Cards by ZeVin Creations

June 25, 2007 // kristen // 2 replies

Giving a handmade card is the perfect way to personalize a gift or special occasion. ZeVin Creations, a sister-owned greeting card company, has something for most every occasion and uses everything from scrapbooking supplies to wallpaper and fabric to create their cards.

I’m loving the “Hats Off to the Grad” card (pictured above), customized with the student’s information and school colors. Graduation party season is in full swing, and this gift within a card is a unique way to give the perfect grad gift…cash. Or, perhaps, the keys to a new car. Ah, grads have it good!

I’m digging these colorful, stylized botanical prints from Atlanta based graphic designer Lexie Sullivan’s recently launched paper goods line. The bright, rainbow colored prints would brighten any room.

Lexie also has sets of cards with her signature dynamic style. Check out the full line of paper goods at Lexie Sullivan’s Etsy shop.

Jennifer Causey Photography Prints

June 18, 2007 // kristen // 3 replies

Two of my biggest passions in life, besides paper, are food and photography, so I’m always excited when I find an artist who draws them all together in an interesting way. Jennifer Causey is such an artist (photographer, to be specific), and I can’t stop looking at the prints that she has available in her Etsy shop. The composition, tone, and colors are just beautiful.

Check out more of Jennifer’s wonderful photography here.

Pink Bathtub Father’s Day Card

I couldn’t help but post about this Father’s Day card from Pink Bathtub Designs. On the outside, it says “Happy Father’s Day.” Par for the course, right? But on the inside, it says, “to a fun guy!” Get it? Mushrooms = fungi = fun guy? Hee! $3.50 for each handprinted card at Pink Bathtub’s Etsy shop.

Pop Ink Gift Wrap

June 12, 2007 // kristen // 1 replies

I’m loving these gift wrap patterns from Pop Ink. Oh so retro! Thankfully, each pattern comes in a set of two sheets ($6.50 for each set at French Paper), so you can use one to wrap a gift and keep one for your collection.

I also love to see that Pop Ink uses the patterns on a variety of products, from plates to soap to napkins, showcasing their versatility. Featured patterns (clockwise, from top left): Op-Tickle, Flocked Again, Distinguished Panel, and Red Lotus.
