Papernstitch Paper Goodies

Papernstitch is such a great place to find handmade paper goodies from independent artists and designers, and I thought I’d have a look around a share a few of my favorites from their curated selection of art prints, notebooks, invites, etc. Well, a few turned into a dozen because I kept finding new things that I wanted to share. So, without further ado, here are twelve of my favorites from the current selection. Have a look around the Papernstitch site, too, and you’ll easily find a dozen more, I’m sure!

New Advertiser : Sweet Harvey Letterpress

Sweet Harvey Letterpress

I’m so excited to welcome Sweet Harvey Letterpress as the newest advertiser on Paper Crave. I’ve been a fan of Sweet Harvey’s letterpress lovelies for some time, and I always look forward to what Brandi Powell, the owner and creative behind Sweet Harvey, will design next. Adorable baby shower invitations and birth announcements, wedding invites, art prints, business and calling cards, bookplates, greeting cards, moving announcements —you can find a little bit of everything, all of it lovely, at the Sweet Harvey shop.

Amy Smyth Made It

Amy Smyth Made It Birthday

I was recently introduced to Amy Smyth Made It, a wonderfully funky stationery line by illustrator turned paper pusher Amy Smyth. As I pored over the site, I found it very difficult to choose just a few favorites to feature, so be prepared for the images to come (I’m sure you don’t mind, right?).

I really dig the illustration style, which has such a spirited attitude, and the colors that Amy Smyth uses – lots of subdued, sophisticated naturals used in a bold way.

Amy Smyth Made It offers a little bit of everything, from baby and bridal invitations to gift tags, moving announcements, holiday, and notecards. I’d advise you to do as Amy Smyth suggests and “write a freakin’ note,” if only so you’ll have an excuse to buy her paper goods.
