Paper Creatures

Aren't these adorable? You can purchase the template for these little guys on etsy. With your purchase you receive a pdf file to print and full instructions are included. It's getting pretty cold here in Ohio. This might be a good project for a night in when the snow starts falling.

Halloween Stationery

Halloween is probably my least favorite holiday. I'm not sure why but I just don't get excited about candy and costumes. It is a fun time to look at stationery though. Here are a few of my favorite designs I found on etsy.

Amy Butler Rugs

Have you seen these gorgeous new rugs from Amy Butler. They are incredibly beautiful in these photos. I can't imagine how they must look in person.

There are 19 rugs in the new collection and each one is handmade. The design is hand-carved into each rug. I'd love to see this process. That is some serious talent, and patience I would imagine!

All rugs are based on previous Amy Butler patterns. They are available in two sizes, 5' x 7' 6" and 7' 9" x 10' 6". You can purchase on Amy Butler's website.

These two are my favorite but I wouldn't mind owning any of them. Which one do you like best? 

Lace Stationery from PaperWren

Beautiful stationery from PaperWren inspired by antique lace. Each card is 4.25" x 5.5". Printed on 100% recycled paper on acid free cardstock. Stationery set comes with matching 100% recycled matching envelope.

Screen Printed Flower Cards

These beautiful screen printed cards are 3 1/2" x 4 7/8" and sold as a set of 6. Blank on the inside with plenty of room for a personal greeting. Love the vintage-inspired look. I seem to be into vintage lately!

Printed with gocco on premium 100 lb coverstock. Each card comes with matching lilac envelopes. You can purchase here.

Encouragement Cards

These encouragement cards caught my eye on etsy the other day. Both the colors and words create a beautiful card. Each card is blank on the inside and sold in sets of 6. Folded size is 5" x 3.5".

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.
