Mr. Yen Hand Cut Paper Cut Designs

Mr. Yen (a.k.a. master paper cut artist, Jonathan Chapman) recently released his new range of paper cut designs for autumn/winter 2012, and I am completely enamored with the dark and delicate creations. The collection was inspired by vintage botanical illustrations, Victorian silhouettes, and woodland scenes and includes gorgeous, printed holiday cards that feature an original paper cut design (shown above) and beautiful, hand cut silhouette portraits, keepsakes, and botanical lace art pieces.

Weekly Wrap

Illustrated Gift Wrap

I am totally digging these fun and colorful Ecowrap designs from Ecojot. The whimsical, illustrated wrapping paper is available in a range of designs that offer something for pretty much every occasion – kitty cats, hooty owls, flouncy florals, and a little bit of everything in between.

The limited edition wrapping papers are made from 100% post consumer waste paper, so they’re pretty AND eco-friendly, too.

Available until December 5, 2012.
