Ayumi Piland Gocco Cards APAKSTUDIO

How would I describe Ayumi Piland’s illustration style? Well, it’s like a big ball of whimsical kawaii combined with a healthy dose of retro style and kick butt color schemes. However you describe it, you can’t deny that the illustrations put a smile on your face, and who can resist a card that makes you smile?

Ayumi’s greeting cards and limited edition prints are available through the APAKSTUDIO Etsy shop. Each greeting card is screenprinted by hand using a Gocco. Pictured, clockwise from top left: Bunny Berry, For You, and Bunny Family cards. $4.00 each.

Wooster & Prince Printed Coasters

I’m digging all of the pretty patterned Wooster & Prince paper goods at Soleberry. Above, intricate patterns in blue and yellow printed on coasters. How fancy! I think these would make great framed wall art, too.

Wooster & Prince Printed Notes
Wooster & Prince Listpads

Above, wonderfully patterned notes and matching listpads in Hudson (turquoise and olive), Sullivan (sunflower yellow and grey), and Thompson (wine and pomegranate) patterns. Love the subdued, sophisticated color palettes.

Laura Crow Bunny Cards

These Peter Cotton Tail bunny cards from Laura Crow are the sweetest, with their fuzzy pom pom tails. Tee hee, the fuzzy tails make me giggle. The cards also come in pink with white tails and would be perfect for Easter and spring.

In addition to being a creator of cute cards, Laura is also a photographer, and she has made some of her beautiful art prints available for purchase:

Haute Note Personalized Social Stationery

Just the idea of having my own personalized social stationery makes me feel posh. Haute Note, a Canadian company that offers a modern take on the tradition, has many elegant designs that feature everything from animal patterns (love the zebra!) to celebratory illustrations to kitchen tools. I love the unique fold on their Haute Note signature cards, too.

Shop by style or occasion and add personalized information like your name, a special phrase or announcement, etc. You can turn Haute Note’s stationery into whatever you’d like — moving announcements, wedding invitations, or simply notes to friends.

Styles pictured above, from top to bottom: Eucalyptus, Kaleidoscope, and Coral.

Remanents Custom Couture Fabric Card
Remanents Bridesmaid Thank You Card

I love the concept behind Remanents’ Custom Couture Fabric Cards (top). What could be more custom than using a piece of fabric from your own wedding or bridesmaid’s dress to help create wedding or shower invites? The Wedding Dress Custom Fabric Cards come with a self-adhesive backing that allows you to easily insert a piece of whatever fabric you’d like to create the skirt of the dress.

Remanents has swanky thank you cards for all of your shoe-obsessed bridesmaids (bottom), too, in addition to wedding invitations, gift enclosures, and place cards. By the way, they also design super cute shoe gift wrap.
