Palentines Designed by Able

February 10, 2009 // kristen // 0 replies

I love this idea, not to mention the name! Designed by Able have created a variety of Palentines, which spread the love in a different way by celebrating the relationship between two dudes. With sentiments such as “Steve McQueen is cool. Good thing, you kinda look like him” and “Here’s to our bromance”, what’s not to love? Download the PDF to print out all of the Palentines, and thanks to Designed by Able for the clever creations! – via How Blog

Press and Post Letterpress Cards and Vintage Stamps

February 09, 2009 // kristen // 0 replies

I’m loving the idea of the new Press & Post service from Things Are Better with a Parrott. If you love letterpress, and if you also love vintage stamps, then Press & Post was made for you.

As a Press & Post participant, you will receive a monthly delivery of one limited edition letterpress card, and at least two (or more) vintage postage stamps, along with one kraft envelope. The limited edition letterpress cards will be created only for those participating in the service, so it’s as if you’re receiving your own little letterpress collectible every month! See more information about Press & Post and sign up for either 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, or 1 year of the service here.

Black, White, and Silver from Ink+Wit

I’m really digging these letterpressed peel and stick labels and thank you notes by Ink+Wit. There’s just something about the designs that evokes winter for me; perhaps it’s the trees or the color palette, but whatever it is I’m loving it.

Happy New Year to all of you! Wow, it seems like it’s been forever since I last posted. My stack of paper cravings has only grown over the holiday break, and I’m back to sharing them with you starting today. So, enough chit chat and onto the paper goodies!

A Letterpress Christmas 2008 : Luxe Paperie

December 05, 2008 // kristen // 0 replies

I’m like a kid in a candy store when it comes to multi-vendor shops like Luxe Paperie. They carry paper lovelies (cards, gift wrap, calendars, gifts) from many of the top letterpress studios, like Snow & Graham, Hello! Lucky, Egg Press, and more, and the great part is that you only have to pay shipping once!

Actually, Paper Crave readers won’t have to pay for shipping at all if you order over $70 of boxed holiday cards from Luxe Paperie. Use promo code crave to receive free standard ground shipping from now until December 17, 2008. Thanks, Luxe Paperie!

You thought that I forgot the eye candy, didn’t you? Of course I didn’t, silly Paper Cravers! Here are some of my favorites for the season:
