Invitations

We’re in the fourth week of “Invitation Tuesday” here at Paper Crave (yay!). I’ve really enjoyed featuring a couple of invites over here each week, and I hope that you’re getting inspiration from the invitation eye candy, too!

Every few weeks, I’ll be bringing a bit of Invitation Crush over here in the form of a quick roundup so you can have a look at a few of the great invitations, announcements, and save the dates that I’ve been featuring over there. Today is the first roundup, and it allows me to see that I seem to be on “woodgrain” and “clever” kicks lately. It’s funny how we can get into patterns (or visual obsessions, as the case may be) without even realizing!

City Set Prints by Bandito Design Co.

Squee! I’m a total medievalphile (is this even a word?), so it was love at first sight when I spotted this medieval cityscape print set by Bandito Design Co. I don’t think that I can resist picking up a set for myself. I mean, the prints feature turrets AND woodgrain patterns!

Each printed is screened in white, fire red, and brown on Poptone Berrylicious French Paper, and the set is just $12. – via French Paper

I’m also really digging The Birds & The Bees prints, screened in the same ink colors on Poptone Berrylicious. Such clever visuals — I love the woodpecker record “needle” on the record player and the honeycomb speakers on the boombox.

Box Template

When an incredibly talented paper artist shows you how to make his “very favorite box of all time” and offers you the template to download, do you really have to think twice about it? Jeffery Rudell has done just this and has very detailed instructions, not to mention a free download, over at Craftstylish. Eep, and how awesome is that faux bois paper? You can purchase it in a variety of colors — including teal and lime green — from Hambly Screen Prints.
