Amy Smyth Made It

4.27.2007 Add Your Comment

I was recently introduced to Amy Smyth Made It, a wonderfully funky stationery line by illustrator turned paper pusher Amy Smyth. As I pored over the site, I found it very difficult to choose just a few favorites to feature, so be prepared for the images to come (I’m sure you don’t mind, right?).

Moving Announcement

Bridal Shower Invitation

I really dig the illustration style, which has such a spirited attitude, and the colors that Amy Smyth uses – lots of subdued, sophisticated naturals used in a bold way.

Peach Notecards

Lemon Notecards

Amy Smyth Made It offers a little bit of everything, from baby and bridal invitations to gift tags, moving announcements, holiday, and notecards. I’d advise you to do as Amy Smyth suggests and “write a freakin’ note,” if only so you’ll have an excuse to buy her paper goods.

Baby Flash Cards by Wee Gallery

4.26.2007 2 Comments

These Baby Flash Cards by Wee Gallery are absolutely adorable. I love the fun, playful illustration style set in black and white. Even if you don’t have a little one around, you could frame the wee works of art to create your own wonderful wall art. You could also turn the flash cards into a cool urban mobile with a nifty stainless steel mobile kit. Ingenious!

Wee Gallery’s Baby Flash Cards are available in three sets: original, sea, and farm (pictured above). $14.95 per set at Sparkability.

ETA: Ooh, it looks like Wee Gallery actually has two additional new sets of flash cards, garden and jungle, available from their site. I must collect them all.

Bella Muse Mother’s Day Cards

Nothing says “I love you” like a cheeky Mother’s Day card. I love what Bella Muse has to offer for the day when we all let our mommies know how much they mean to us. Just be sure that your mom has a good sense of humor if you’re going to give her a Mother’s Day card with a cleaver on it or, well, the police may have to get involved. $3.50 each at Bella Muse.

Ayumi Piland Greeting Cards at APAKSTUDIO

4.24.2007 Add Your Comment

How would I describe Ayumi Piland’s illustration style? Well, it’s like a big ball of whimsical kawaii combined with a healthy dose of retro style and kick butt color schemes. However you describe it, you can’t deny that the illustrations put a smile on your face, and who can resist a card that makes you smile?

Ayumi’s greeting cards and limited edition prints are available through the APAKSTUDIO Etsy shop. Each greeting card is screenprinted by hand using a Gocco. Pictured, clockwise from top left: Bunny Berry, For You, and Bunny Family cards. $4.00 each.
