Seed Money by Leafcutter Designs

Seed Money

Seed Money, the latest Kickstarter project from Leafcutter Designs, creators of the World’s Smallest Post Office, is one of the most clever concepts that I’ve seen in a while. I’m far from alone in this thought because the project has already far exceeded its initial pledge goal, which means that these clever little letterpress coins will definitely be minted – woo hoo!

Custom Illustrated Coinage

The initial run of custom illustrated coinage will include pennies, nickels, dimes, and quarters, letterpress printed by Porridge Papers onto thick, custom papers embedded with seeds. And the clever little coins will come wrapped in unique coin wrappers featuring hand-lettering by the talented duo at Slide Sideways. There are so many things that you can do with the “coins”: give them as unique party favors; leave a few along with your tip at a restaurant; or pass them out at your local farmer’s market just for fun!

Letterpress Coins

Check out the project video below, and head on over to Kickstarter to find out more about this playful project and to see which freshly struck coinage you’ll receive when you make a donation.

Weekly Wrap #126 : Bubblelicious

Weekly Wrap

Double Sided Gift Wrap

There is some serious swooning going on over here thanks to Bespoke Press and  their lovely new double-sided gift wrap designs. Omigosh, the bubble design, so colorful and fun and just perfect for a birthday gift !

I’m a big fan of double-sided gift wrap because of its versatility. You can get a completely different look depending on which pattern you decide to use on the outside. Plus, there will be a nice, patterned surprise when the recipient opens the gift. Yay!

Oh, how I love pretty calligraphy. Couple said pretty calligraphy with a rainbow of colors and, well, it makes for one juicy paper craving. You can find the spectrum of “hello” stickers above, along with a dizzying array of beautifully calligraphed (and sometimes silly) greeting cards and postcards, journals, and some really fun rubber stamps, at Sparrow Nest Script. A taste of their lovely paper goodies can be found below, and you can check out all of the pretty paper and paper accessories over in their shop.
