Elegant Gift Wrap Crane & Co.

Crane & Co. recently began offering five of their fabulous envelope liner papers as full sheets that can be used as ultra elegant gift wrap or incorporated into an endless number of scrapbooking, paper crafting, and home decorating projects.

The ultra luxe papers include (above, clockwise from top left): the flora specked, soft green and gold Twilight; the vintage map embellished, wanderlust-evoking Old World Charm; the classically understated, fleur-de-lis  patterned Fleurs Truly; and the verdant, Midori-crafted Berries & Birds.

So lovely!

Ms. Bliss and Laura Hooper Calligraphy

Laura Hooper Illustrated Wedding Maps

I know that more than a few of you out there are in the process of planning weddings. If so, or if you’ve already gone through it, you will undoubtedly identify with the future bride whose wedding adventure is chronicled in Ms. Bliss, a blog sponsored by stationer Crane & Co. about a bride-to-be who is planning her Adirondack wedding. She recently visited the National Stationery Show and has several pics from the event, and there’s much paper inspiration to be found in the blog.

While I was checking out Ms. Bliss, I discovered the wonderfully whimsical illustrated wedding maps (and other work) of calligrapher Laura Hooper. She also keeps a blog called A Lucky Orchid Wedding, which features many images of her more recent projects. Eye candy-licious!

Crane & Co. Save the Date Cards

More wedding goodies at Crane & Co. This time it’s save the date cards. I love the deep, rich colored backgrounds on the Engraved Espresso (top left) and Engraved Navy Blue (top right) save the date cards. Ultra sophisticated, and the deep colored paper makes such an impact.

The little details can make a big difference. I adore the little “belly band” and tag on the Engraved Taupe save the date cards (bottom left). Great beachy or summery color scheme, too. And the modern flower and vase illustration is standout on the Floral Vase personalized save the date cards (bottom right).

Kate Spade Wedding Invitations

Kate Spade Engraved Garden Bough Wedding Invitations

Wow, I’m absolutely taken with the Engraved Bough wedding ensemble by Kate Spade. Black and yellow as a wedding color scheme — if I hadn’t have seen these I wouldn’t have realized how beautiful this could be.

Kate Spade Brush Stroke Floral Wedding Invitations

I’m also digging the more casual Brushstroke Floral wedding invites. Love the whimsical, stylized florals and the bright pink on white. Sophisticated, yet laid back at the same time.

Both ensembles, as well as other styles from Kate Spade, are available at Fine Stationery and Crane & Co.
