Eco Friendly Paper : Amy Smyth Made It

January 14, 2008 // kristen // 0 replies

Amy Smyth recently debuted her 2008 collection, which includes over 100(!) new and/or improved colorful designs in every category, from birthday and bridal to moving and thank you.

Even better, the entire collection is printed on recycled paper — Neenah Environment, to be exact — and use recycled envelopes.

Below are several of my favorites:

Amy Smyth Made It Recycled Birthday Card

Amy Smyth Made It Recycled Good Luck Card

Amy Smyth Made It Recycled Bridesmaid Card

Amy Smyth Made It Recycled Football Invitation

I’m loving these cutie patootie illustrated paper goods from The Little Monkey. I just can’t resist kawaii owlies, octopii, quails, hedgehogs, and more! Illustrations are available in assorted sticker packs and on mini note cards.

Mandala Art and Photography by Allison Trentelman

These greeting cards by photographer Allison Trentelman of Mandala Art and Photography perfectly capture the beauty of the winter. And I really, really must think of this beauty on days like today, where it’s absolutely frigid outside and I don’t want to leave the comfort of my warm home. Allison also sells photographic art prints, though these greeting cards are beautiful enough to frame. $16.00 for a set of four.
