Sunday, January 17th, 2010Nina Bell of Tweedle Press emailed me about her very cool concept – send her your paper recyclables, and she’ll turn your junk mail, leftover scraps of wrapping paper, etc. into beautiful handmade sheets of paper. She also offers customized letterpress printing on your pretty new paper. Here’s a look:
In hibernation.
Sunday, January 3rd, 2010Happy 2010 everyone! In Boston, the new year brought a pile of snow with it, so I’ve kind of been in hibernation mode – wearing thick socks and trying to stay warm. In that vein, I’m especially appreciating this handmade, hand-sewn book by Brooklyn-based Jackie Bos, I Heart the Arctic, inspired by Inuit myths and [...]
I’m famous!
Saturday, August 1st, 2009Sweet! My printable notecard design is featured on the fantastic blog iDiY. iDiY catalogues all kinds of great design goodies for special events – think invitations, labels, favor packages, etc… and many are free for download. Here are a couple of my favorites – vintage-style labels from Amy at Eat.Drink.Chic… …and cheerful striped box wrappers [...]
Seeing stripes.
Wednesday, June 3rd, 2009Ooo… love the subtle bands of color on these ribbon-like rolls of tape (from happytape, now available stateside here). Don’t know what to do with them? Happytape is more than happy to tell you here. Via Oh Joy!
Maps & metallics.
Friday, May 8th, 2009Thanks to Ellen for pointing me to these gorgeous custom-designed invitations from Lisa Hoffman’s Ceci New York – each a lovingly detailed little package bursting with style. Love these in particular, with their jet-set motifs and shimmering blue hues…
Sweetbeets.
Saturday, April 11th, 2009I’m kind of obsessed with yellow right now… is it just me? Is it spring? In any case, I’m loving the kid-friendly and very fresh palette of yellows, oranges, and blues in these sweet letterpressed gift tags from Toronto-based Sweetbeets. Also check out their etsy shop and blog for more!
Work pretty.
Saturday, March 21st, 2009I’ve been spending a lot of time at the office lately, which has turned my attention to the sad fact that I’ve neglected to stock my office drawer with supplies and knick-knacks prettier than the standard-issue. So! I’m on a mission to dig up snazzier replacements. Here are some contenders. Shown above: Mateo Ilasco numbers [...]
Design Police.
Thursday, March 5th, 2009Hate Comic Sans? Horrible stock photos? Bad writing? Download Design Police‘s Visual Enforcement Kit and plaster everything with these little stickies. (Kind of like the ones that come in my issues of Domino, but more righteous.) (Thanks Julie!)
Fomato for all.
Monday, March 2nd, 2009At last! My favorite absurdist cards are now available online at Fomato’s shop. Here are some highlights (“It’s pizza’s job to be incredible”? “I’m busy with this burrito”? “It is a super ugly mango”? I’m totally laugh-crying here).
Eieio.
Friday, February 20th, 2009It’s a wrap with these Eieio papers from designer Jean Orlebeke – no more cheesy gift paper! Her designs are inspired by mid-century modern design, modern sculpture, and the patterns of hand woven textiles. Below are some of my favorites (including Charm, Flex, Ogo, Knots, Mesh, Puff, Sonic Neue, and Wisp).
Short and sweet.
Monday, January 12th, 2009Love these 2″ x 3.5″ mini notes and postcards from Tara Hogan’s Ink + Wit (all soy inks and recycled papers, of course). Perfect for a succinct little note.
Letterform.
Monday, January 5th, 2009Happy 2009! I am back and blogging after a long New Year’s weekend full of snowboarding (I am pleased to report I am still in one piece), cooking, and prancing around in long underwear. Let’s kick off the year with a look at Chicago-based Letterform‘s line of punny letterpress cards that belie their love of [...]
