Amy Smyth Made It 2009 Collection

Amy Smyth Greeting Cards

Amy Smyth has a new collection for 2009, and it’s filled with greeting cards for every occasion, created with Amy’s trademark illustration style and humor. The collection covers everything from birthdays and weddings to bat and bar mitzvahs and holidays from Easter to Valentine’s Day and St. Patrick’s Day, and the cards are printed on recycled paper. Here are just a few of my favorites:

New Sponsor : Parklife Press

Parklife Press Letterpress

Please welcome Paper Crave’s newest sponsor, Parklife Press. Parklife Press is a letterpress studio based in North Carolina. Their specialties include custom letterpress wedding invitations, announcements, and business cards and stationery. Founded by Travis Friedrich, the studio’s style is fresh, modern, and sophisticated.

Parklife Press Quill Invitation

I just have to give a special mention to Quill, Parklife’s newest wedding invitation design. Quill focuses on the beauty of hand lettering, featuring gorgeous calligraphy by Monica Mirones. I love that this suite is completely about the lettering, which serves as both a means of communicating the information and as a work of art in its own right.

Invited Ink Custom Letterpress

Invited Ink Letterpress

Invited Ink specializes in custom letterpress invitations, wedding suites, and business cards, and their portfolio is pure eye candy! I love the use of the pig, fish, and carrot images on the entree choice card above. The attention paid to those small details takes their work to the next level.

Lots of eye candy below, and you can see even more of their custom work on the Invited Ink blog.
