The Winner of the Paper Mojo Giveaway

Paper Mojo Giveaway Winner

Congratulations to Adina, who has the winning entry for the Paper Mojo holiday gift wrap giveaway! Here’s what Adina had to say about her favorite colors for holiday gift wrapping:

I love using untraditional bright colors like blue, orange and yellow together or mustard, fuchsia and grey! One of my favorite color combinations is copper with a metallic baby blue.

I’ll be contacting you shortly, Adina, to let you know how you can claim your prize, and I want to give a big thank you to everyone else who participated in this giveaway. I really enjoyed reading all of your color ideas. So inspiring!

New Advertiser : Paper Mojo

Paper Mojo Holiday Gift Wrap

I’m so excited to welcome Paper Crave’s newest advertiser, Paper Mojo! Paper Mojo has been one of my favorite gift wrap haunts for quite a while; I could stare for hours at the selection of papers that they carry, and around this time of the year I start to get just a little bit crazy (okay, a lot crazy … you probably don’t want to know how crazy) about finding the perfect gift wrap for my holiday gifts, so I instantly gravitated to their holiday gift wrap when I was putting this post together. I spotted quite a few favorites, but the few shown are just a drop in the bucket compared to everything that they carry.

Shown above, clockwise from top left: Snow & Graham Gum Drops, Smock Fete, Wooster & Prince Rings (Ruby), Snow & Graham Mittens, Caspari Capri, and Elum Joyful Birds.

Lucia Soaps Packaging

Lucia Soaps

Lucia soaps were all over the design blogs last week, but I had to give them a mention here because I love the combination of the ultra modern labeling with the gorgeous patterned papers. One astute commenter over at design*sponge noted that the papers used in the packaging could be found at Paper Mojo and, indeed, many of the beautiful papers are from Wooster & Prince and Snow & Graham. What a smart idea for packaging! – spotted on design*sponge and The Dieline
