Yee Haw Spring Trees Letterpress

Yee Haw Industries Spring Trees Letterpress

Eep! The hiatus from posting ran much longer than I anticipated, but I’m back now and hope to be posting again regularly. I don’t know about you, but I’m ready for some spring weather, and this set of letterpress mini prints/greeting cards from Yee Haw Industries makes my hope for sunshine and warm temperatures stronger. They’re also available in blue, for those of you who are interested in a more “chill” look. $20.00 for a set of 8.

Closing Up Shop

Apologies for the lack of posting this week. I’m in the process of closing Beccalights, my online candle shop, and am working hard to keep on top of the orders that I’ve received since announcing that I’m closing up shop. As a result, posting on Paper Crave will be sporadic over the next couple of weeks, but I’ll be back to posting regularly soon!

Eco Friendly Paper : Treeo Design

Eco Friendly Paper
Treeo Design Pompom Chicken Gift Boxes

Treeo Design is an environmentally friendly, upstate New York based shop that specializes in fun, modern gift wrap and gift boxes (it looks like they also have wallpaper and fabric designs on the way).

All of the paper that Treeo uses in their products is FSC Certified, which means that no trees were unnecessarily harmed during the printing of their products. They also use vegetable based inks to print their designs.

I’m quite partial to Treeo’s “Pompom Chicken” design, available on both gift boxes and gift wrap, which I find absolutely irresistable!

Eco Friendly Paper : Porridge Papers Plantable Herb Cards

Eco Friendly Paper
Eco Friendly Porridge Papers Plantable Herb Seed Cards

I’ve talked about the trend in plantable cards previously, and I love the idea of a card that keeps on giving and is friendly for the environment. Since I also love to cook with fresh herbs, I was naturally drawn to these plantable pretties from Porridge Papers. The set of five letterpress cards is printed on Porridge Papers’ handmade, herb embedded papers, which grow into basil, chive, parsley, dill, and thyme when planted. This is such a wonderful concept, and the cards would make the perfect gift for anyone who loves to garden or cook. $15.00 for the set.

If you’re interested in handmade papers, Porridge has some fantastic lines, including the Super Tasty Collection, the Super Fresh Collection, and the Super Dazzle Collection.

Pistachio Press Invitations and Stationery

Pistachio Press Wedding Invitation

I first discovered Rochester based Pistachio Press through their collaboration with INK + WIT on an awesome 2008 letterpress calendar. There’s plenty of eye candy to be found in their line, which includes letterpress stationery and wedding invitations (drool…see above). In addition, Pistachio Press offers custom design and printing.

Check out their portfolio, or shop online at Pistachio’s Etsy shop.
