New Cotton Ribbons from Angela Liguori + Pikku

December 15, 2010 // kristen // 1 replies

I just love it when talented creatives collaborate, and the result of the recent collaboration between Angela Liguori and Pikku has me incredibly excited. The new collaborative collection of patterned, screen printed cotton ribbons is oh so gorgeous and features a trio of colors (Natural, Dark Gray, and Red), with three different pattern designs (Dots, Mums, and Stripes). Each set of ribbons includes 2 yards of each of the three designs in your choice of color.

Gift Ideas from Knock Knock

December 14, 2010 // kristen // 2 replies

Knock Knock has some of the most clever paper goodies around, and pretty much every snarky notebook and sticky note in their lineup makes me giggle, at the very least. But their line wouldn’t be nearly as much fun if it didn’t also look super slick, so they’ve got both hilarity and great design going on. How often does this happen? Not often enough!

If you’re looking for some last minute holiday gifts and stocking stuffers, Knock Knock has a lot to choose from, and you can still get your goodies in time for Christmas if you order by Dec. 15 (East Coast) and Dec. 17 (West Coast). Here are just a few Knock Knock items that I wouldn’t mind finding under my tree this year:

Above, clockwise from top left: What to Eat Pad, Holiday Citation Nifty Note, Pep Talk Nifty Note, Holiday Remarks & Replies for All Occasions, Old School Stickies Set, WTF Stamp (love the checkboxes with punctuation!), Personal Library Kit

Designing holiday gift tags has become a tradition that I look forward to every year, and I had much fun designing this year’s set of patterned tags. You can download all of these tags over at Domestifluff (my food and craft blog), and if you’d like more free printable gift tags, please check out the festive freebies roundups (part 1 and part 2) from last year, as well as my printable wintry gift tags from 2009 and the bright, patterned gift tags from 2008.
