Black, White, and Silver from Ink+Wit

January 08, 2009 // kristen // 0 replies

I’m really digging these letterpressed peel and stick labels and thank you notes by Ink+Wit. There’s just something about the designs that evokes winter for me; perhaps it’s the trees or the color palette, but whatever it is I’m loving it.

Hello Lucky Has a New Website

January 06, 2009 // kristen // 0 replies

A new year brings a new website for letterpress favorite, Hello! Lucky. I’m absolutely smitten with the adorable food illustrations in the “Greeting Cards” section. Animated food makes me smile every time, and the dancing ice cream treats and condiments remind me of the “Let’s All Go to the Lobby” cartoon that theaters used to show before a movie! Anyway, do you really need an excuse to check out Hello! Lucky?

Little Brown Pen Printable Cards

Little Brown Pen Printable Cards

Apologies for the late posting today — I’m just finishing up the most chaotic part of my holiday season, which includes much baking, gift wrapping, and waiting in line at the super busy post office to mail packages to family and friends.

Thankfully, I can now breathe a little sigh of relief (the big sigh comes when everyone has received their package in one piece) and talk about these adorable printable stationery sets from Little Brown Pen. The Mitten and Stocking packages include everything that you’ll need for a coordinated and economical holiday: printable templates for a folded notecard, a flat notecard, a gift card, and an envelope. Purchase the templates, add paper and a printer, and voilà … an entire holiday paper suite!

Little Brown Pen Printable Cards

I also love the idea of these printable coloring cards, a great alternative to a coloring book and a fun way to spend a holiday afternoon with the kids … or crayon-loving adults, like myself.
