Rifle Paper Father’s Day Cards + New Art Prints

June 03, 2010 // kristen // 0 replies

Lots of awesome Father’s Day cards and gift ideas over at Rifle Paper Co., and I’m absolutely loving their new hat card set and Hat Collection and Animal Alphabet art prints. These would make great, unique Father’s Day gifts, and even though I’ve never been much of a “hat person”, I’d love to hang both the hat and animal prints on my walls.

Mike Dornseif Screen Printed Wedding Invitations

June 03, 2010 // kristen // 0 replies

Be still my beating heart. These screen printed wedding invitations, created by the groom, illustrator Mike Dornseif, are absolutely fantastic. And I see that I’m not the only one who thinks so. Every little detail — the birdie bride and groom, the scrollwork on the birdhouse roof, the butterflies, and the squirrel in the tree — is just perfect. Love the purple, too! – via French Paper

Sweet Harvey Letterpress Baby Invites + Announcements

June 02, 2010 // kristen // 1 replies

Aren’t these giraffe letterpress baby shower invitations and baby announcements from Sweet Harvey absolutely darling? I just love that cutie patootie giraffe.

On a somewhat related note, this will be my last “live” post here for about a week, as I’ll be heading off to Pittsburgh for my little sister’s baby shower and to visit with friends and family back home. I’m so excited that I’m going to be an aunt again! While I’m gone, I have plenty of paper to share, including a number of baby-centric goodies, and stay tuned for some incredible guest posts, too!

See you back here late next week!

P.S. I’m going to be pretty much internet-less during my trip, so no email access — yikes! New commenter approvals won’t resume until I return, so please be patient if you make your first comment in the coming week, and it’s not approved for a while. Thanks for understanding!

Fresh Heifers Letterpress Vintage Dairy Prints

June 02, 2010 // kristen // 1 replies

The Fresh Heifers booth immediately caught my attention during my National Stationery Show visit, and though I wasn’t able to take photos of the booth while at the show, I’m so jazzed to be able to share their incredibly unique letterpress vintage dairy prints with you here. If you grew up on a farm, or if you wish you grew up on a farm, you’ll want to have a look at these lovelies, which can even be customized with your farm’s heritage. A great Father’s Day gift idea for difficult to buy for, dairy-loving dads!

National Stationery Show 2010 : Navy Obsession

June 01, 2010 // kristen // 0 replies

I’m just about at the end of my National Stationery Show journey, but before I close things out I have to share some favorites in one of my new favorite colors: navy blue. If I was in your booth and spotted something navy, then I undoubtedly shared my new, somewhat unhealthy color obsession with you, and if you had something navy blue and pink, then I probably squeed out loud.

Another of my favorite wedding invitations from the show — I can’t stop looking at this navy letterpress beauty by Flywheel Press, a member of the Ladies of Letterpress.

New York City style is showcased in these gorgeous wedding invites by Atelier Isabey. The thank you card features the couple with their dog, and the suite can be customized to your needs, as well.

My photos don’t do these letterpress invites by Gilah Press justice, but in person the soft, subtle pink against the bold navy was absolutely gorgeous.

All of the letterpress lovelies at the Gwyneth Paige booth were framed in these great antiqued frames. I really enjoyed the romantic, peony adorned Deanna suite. Love the navy envelope liner!
