I’m all about decorative tape lately, and I just about squealed when these pretties by designer Carolyn Gavin for TapeSwell popped up in my email.

TapeSwell offers single rolls of decorative tape, combo packs, envelope wraparounds, and very clever mailing label tape. So cute, and did you see that they have a faux bois style?! I’m totally there! Thanks for the tip, Mary!

Linnea’s Lights Packaging by Funnel

Linnea's Lights Funnel

The packaging for soy candle company, Linnea’s Lights, created by Funnel, makes both the graphic designer and the candlemaker in me swoon. I love, love, love the chipboard containers (why couldn’t I find any of those when I made candles?!), and the diecut labels are beautiful. It doesn’t look like Linnea’s Lights sells their candles on their website (yet), but I hope that they do in the future because I’d love to check them out. Spotted on The Dieline.

Paper Crave Halloween Freebies : Spooky Bois Boxes and Stickers

Halloween Treat Boxes

If you’ve read Paper Crave for any length of time, then you know how I love pretty much anything faux bois. The printable Halloween paper craft of the day is what I call my Spooky Bois Treat Boxes.

The boxes are large enough that they should fit any fun size candy bar (not Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, but why would you be giving those away?!) or an array of smaller candies and treats. They would also work well as favor boxes or even small gift boxes, and I’ve included stickers, too!

A Brief Interlude

I’ll be leaving today for an unplanned trip out of town and will be gone for the rest of this week and the entirety of next week. But I’ll be posting again starting the 21st.

While I’m gone, I won’t have access to email, but I’ll start responding to those emails that I’ve received in the past day or two and those I’ll receive while I’m gone starting on the 21st.

Apologies in advance for the absence of paper craves in the next week and a half. Thanks for understanding!
