Paper Relics Silhouette Greetings and Custom Cake Toppers

January 14, 2009 // kristen // 0 replies

Silhouettes are one of the hot trends right now, and I’m really digging these smile-inducing silhouette greeting cards from Paper Relics. The “Here Comes the Bride” card is so clever and fun! They also create fantastic custom cake toppers (bottom left shown above) from vintage images and carry many other whimsical greeting cards and vintage inspired ephemera.

Basic Grey Bittersweet Paper Collection

January 14, 2009 // kristen // 1 replies

I’m enjoying Bittersweet, one of the new paper collections from Basic Grey. The patterns feature Basic Grey’s trademark grunge and subdued shades of pink and brown. Use the papers, with such luscious names as Truffle, Ganache, and Almond Toffee, to make valentines that are a bit “rough around the edges” or for edgy scrapbooking pages. The line is available at Two Peas.

Papers (clockwise, from top left): Truffle, Meltaway, Hand Dipped, Ganache, Praline, Almond Toffee, Mousse, and Crushed Berry.

Spotted over at Bloesem — wonderful, bold patterned notebooks and journals from Kris’s Color Stripes. I’m really digging the palettes, as well as the patterns. And, if you’re a color palette addict like me, then you need to (virtually) run over to Kris’s blog. How in the world did I not know about it before now?!
