Happy 2017, everyone! I’m trying to get back into the swing of things after the holiday break and am excited to be able to share some of the craveable, non-holiday paper goods that caught my eye while I was in the swirl of holiday paper posts.

If you love embroidery, then you’ve gotta check out the Happy Cactus Designs shop, where you’ll find beautiful, hand embroidered art, art prints, and home goods, as well as this collection of stationery, which features photo reproductions of Happy Cactus’ gorgeous, hand embroidered floral and botanical patterns. These cards make me want to break out my needle and thread and start stitching!

Holiday Card Picks : Happy New Year Cards

December 19, 2016 // kristen // 0 replies

I’m still trying to accept the fact that Christmas is less than a week away, but before we know it, the sparkly ball in Times Square will be droppin’, champagne corks will be poppin’, and the new year will be here. 2017. Twenty seventeen. The big 1-7.

Now, if you still find yourself sans Christmas cards, nevermind the greeting writing, addressing, and sending of said Christmas cards that you haven’t yet bought, you might want to look into sending Happy New Year cards. So many awesome stationery shops have added New Year cards to their collections in recent years, and there are plenty of great options that range from elegant to clever and funny.

So, if you missed the boat with Christmas cards, first of all, you’re not alone. And second of all, it’s no biggie because there are oodles of Happy New Year cards, including the shiny and bright bunch below, just waiting for the chance to end up in the mailboxes of your friends and family!

It’s just about time to wrap up my holiday card picks for the season. *sadface* The time goes by so quickly every year, and I always, always want to feature more cards because there are just so many awesome designs out there. Alas, mid-December and holiday shipping deadlines have a habit of sneaking up on me, and I must stop.

But I still have this roundup of awesome holiday card designs to share with you today, and I’ll be back next week with some fantastic cards for the New Year, too!
