Cheeky Faces Letterpress Cards

September 07, 2010 // kristen // 0 replies

I’m loving these oh so kawaii Cheeky Faces letterpress cards! The collection is the result of a collaboration between Joie Studio and Shop Toast, and the cards are so cute that they’re certain to cheer up anyone who receives one. I love the blind debossed, quilted texture on the cards, too, which is a great, unexpected detail. Cheeky Cheery Faces include Rosy Cheeks, Yum Yum, Squeals, and Bright Eyes. The Cheeky Cheeries can be purchased individually or together as a set, and Sad Sorry is also available for times when you need to, well, say you’re sorry.

State Bird & Flower Papercuts by Cindy Ferguson

September 06, 2010 // kristen // 1 replies

I look on in absolute amazement at Cindy Ferguson’s state bird and flower papercuts, which she recently completed for a show at Blonde Grizzly in Salt Lake City. When I think about the fact that she hand cut these intricate silhouettes for all 50 state birds and state flowers, with an additional papercut of the entire United States, surrounded by a beautiful array of flowers and birds, I can feel my jaw wanting to drop to the floor.

You can see all 50 papercuts over at her blog, Scherenschnitte, and view pricing and contact information for Blonde Grizzly if you’re interested in purchasing one or more of the papercuts. Here are just a few of the papercuts from the collection:

The collaboration between Hello! Lucky and Lab Partners has produced some fantastic destination wedding invitations ( and some pretty cool greeting cards, too). Wedding locales lucky enough to be included in the collection are New York, San Francisco, London, Hawaii, and four recently added destinations: Chicago, Paris, Las Vegas, and Los Angeles. The new designs have the same awesome retro modern flavor as the previous designs in the collection, and each suite features really cool illustrations representing the suite’s corresponding city … in Lab Partners’ trademark style, of course!

Above, clockwise from top left: Chicago Destination Wedding Invitations, Paris Destination Wedding Invitations, Las Vegas Destination Wedding Invitations, and Los Angeles Destination Wedding Invitations. Each suite is available digitally printed or letterpress printed.
