Paper Shop ink. Stationery Blog

Paper Culture is a great site for modern invitations and stationery. The company also does great things for the environment. Cards to Trees is a program set up by Paper Culture.

“For every order placed, we plant a tree in a US national forest. In effect, your cards plant trees. Each customer has an opportunity to dedicate a tree with every purchase (see sample dedications). We know that planting a million trees will not happen overnight. In fact, it will take years. But every tree really does make a difference (examples). We are focused, we are determined and we hope you will join us in our path to a million trees.”

It’s nice to see paper companies not only being environmentally friendly but also giving back to the environment.

I recently designed baby shower invites with a travel theme. Really happy with how they turned out. Hope the mom-to-be is too!

Love the look of this Etsy shop, Jack & Izzy. You can choose your own simple design and colors to create the special piece you’re looking for. It’s nice to have options when searching for the perfect invitation, announcement or stationery set.

Can’t believe my baby shower is in a few weeks. I had some free time recently so decided to design some thank you cards. It feels good to get things accomplished early. There’s so much to do in the next few months before the baby arrives.

The cards are 5.5″ x 4.25″ and blank on the inside. They’ll have matching blue envelopes.

I’d love to make this wreath for the fall from Paper Source. Not sure I have the time or patience right now. A while ago I bought a paper flower making kit from Paper Source. It took me a while but the flowers turned out nice. Has anyone purchased the paper wreath kit?

My mouth fell open when I landed on Jessica Wood’s etsy shop. Her designs are gorgeous.

Jessica is a designer and illustrator from Minneapolis. All the pieces for sale in her etsy shop are hand-drawn. The colors and style she illustrates is breathtaking. Guess I have to stop admiring her designs and get back to my own work!

I’m guessing some parents are probably happy to see their kids heading back to school soon. Summer always seems to go by so quickly though. To help make the adjustment back to school modernemotive is providing you with a free printable back to school shopping list. Very cute, and very useful!

Tiny Prints is now carrying Oh Joy notebooks. The very special part is you can personalize them. A great gift idea. Love this orange one!

Just received an email that the new collection of wallpaper from Amy Butler is now available at Graham & Brown. There’s so many to choose from and they’re all so beautiful. If I were currently redecorating I’m not sure how I would choose one.

What about you? Do you have an instant favorite?

It’s been so long. I’m so happy to have my blog back up and running. A few months ago blogger informed its users that you could no longer use the ftp service. I’m so lucky to have a husband who was able to convert my blog over to WordPress. It took some time but it’s now fully functional again. I hope to be making some updates and blogging on a regular basis starting NOW!

Please continue to submit your work via email. If you have submitted something over the past few months I will try to get to it soon.
