New Advertisers : November 2009

I’m excited to welcome two new advertisers to Paper Crave this month: Give Studio and Spark Stationery!

Give Studio Letterpress

Give Studio has a lovely collection of letterpress greeting cards, card sets, and personalized stationery featuring modern, whimsical illustrations and hand lettering. They also do their part for the environment by using recyclable packaging, biodegradable card sleeves, and envelopes made from recycled paper. Pretty and eco-friendly – what more could you ask?

Letterpress Love Spark Stationery

I recently mentioned the launch of Spark Stationery’s brand new website, letterpresslove.com, where you can find plenty of eye candy just by looking at the website design! But there’s oh so much more to be found in the pages of their new web digs, including a portfolio filled with beautiful letterpress cards and invitations and a blog, where you can keep up on the latest from Spark.

French Vintage Lovelies

French Vintage DIY

If you love French vintage loveliness, then you must head over to iDiY! Luzel has put together a series of French Vintage Goodies, which includes free printable table number card, place card, and label templates by Wedding Style Guide (shown above), and a gorgeous Crown Wedding Suite, free (!) to download from The Wedding Chicks (shown below). If you’re feeling crafty, the series also includes a seriously lovely DIY screen printed table runner and a tutorial for re-creating the look of vintage French linens.

Watercolor Fall Leaves

Beverly Brown Printable Fall Leaf Place Cards

Beverly Brown Printable Fall Leaf Place Cards

These beautiful watercolor fall leaf place cards by Beverly Fleur Brown will be the perfect touch to your Thanksgiving table, or even an autumn wedding, and would you ever guess that they’re printables? Just purchase, download, customize, and print, and you’ll have lovely place setting cards for your special dinner.

Beverly Brown Printable Fall Leaf Collage Sheet

Beverly has created a matching fall leaves collage sheet, as well, that you can print onto sticker paper and use in scrapbooking or as elements in handmade greetings and party favors. My favorite suggestion from Beverly is to print these onto transfer paper to make fall leaf napkins. She even has a tutorial for the napkins right here.

Love Notes by Wiley Valentine

My heart was set aflutter when I spotted the launch of the new Love Notes collection by Wiley Valentine over at Style Me Pretty. Pretty pinks, gorgeous type and illustrative elements, and a beautiful quote about love by Voltaire — how very appropriate for a collection called Love Notes! And I’m in love with the inspiration board behind the collection, which includes a swoon-worthy book cover, designed in part by the awesome Marian Bantjes, for a collection of love poetry by Pablo Neruda:
