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.

Gift Wrap from Feterie

I've been into gift wrap the past few weeks. I saw some great sparkly wrap at Paper Source a few weeks ago but didn't have a need for it at the time. I should of bought some anyway. These great gift wrap designs are from the etsy shop of Feterie. With your order you get two sheets of hand screenprinted gift wrap. Each sheet is 19" x 25".

Feterie also has a blog. I'm glad I found it today. I'll be checking back often.

Funnel Paper Goods

When you are selecting your gift wrap this year don't forget about Funnel Paper Goods. They are definitely one of my favorite sites for gift wrap. I just love their prints. The paper comes in 28" x 40" sized sheets and is only $12.00.

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.

Gift Wrap, Recycle and Reuse

I was recently asked by a local magazine to put together some unique ideas for wrapping gifts. The article won't be published til October. Since most of my readers probably do not live in Cleveland I think it's ok to post. These ideas come from items that are found around your house or your office. There are so many things you can reuse to create cool gift wrap. You can view the ideas by clicking here. If the type is to small on the screen you should be able to double click and enlarge the copy.

Above is an image from one of my favorite unique wrapping ideas, Furochic Gift Wrap by Jenny Wren Paperie. I have posted about this before, but I just love it. This is also eco-friendly. You can reuse the gift bag as a purse. It would also be easy to recreate something like this... you can read more about that in the list.

The Gift Bag Factory

I don't know where to begin when talking about The Gift Bag Factory. I love this website. I'm a huge fan of gift bags and these are fantastic. The Gift Bag Factory features artwork from Pancake & Franks, BINTH, Sukie and many more awesome designers. You can purchase the gift bags directly from the website by calling or find a retailer near you.

Fish Lips Paper Designs

Fish Lips Paper Designs' products are made from 100% Post-Consumer recycled paper. Above are two of my favorite designs from the gift wrap collection. The site looks like it is in the beginning stages. I'm guessing we'll be seeing Fish Lips around a lot more in the upcoming months.
