D. Sharp DIY Owl Paper Packaging

I’m all about the owls, and I love pretty much every single packaging / gift wrap project that Denise Sharp creates. Needless to say, when you combine the two it puts me in gift wrap idea heaven. If you have a paper bag and a few other paper craft bits and bobs, then you can create this adorable owl gift bag, too! Just head on over to the d.sharp blog for the how to. Oh, this little guy is giving me so many ideas, especially for Halloween.

New Letterpress Wedding Invitations by Pistachio Press

// // 3 replies

Pistachio Press just launched three new letterpress wedding invitation designs, and they’re all absolutely gorgeous! I can’t decide which I like the best, but I think I have a big crush on the Mexican Tile design. I absolutely love the design elements, and the shade of ink that’s used in this example is fab-u-lous!

And I’m really liking the stylized feathers in this design. If you chose an autumnal color for this suite — all of the invitations have customizable color and font options — you’ll have a beautiful feather/leaf look for a fall wedding or occasion.

Pistachio Press uses rubber-based inks and biodegradable citrus-based solvents for press clean-up, and they print on 100% tree-free cotton papers or recycled papers that contain at least 30% post-consumer waste. They also re-use or recycle office and shipping supplies.
