Breathless Paper Co.

I’m really jazzed to see that Linvites now carries all of Breathless Paper Co.’s super clever (and sometimes snarky) greetings in their online shop. There are so many great designs going on in the Breathless line, and here are just a few (okay, half a dozen) of my favorites. Check out all of the available designs over at Linvites, or see if your local stationery shop carries this smile-inducing line of greeting cards.

It’s part three of my 2012 calendar roundup already, but there are so many great designs this year that I’m only just getting started. And, psst, if you’re looking for more calendar ideas, be sure to check out parts one and two.

Fine Day Press’ wonderfully colorful wall calendar is comprised of twelve 11×17 prints of original, abstract watercolor illustrations, and the date portion of each month can be cut to create a frameable art print.

Mincing Mockingbird’s stunning 2012 calendar features twelve reproductions of beautiful bird paintings, and if the world does indeed end in 2012 (as in, total apocalypse kind of stuff), they’ll offer full refunds on calendar purchases. *wink*

Boygirlparty’s 224 page pocket planner includes everything you’ll need to keep yourself organized in 2012 – perforated note pages, to do lists, an address section, and more – and lots of super cute illustrations are in there, too!

Simplesong’s 2012 limited edition letterpress calendar features a trio of lovely colors (and months) on each page.

1canoe2’s 2012 letterpress calendar sits comfortably on your desk in its own little wood stump, which I think is a pretty darn cool thing. And the calendar itself features twelve original illustrations (they’re pretty darn cool, too) letterpress printed onto six pages – one month on the front, and one on the back.

It’s a calendar, it’s gift wrap, it’s both! Victory Paper Designs’ 16 month Wrapping Paper Calendar features an array of chic patterns that can be used to wrap small gifts after each month is finished.

Laura Macchia’s lovely 2012 wall calendar features twelve new botanical illustrations and is printed on 100% post consumer recycled paper. The calendar’s grid format allows plenty of room for writing down occasions, appointments, and notes, too!
