Karla Pruitt Stationery

Atlanta-based surface designer, Karla Pruitt, recently launched a new website to showcase her pattern work and licensed product designs, and she also opened a shop that features small runs of her own independent stationery creations, including very cool patterned cards and art prints. I’m totally digging Karla’s hand drawn patterns and choice of pretty color palettes!

Weekly Wrap #149 : Mint Dotty

June 21, 2013 // kristen // 1 replies

If you love the mint green color trend that’s hot, hot, hot right now, then I think you’re going to dig this Mint Dotty gift wrap by Sophia Victoria Joy. The playful paper features a smattering of quirky, minty dots screenprinted onto 100% recycled brown paper, and I love how the wrap is styled above with coordinating mint ribbon. Minty-licious!

Hand Lettered Love #1

June 19, 2013 // kristen // 2 replies

Pinterest has been fueling my obsession with hand-lettering since I first joined, and I have to admit that I had some major withdrawals during the move, when I had no reliable internet access for a few days. Thankfully, I’m able to ogle all of the hand-lettered awesomeness again, and with all of the beautiful lettering out there right now, I thought that I might start a new series on the site. Here’s Hand Lettered Love #1!

In honor of the upcoming Independence Day holiday here in the U.S., I thought I’d put together a little collection of red, white, and blue paper goods. This classic color combo works so well on a spectrum of goodies, from the silly (the Arrested Development pencils are cracking me up!) to the sophisticated, and I hope that you’ll find something that catches your eye in this roundup:
