Green Chair Press Type Collage Letterpress Coasters

I’m a typography nut and a letterpress nut, so I was overcome with excitement when I saw these teal Type Collage letterpress coasters from Green Chair Press. I love the bold touches of color amongst the teal typography and think that these coasters would be the center of attention at any drinks-included gathering. Well, they would be if I were one of your guests. Plus, the ink is waterproof, so no worries about running. $12.00 for a set of 5.

I hereby declare today to be Lovely Yellow Letterpress Day! These beauties are from the wonderful Pressure Letterpress. I really dig the floral motif and, if your mom likes floral patterns, she may dig receiving this set of letterpress cards as a Mother’s Day gift. Hint, hint.

Sunshiny Letterpress from Bellis Studios

I’m loving Bellis Studios’ “Sunshiny” letterpress collection, filled with lovely designs in yellow, one of the most sought after colors of the year.

The “Sunshiny” collection offers a little bit of everything, including (clockwise, from top left): letterpress note cards, gift tags, bookmarks, and Mother’s Day cards, making it easy for you to add a little bit of yellow to your world.

Martha Stewart Crafts

5.3.2007 2 Comments

I’ve been stalking the new Martha Stewart Crafts site for a little while now, waiting for it to open for business, so imagine my delight when I saw decor8′s post about the site’s grand opening.

Martha is the mistress of sophisticated craftiness, and I’m so excited to see that the paper items and craft projects on the site retain the understated elegance that for which Martha Stewart is known. Like there was any doubt!

You can purchase the Martha Stewart Crafts line online or at your local Michael’s craft store. The craft projects, gift wrap, and tissue paper pom poms are tops on my list, though I’m sure I’d take one of everything if I could.

Pictured above:

1. Craft Punch Glossary Paper Craft Project (love the colors!)
2. Tissue Paper Flower Favor Box Kit
3. Kraft Goodie Box Combo Kit
4. Martha’s Favorite Bow Craft Project
5. Paper Bag Puppet Kit
6. Kids’ Thank You Card Kit
7. Round Floral Gift Tags
8. Tissue Paper Pom-Poms Kit

Lotta Jansdotter Check Book Covers

5.2.2007 1 Comment

These 100% linen checkbook covers by Lotta Jansdotter are stylin’. So soft, so pretty, such an improvement over the vinyl / plastic / pleather-y checkbook covers with the solar calculators that stopped working a decade ago … but I wouldn’t know anything about those. No, not a thing. $18 each at Peek Keep.

Actually, when I saw these check book covers, I realized that it would be completely awesome if designers like Lotta Jansdotter, Jonathan Adler, Tord Boontje, and many of the fantastic stationery designers and illustrators working today would create series of customizeable checks. I’d love to have those types of choices when I’m picking out new checks!
