Anna Ruby King

Anna recently sent me an email about her handmade cards. They are really unique so of course I'm more than happy to post them here. Anna's cards are made with recycled card stock and fabric. The fabric adds such special detail to the cards. They're beautiful. Check out Anna's etsy shop here.

Angela Liguori

Hi. I'm going to try to get caught up on some submissions this week.

These hard-cover handmade book photos were sent in by Angela Liguori. Angela is a stationery designer and book artist living in Boston. The books are hand-sewn using Italian thread. You can shop Angela's collection right here.

Paper Lion

The other night I opened up my closet and saw a jar of book paste had spilled all over the floor. That was not a fun night. I never got all the paste out of the carpet but at least it's in the closet. Next time I will have to skip the book paste and try another method like some of the bindings in the etsy shop of Paper Lion. Paper Lion offers many notebooks and notepad holders. There are many different patterns and sizes. Click here to start shopping.

SISKAstudio

I'm just showing you a few things from the etsy shop of SISKAstudio, but you should definitely check out the rest of the collection. The shop is full of colors and textures. This shop has a wide range of style. Each item is different from the next. Shops like this are very interesting. You never know what the artist is going to create next.

Mini Favor Boxes

These mini favor boxes would be fun for many occasions. Each favor box is double sided. The boxes come unassembled so you can choose which pattern to show on the outside. When put together the boxes measure 1 1/2" x 1 1/2" x 7/8". I love the patterns!

You can purchase 18 boxes for $5.00 right here.

Pop-Up Cards by Tracy Chong

These handmade pop-up cards are amazing! The cards are 5.2" x 4" and are made of cardstock. Each card comes with a matching envelope. I can imagine how much time goes into creating one of these cards. They are very unique.

Tracy is currently earning her graduate degree in science but obviously she also has a strong passion for art. If you're looking for something special to send to a friend definitely check out Tracy's shop.

Turtle Papers

Turtle Papers is probably one of my favorite online stationery shops. I have to control myself from posting about them everyday. The work they produce is beautiful. They also have a lot more to offer besides stationery. The online shop carries wall art, gift tags, calendars and even tees.

paperedtogether

Valentine's Day cards are everywhere. I'm really liking the collection in the etsy shop of papereredtogether. They are sort of nontraditional but that's what makes them unique. The letterpress cards are printed on 100% cotton (tree free) paper.

Ice Cream Social

I fell in love with these cards posted on design*sponge the other day. They are so pretty and perfect for valentines day or any day of course. The cards are from the etsy shop of Ice Cream Social. Six cards in a pack with matching envelopes. Pretty, Pretty, Pretty!

Elfrida

Elfrida is graphic artist in California working towards her degree in architecture. (Love her name!) However I think she's a pretty good designer. Her cards and tags for sale in her etsy shop are beautiful.

Jenn Ski Notecards

I don't remember Jenn Ski selling notecards in the past but maybe she did. These awesome Pod Cards are 3 1/2" x 4 7/8" folded. The cards are printed with Jenn's popular designs. They are blank on the inside so you can use them for any occasion. Sold in packs of four.

Joom

One thing I'm doing for sure this year is decorating my house. We have lived there for a year now and it still doesn't feel like home. It's hard for me to make decisions about painting and nailing things to the wall. So far I'm off to a good start though. Yesterday I purchased a print from Yellena and today I purchased the above green and brown image from joom. I've always been a fan of the work from joom so I'm happy I finally made this purchase. I also love the fact that the artwork is already framed. That's one less thing I have to do!

Essimar

What I like most about the etsy shop of Essimar is the variety. The paper layered prints are amazing and the note cards are very unique. If you purchase one of the paper layered prints you actually get an original not a copy or scan. There is only a certain number of prints created in each set.

I love finding an artist on etsy and then visiting their personal website. Essimar has a pretty cool site and blog.

Jengs Shop

Some days I search and search for something amazing to post about. It's not everyday I feel so in love with what I post about though. Today I am in love with these notebooks from Jengs Shop. They are just gorgeous. The books are saddle stitched and contain 30 pages of sketch paper. Size is 4.5" x 6.5". These would make perfect stocking stuffers. Hopefully Jen would still be able to rush them to you if you need a last minute gift. I think I need a last minute gift for myself.

