November 12, 2008 // kristen // 0 replies

Yay, it’s that time of the year again, time for Paper Crave’s 3rd annual “A Letterpress Christmas”. I have so many wonderful, beautiful letterpress holiday cards and more to show you this year, so many that I haven’t had time to make a new graphic for 2008. Heh, hopefully I’ll get to that soon!

First up this year are these lovely holiday cards from Anemone Letterpress. Anemone has a little something for everyone, including Christmas, Hanukkah, and New Year Cards, as well as a unique 2009 letterpress calendar, featuring Moroccan inspired patterns:

Eco Friendly Paper : Jacki Paper

November 05, 2008 // kristen // 0 replies

I can’t help but smile at these letterpress greeting cards from Jacki Paper. Their tagline is “kidhood recycled”, and I definitely get a sense of fun, humor, and joy from the entire line. It’s all about appreciating the simple things in life, and remembering what it’s like to be a kid.

Jacki Paper’s new cards are printed on paper made from at least 30% post consumer fibers that are green seal certified. The cards are letterpressed using soy based inks, and the cards are packaged in biodegradable sleeves made from corn. Yes, corn! See more of Jacki Paper’s cards and find out where you can pick them up on their website.

Bellis Monogram Letterpress Notes

I’m really digging these very upscale Monogram Letterpress Note Cards from Bellis Studios. I love the sophisticated gray and brown color scheme! Just looking at them makes me feel like a grown up, a feeling that (surprise!) I’m actually liking a lot. The set of 6 would make the perfect stocking stuffer, and they’d be a great addition to anyone’s stationery stash.

The Black Apple Ordinary Forest Postcards

October 28, 2008 // kristen // 0 replies

I’m a big fan of anything from The Black Apple, and I’m squeeing over The Ordinary Forest postcard sampler set, which features 11 reproductions of Black Apple paintings. This set would make a wonderful stocking stuffer, but be sure that you know your limitations and buy two sets if you know that you’ll be too tempted to play keepsies if you only buy one set. Hey, we all need to regularly add to our paper stashes, right?

Speaking of adding to our paper stashes, you’ll want to head over to the Inside A Black Apple blog and download the free printable Halloween card that Emily has so generously shared with all of us. So cute!
