Happy Easter Cards, Part 1

March 27, 2012 // kristen // 0 replies

I would’ve guessed that the next holiday was the 4th of July if you asked me last week (talk about unseasonably warm weather!) but, actually, it’s that time of the year when chocolate bunnies, jelly beans, and egg-shaped candy rule. The Easter Bunny will be hopping down the bunny trail soon, and I have a roundup of bright and sweet Easter cards that you can tuck into baskets, hide with all of those colorful eggs, or send to family and friends.

It’s always great to happen upon decorations that can be repurposed for multiple occasions, and these kits from Polli will bring a little star power to everything from a Christmas mantel to a backyard barbecue, summertime birthday party, or 4th of July shindig.

Each Star Deco Kit contains 35 star decorations (red or blue) and red twine to string the stars as a garland or a hanging decoration. The reversible patterned stars can also be used as gift or favor tags.

I am completely enamored with these sweet and lovely letterpress cards by Floret Letterpress. The designs are the perfect blend of subdued color, hand drawn lettering and illustration, and understated charm. The collection features designs that range from celestial-themed greetings to botanical patterned blank cards, all of which are so very pretty.

Verb Notebooks

March 26, 2012 // kristen // 1 replies

I’m all about these little Verb Notebooks by Painted Fish Studio. Each 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ notebook features a hand-punched verb on its chipboard cover and, inside, you can make lists, create doodles, and take note of ideas about topics that correspond with the each cover verb. Available verbs include “to-do”, “create”, “draw”, “eat”, “think”, “make”, “travel”, and “write”.

In addition, each notebook has 60 interior pages and a colorful first page that peeks through the hand-punched letters on the cover. Pick up a more general verb to catalog all of your notes, or collect a bunch of different verbs to organize your thoughts and ideas into different categories for easy reference.

Weekly Wrap #112 : Think Spring

March 23, 2012 // kristen // 0 replies

My mind has been filled with spring and summer thoughts thanks to the unseasonably warm weather we’ve had here this week, and these floral wrapping paper designs from Snow & Graham are just the thing for spring and summer birthday, shower, or wedding gifts. And, if you’re the type who likes something a bit “darker”, be sure to check out their Midnight Cherry Blossom wrap while you’re browsing around. Ooh, so pretty.
