2008 MOMA Holiday Cards

August 28, 2008 // kristen // 3 replies

Is it really ever too early to start talking about holiday cards? Plus, I figure that I’m already checking out 2009 calendars, so why not feature some Christmas cards while I’m at it? Just try not to think about all of the chaos and hubbub that goes along with the holiday season, focus on the pretty cards, and you’ll be fine.

The MoMA store always has fun and unique holiday cards, and this year they have many cute illustrated cards, as well as wonderful pop-up cards by Robert Sabuda (check out how to make your own pop-up card on his site).

I just spotted these beautiful, limited edition file folders from Nantaka Joy over on Joy’s blog. The set of 8 (4 each of the wonderful copper and silver patterns) is available exclusively at Anthropologie stores (physical locations, not online). It’s so exciting to see the Nantaka Joy collection grown, and I can’t wait to see what’s next!

Snow & Graham recently launched a lovely new website design to showcase their equally lovely work. No surprise that I found several new paper cravings as I was perusing the new site. Hey, it looks like they’ll have three different calendars for 2009! Some of the Snow & Graham pretties:
