Topo Cards

These cards made by Marnie at Crafterall are so beautiful! They are made from five layers of  graduated colored cardstock. Each one looks like a piece of art. They can be mailed safely just like any other greeting card with a standard stamp.

Cupcake Wrappers

Next time you serve cupcakes at a party, dress them up with some creative wrappers. These would be simple to design on your own but if you don't have the software to design something you can purchase these from etsy. This is a nice way to personalize a party. 

The above designs are available at Paper & Cake. Once you make a purchase you'll receive a pdf of the wrappers to print from your home computer. You can print as many as you want for one price.

Visit Paper & Cake for further instructions on how to assemble.

Siska Studio

When I see stationery like this I just want to buy it and hang it on my wall. Stationery studios should also sell prints of their work. Don't you agree?

These beautiful cards are from Siska Studio. The artwork is a digital render which is printed on linen stock. Each card comes with a kraft envelope and packaged in an acrylic case.

Re-Writable Gift Tags

These re-writable gift tags from Jayda would come in handy so many times. The tags are printed on 30% recycled paper with soy based inks. Since the tags have a special coating on them it allows you to write, erase and re-use. Any type of erasable marker will work with the gift tag and then you can simply wipe off  the text with a tissue.

Jayda also carries a line of Re-Usable gift bags made form 100% cotton. 

Visit JaydaOnline.com to purchase.

Escargot Studio

Shikha sent me a very nice email introducing me to her modern eco-friendly line of paper goods. The shop is called Escargot Studio. I immediately loved what I saw so decided to post some photos right away.

The shop displays a collection of both fresh and functional paper products. One of the most important aspects of Escargot Studio is the dedication to being green. Every item is produced using eco-friendly materials and processes.

Visit the website and the etsy shop for additional information.

Thanks for the email Shikha! The stationery from Escargot Studio is beautiful. 

itoa

Some bold, colorful stationery to brighten up your morning. These images are from iota, a company based in Colorado. I'm not sure how long they've been in business but they are new to me.

Every year iota creates nine fresh patterns based on nine different colors. That's pretty impressive! It's good to have goals, right? Clients and customers can always expect to see something fun and new each year.

The current product line consists of journals, notebooks, eco-friendly bags, kitchen items, tableware, gift tags, note cards and stationery.

I'm thinking I should decorate my office with some of these products to liven up my space.
