Whimsy Whimsical Holiday

November 19, 2013 // kristen // 1 replies

I find all things Whimsy Whimsical to be pretty irresistible. I mean, how could I not be completely enamored with the absolutely adorable woodland critters that inhabit the landscape of their paper goodies? And their new holiday collection makes my heart swell. Scarved owls, foxes, and bunnies singing Christmas carols? A hot air ballooning fox and bear? Reindeer sipping hot cocoa? So cute!

Have a peek at the new greeting cards, gift tags, and stickers in the Whimsy Whimsical holiday collection below, and head over to their shop to see much more.
