This cardboard holiday village is pretty impressive. Each one is handmade using an old cardboard tube as the base. Inside each house is a little flickering LED tealight. I would never have the patience to make all of these, but they are so cute.

I’d much rather display this type of holiday village than the store bought version. Read more here or buy yourself a few on etsy.

Holiday cards from the etsy shop of Second Party. It’s definitely time to start thinking about Holiday cards. I’m sure I’ll end up making my cards but I like these for their simplicity. I enjoy solid blocks of color.

These images are from the etsy shop of Sweetbeets. Love when I find new letterpress shops that I’ve never heard of before. These cards are very eco-friendly. They are printed on 100% post-consumer recycled paper with rubber-based inks. Sweetbeets has a lot of items geared towards children. Very cute.

I just created a Facebook page for Paper Shop. If you are on Facebook please join us on our page. Feel free to upload your own stationery items to the photos section. The page just went live today but I promise to update it soon. Thanks!

I’ve posted about Smock in the past but that’s ok, they deserve another post. I was familiar with their collection of letterpress cards but didn’t realize they also had gift wrap. The gift wrap is double sided so you’re getting two great gift wrap prints with one purchase. The photography on their website is always amazing which makes me love them even more.

I had some fun designing a wedding invitation for a friend recently . Nothing very fancy but thought they turned out nice. Her colors were pink and purple (obviously).

There are a lot of wedding’s coming up in my future. It always seems to go in spurts. One year we will attend 5 weddings and then the next year none and so on. Does that happen to anyone else?

Paper n Stitch is a recently launched online shop created by Brittni Wood and her fiance. The shop rotates products from different designers and artists on a monthly basis. The site is very nicely designed and easy to navigate through. Paper n Stitch has a nice collection of paper exhibitors such as Paige Russell, Matte Stephens (one of my favorites), Alli Coate and many more.

Congrats on your new site Brittni, it’s great!

Take Note Designs is one of the designers featured on Posh Papers. Right now if you purchase anything from the Take Note Designs collection they will donate 25% of their profits to a cancer non-profit. Such a great cause. If you are looking for some custom cards make sure to consider Posh Papers.

Just got an email announcing the sale of this beautiful calendar from Ink + Wit. The calendar was printed by Pistachio Press. Only 300 are being printed so if you think you want one it’s probably best to order it now. I’m guessing they will sell quickly.
