The Coasters

Cranky Pressman Die Cut Letterpress Coasters

Now, here’s something that will make you smile on a Monday morning. These oh so clever promotional letterpress coasters were created by the Parliament of Owls for the Cranky Pressman Printery & Bindery to launch their new letterpress imprintable die-cut coaster line, The Coasters.

The series features four seaside dwelling elderly folk called “The Coasters”, with names like Mr. Snogglebaum and Cranky, who have a penchant for booze and old timey hobbies. Each coaster features a different oldster, and the reverse includes information about said oldster’s favorite hobbies, likes/dislikes, and favorite drink. Love it!

Find out more about this fantastic series of coasters and learn more about the Cranky Pressman’s new line of custom die-cut coasters.

Halloween Crafts Preview : 13 Days Calendar

13 Days of Halloween Craft Preview

From the Shop Friday and the Weekly Wrap will return next week, but today I’m very excited to give you a sneak peek at a craft that I’ve been working on for Halloween this year. I’ve been wanting to do a 13 Days of Halloween calendar — kind of like an Advent calender that counts down the days until Halloween — for a couple of years, and this year I was finally able to make one!

Next week on Domestifluff, my food and craft blog, I’m going to be sharing tutorials for all of the 13 crafts that make up this calendar, many of which can be repurposed as place cards, favors, or even as Christmas crafts. I’ll have additional photos of the project up on Domestifluff later today, and throughout next week I’ll be sharing the tutorials. Update: You can find a listing of all of the crafts associated with this project, as well as tips and a supply list, right here.

Next week is also going to be a Halloween crafty week here at Paper Crave. I’ll be sharing a few fun and spooky paper craft ideas and maybe some printables, too, so tune in here next week to get your Halloween paper crafts fix.

Have a great weekend, everyone, and see you back here on Monday!
