New Site and Shop Launching June 10th

I'm here! I'm here! I'm sorry for being away for so long, unexpectedly. However there will be a new blog and a new online shop launching on June 10th. Please stop back in a couple weeks. I have a lot to catch up on here.

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.

Corkskin Journal

These corkskin journals are currently on sale at auto for $16.00. They are 8.25 x 5.25" and have 20 colored pages. Available in pink, green or orange.

Messenger Bird Press

These little wood creatures from Messenger Press are so cute. They are blank inside so perfect any time. All cards are beautifully created with letterpress. I love the flower design too. Makes me think of warm spring weather!

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.

Light Posting

I'm sorry for my lack of posts this week. I guess that's what happens when blogging is not you're full time job, right? Thanks for understanding. I'll be back on Monday. Have a good weekend.

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!

On a Side Note

My husband and I just booked a trip to Cabo San Lucas in Mexico. We're really excited and we've never been to this part of Mexico before. Has anyone traveled to Cabo recently? Any reviews to share before we go? Thanks!

Ink+Wit

I bought this beautiful print from Ink+Wit the other night. It was part of the 2008 wall calendar. Only eleven prints were made and I'm so happy to be getting one. It was printed by Pistachio Press.
