Happify 2009 Calendar

December 05, 2008 // kristen // 0 replies

I’m absolutely loving Happify’s 2009 calendar, with its striking chocolate brown and white illustrations. How awesome is the “April Whale”?! Each month cleverly turns into a postcard, so you can easily mail the super fun illustrations, though would you really want to part with them? Maybe you should buy two, one for sending and one to keep! $12.00 from Happify.

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:

Linda & Harriett 2009 Letterpress Wall Calendar and Christmas Trimming Cards

Lab Partners for Hello! Lucky Winter Wonderland Letterpress Cards and Gift Wrap

Egg Press Love and Peace Birds Letterpress Cards

Snow & Graham Flatpressed Menorah Cards, Cocoa Cups Noteblock, and Reindeer Games Gift Wrap
