Elizabeth Olwen Gift Wrap Designs for Impression Originale

July 31, 2017 // kristen // 0 replies

Based in France, Impression Originale has an absolutely gorgeous line of gift wrap designs by artists from around the world. It’s very hard to pick favorites because there are just so many wonderful wrapping papers in their shop, but I’m particularly smitten with these lovely designs by Elizabeth Olwen.

Each high quality sheet of wrapping paper from Impression Originale features the signature of the artist who designed it, and the wrap is printed on 100% recycled paper, so it’s beautiful AND eco-friendly, too! They ship internationally, so gift wrap lovers around the world can create stunning gift packages with the wraps from their shop. And each of their commissioned artists will receive a percentage of the profits when you purchase their gift wrap designs, so you’ll be helping independent artists when you shop at Impression Originale, as well.

I am completely taken with Crafty Moments, the newest collection from Lithuania-based Kata Kiosk. The collection, which was inspired by the unique mix of crafty tradition and modern vibes found in Lithuania, features illustrated art prints and greeting cards in Kata Kiosk’s wonderful, trademark style. I love Kata’s amazing ability to inject pattern into her work, and you can find it everywhere in this collection, from beautiful, lacy cables in a wintry trolley scene to lovely, floral floor coverings in a shoe selfie.
