Tuileries by Helen Dardik

May 24, 2011 // kristen // 1 replies

Ooh, the new Tuileries note card collection by Helen Dardik is fantastic! Her unique, color-drenched patterns look so great in card form, don’t they? Package a bunch of different designs (or many of the same design) together and give the gift of stationery to a paper-loving friend or family member, or frame them as lovely little wall prints. The collection is available from Lagom (UK).

Illustrated Letters by Jared Andrew Schorr

May 23, 2011 // kristen // 2 replies

I’m such a big fan of Jared Andrew Schorr’s papercut work, and these space-themed, illustrated letters that he created for the Illustrated Type show at Gallery Nucleus have absolutely made my day. Not only are they incredible pieces, but they bring together two of my favorite things: paper cutting and typography. Oh, how I love that adorable astronaut … and the pink, teal, navy, and yellow color palette, too!

Q is for Quiet, R is for Rocket, S is for Space Race, and T is for Taken

Be sure to check out more of Jared’s fantastic papercut pieces over on his blog.

1973 always has such cool paper goods, and these awesome illustrated greeting cards by Paper and Cloth are calling my name. So sweet and retrotastic.

1973 also carries a range of equally awesome postcards from Paper and Cloth. These would be great framed as wall art, too!