Mod Pod Notecards

I love the colors used on these "Mod Pod Notecards" from the esty shop of The Craft Pantry. The cards are a digital illustration and are printed on textured white paper. Size is 4.25" x 5.5" and blank on the inside. Blank note cards are always great to have in the house. You can use them for any occasion.

Remake - Rewrite, Mini Notebooks

These are handmade mini notebooks from Remake. Each notebook is made from salvaged materials. Isn't it amazing how you can create something so cool out of something used. I really envy people that can produce work like this.

The inside pages include: graph paepr, kraft papers and paper from ledger & legal pads. All the paper is recycled.

Freshly Blended

Have you checked out the winter collection from Freshly Blended. Nicole just added the second half of the collection to her etsy shop. The collection includes these awesome matchbox jotters. They include some of Nicole's original artwork. I love the simplicity in color and design.

Beautiful Envelopes from Notty by Nature

I would love to receive a letter in one of these envelopes. They are so pretty. It's not everyday you find such custom cool envelopes. All these envelopes are hand cut and pasted together. There are many different styles for sale in the etsy shop of Notty by Nature.

Two Guitars

I found these Gocco cards in the etsy shop of Two Guitars. Love the shop name! The cards measure 4.5" x 6". They are hand cut and come with a matching A6 envelope. The cards are single sided postcards. Perfect for a little note.

Bookmark Books

I thought these were pretty cool. These bookmarks from SpaceDog Studios are actually little notebooks. They are handmade and measure 1 x 5.75". There are 40 blank pages available for you to jot down your thoughts while reading your favorite book. Cool idea!

Letteria

Presentation is everything! I was drawn to the etsy shop of Letteria by the look of the shop page. Now we all know that etsy is pretty standard and most pages look the same besides the products and the header images. However I love how mostly all the products on Letteria's page match in color and style. It creates such a mood/feeling as well as a defined theme. Isn't the garland great? If you're hosting a holiday party this year this garland might be a nice finishing touch to your holiday decor.

Modern Printed Matter

I wish I got to use patterns more often on a daily basis. These are beautiful note cards from Modern Printed Matter. The patterns are so simple but looks so awesome. The cards are sold in a set of 6 and are 4" x 5.5".

Today

You should too!

Sapling Press

I’m sort of in a trance today. I think I have to much going on at the moment and with the holidays coming up I’m feeling a little overwhelmed. Sorry if it seems I’ve been neglecting the blog,I’m still here!

When I was reading Cuteable the other day I came across these definition cards from Sapling Press. They’re so pretty. I thought Sapling Press sounded familiar and realized I saw some of there products a few years ago at the Biazarre Bizarre in Cleveland. This was way before I started this blog though. I'm happy to see some new work from them and looking forward to the new web site.

Gift Wrap from Erin Ruth

Some gorgeous gift wrap from Erin Ruth. These trendy designs are available in 24” x 36” sheets. They have a silk finish and are printed on 80# text. Erin also sells matching ribbon in her shop. Erin is running an eco sale. Right now you can get up to 20% off selected items.

Petite Pear {Gift Tags}

The day after Thanksgiving we started receiving Christmas Cards. It still feels early to me. However this told me I should probably decide what cards to send out this year. I still haven't done that but I did purchase these gift tags from the etsy shop of Petite Pear. This is a start right?

I spent about an hour on etsy trying to decide which gift tags to purchase. These were definitely my favorites so I wanted to share them with you. Petite Pear has a huge selection of gift tags for sale.

Nic Events - Holiday Style!

Nicole from nic events emailed me to let me know that tomorrow (11/21) she is launching a holiday card line. The cards will be for sale on Nicole's website and on etsy. I thought I would post these cards because they're definitely unique. If you're looking for a different approach to sending a special card this holiday season, you might find what you're looking for at nic events.

I love the card regarding the office behavior. I thought it was pretty funny. Make sure to check out DearNic on etsy tomorrow. Thanks for the email Nicole!

Field & Sea

Wow! I just fell in love with these small gift boxes this morning from Field & Sea. They are gorgeous and completely handmade. The etsy shop of Field & Sea carries many different patterns and sizes. Great for gifts like jewelry and candy.
