Thoughts on designer paper, creative designs and unique stationery gifts.

A Punkin Card Company

Tuesday, July 1, 2008

This is my favorite card in the etsy shop of A Punkin Card Company. Maybe it's not your favorite though. Amie Needham has a lot of great designs to offer in her etsy shop. The company began in 2007 and most of you are probably already familiar with some of Amie's designs. Personally I read Amie's blog and keep up with her designs as much as possible.

Smock

Monday, June 30, 2008


I instantly fell in love with this website. Located in Syracuse New York, Smock is a letterpress shop with 20 antique presses. All printing is on luxury bamboo paper. Smock is the first and currently the only print shop to offer printing on this kind of sustainable paper. Visit the Smock website to find a retailer near you. Their work looks amazing online so I'm guessing it's even more beautiful in person.

Turtle Papers

Friday, January 11, 2008



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.

Neah Bay Douglas {NBD} Letterpress

Thursday, November 8, 2007



Neah Bay Douglas Letterpress was recently featured in the September issue of Town & Country Weddings. NBD creates custom wedding invitations that are letterpress printed on 100% cotton handmade paper. NBD also carries a custom line of baby stationery and boxed cards. My favorite part of these stationery products are the pressed botanical embellishments. They are presented so elegantly. They have a small presence but truly make for a unique product.

Just Another Day

Tuesday, October 30, 2007



The etsy shop of Just Another Day has some beautiful holiday cards and tags. However it's not even November yet and I think I've viewed to much holiday stationery. So, I thought I would post a few other designs from Just Another Day. These cards are 5.5" x 4.5" and blank on the inside. You get 4 per pack.

Swoozies

Tuesday, October 23, 2007

Swoozies is a great web site with an assortment of designer invitations. This is a great site to find stationery gift items. Many of the items can be personalized with a name or initials. Swoozies is currently celebrating their 6 year anniversary. I've never heard of them before but it looks like the people behind Swoozies know how to sell great paper products! They have a ton of products so check out the site when you have some free time.

Momental Designs

Monday, September 24, 2007


Kristy emailed me to tell me about her custom invites and stationery. Kristy's website is called Momental and she creates invites for all occasions. I was looking through the site and one thing I really liked about Kristy's work is the variety she displays. There are many different styles present on her site. So, no matter what you're looking for chances are that Kristy is going to be able to help you out.

Avie Designs

Friday, September 7, 2007



Avie Designs updated their etsy shop yesterday. You can now purchase these lard adhesive labels that are shown in the first image above. These labels would be cool to use instead of a gift tag. I'm always looking for creative packaging designs. Avie Designs has some awesome stationery as well. Make sure to check out the updated shop!

Lizard Press

Thursday, September 6, 2007


Lizard Press is an etsy shop filled with letterpress stationery. On the Lizard Press blog there is a good post about what goes into letterpress pricing. This is a great read. I know the basics about letterpress but I enjoy reading about it from people who actually make letterpress stationery.

The sun and moon cards pictured above are printed on one of my favorite papers, Fox River's recycled Confetti. The cards are made with vintage wood type and contemporary polymer plates.

The Congratulations card above is a reprint of William Morris' wallpaper designs from the 1800's. Interesting!

Paper Stories

Friday, August 31, 2007


These letterpress notecards from Paper Stories are beautiful. They are based off vintage embroidery patterns. It almost looks like they are embroidered, but they're not. Paper Stories also has a nice collection of wedding stationery. You can purchase on the Paper Stories website or at etsy.

Write Robinson Stationery

Tuesday, August 28, 2007


Angel from Write Robinson recently sent me an email to let me know about her stationery. I'd actually seen some of her work posted on cuteable a few weeks ago. I love the image with the draw string bag. You can see how much time and thought goes into Angel's work.

Each card from Write Robinson is different from the next. No two cards will ever be the same. However the high level of quality will be noticed in each piece.

Angel tells a great story about her love for paper and how her company began. If you'd like to read more about her story, click here.

Now is a great time to make a purchase from Write Robinson. From now until the end of September you can receive 20% off your order. Enter the code "PAPERSHOPINK" when checking out. Thanks Angel for this great offer!

Sub-Studio

Tuesday, July 31, 2007


Not only does Sub-Studio have beautiful stationery but they have very unusual eye-catching prints. These prints shown above are called visible:invisible. The prints represent creatures that are living around us that we can not see. Pretty neat. Visit the Sub-Studio etsy store for more items.

Dewey Howard

Monday, July 23, 2007



This journal and note set from Dewey Howard would make a great gift (second picture). Inside the folder you get a set of notecards and a mini journal. It makes my day so much better when I come across websites that I have never seen before. The products are so colorful and fun. I also love the site design. I had to include a small image of the homepage.
