The beautiful and whimsical wedding invitations, note cards, and personalized calling cards in the Enfin, La Voila! shop are the work of graphic designer Marijke Janssens, who has created a wonderland of paper pretties, including the art deco peacock invitations shown above.

Eco Friendly Paper : Product Superior

March 26, 2009 // kristen // 2 replies

I’m really digging the greeting cards from Product Superior — the pattern and illustration work shows such an impressive variety. Love The Octopus and the Submarine card, not to mention the art deco-ish patterns on many of their occasional cards.

Product Superior aims to be as environmentally sound as they can be, using FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) certified stock and printing their cards locally using soy inks and wind generated electricity.

Doodlespark Note Cards by Loop

March 23, 2009 // kristen // 0 replies

I’m loving the illustrations in the Doodlespark Note Card collection by Loop. Colorful and evocative, the hand drawn illustrations are the result of a collaborative drawing process between mother and daughter artist. Each note card shows a drawing that has been mailed back and forth between the two over the course of many months, and sometimes even years. Doodlespark Note Cards are available for purchase at Supermarket.
