New from An April Idea

March 24, 2014 // kristen // 6 replies

The new paper goodies from Brisbane, Australia-based An April Idea are just the thing to brighten up a Monday morning. I’m totally digging the sweet illustrations and hand lettered goodness that can be found throughout their collection, which includes greeting cards, art prints, bookmarks (lovin’ the vintage light bulb design above), fill-in invites, notebooks, notepads, and more. You can check out their entire collection right here.

London-based design collaborative, Telegramme Studio, are purveyors of some badass paper goods. Gig posters, art prints, greeting cards – they’ve got a little bit of everything, and the retro modern style found throughout their collection is right up my alley. Here’s a taste of what you’ll find in the Telegramme shop (they have an Etsy shop, too) :

And I have to give a shout out to their Conversation Cards, each of which contains lined note paper that’s been stitched inside to help get the conversation started. Clever concept!

Mike Yamada and Victoria Ying are the husband and wife team behind Extracurricular Activities, an online shop that started out as a way for the couple to work on independent projects outside of their full-time jobs as concept artists for animation at Dreamworks and Disney, respectively, and has expanded to become an ever-growing line of beautifully illustrated cards, art prints, apparel, and digital accessories.

I am totally digging their greeting card lineup, which includes designs that feature everything from soothing landscapes to bustling cityscapes to seriously sweet characters. Here’s a peek at their cards, and be sure to head over to the Extracurricular Activities shop to see much more.
