems seeing images via your feed readers or in your email subscriptions, and I appreciate you sharing more details with me so I can hopefully get to the bottom of this issue. I’m working on it! And, in the meantime, back to our regularly scheduled paper cravings…

Cuuuuute! Is there really more that you can say about these greeting cards from Sparklepaw? Cutie patootie whales, deer, owls, and even a little cloud that are sure to put a smile on your face. I also love how the illustrations feature patterns and textures that give the designs even more depth. Great stuff! Sparklepaw carries pocket mirrors and recipe cards, in addition to greeting cards, and you can see them all in their Etsy shop.

I always look forward to seeing what’s new at Night Owl Paper Goods. I was so excited to see that they’ve just released two of their trademark birch wood printed calendars for 2010 (shown above)! The Critter Calendar features twelve different animals having all sorts of fun, and the Pattern Calendar contains twelve stylish patterns and designerly elements.

Night Owl also has lots of great new birch wood printed cards, including an awesome owly pirate, a happy little whale, and a birthday piglet:
