brown paper

One of my favorite parts of my job is finding new designers. Recently I was introduced to Brown Paper, a boutique card shop out of London. Sarah and Juliette are cousins who have teamed up to create this sweet, cheery, and fresh paper line. They have a really lovely selection of ready to send cards, here are a few of my favorites. Gold and glitter, done!

They also run Bespoke by Brown Paper, their  custom line which is quite fun! I love nothing more than custom stationery, invitations, and greetings.

It’s That Time Already

Last year we ordered holiday cards from Minted.com for the first time and I loved them. I am so excited to pick out what we are going to send this year. It seems like a daily I get an email from them, and today I happened to be at my computer instead of phone. So I took the time to click through and see what some of our options might be. Immediately I fell in love with this great design by j.bartin design from New York City. We will not be able to use this card, not enough going on with us this year!  But I think that it is great, and a nice way to tell people what your family has been up to in a fun, and  unique way.

Social Proper

Social Proper, what a cute name, is a new paper line by Elizabeth Edie in Baltimore, Maryland. The cards are hand painted and could not be sweeter. Right now the collection is small and very well curated. That being said, I want them all! I really love the pattern cards as they take everyday correspondence up a notch!

one canoe two

For years I have been a fan of Columbia, Missouri based print shop One Canoe Two. Most people who have been around on etsy for a while are probably familiar with their letterpress recipe cards and box set. It is all hand made by Beth and Carrie in a big farm barn, and makes the best gift to give or keep. I was overjoyed to meet them at the Stationery show in May and can’t wait for the order’s to come into the store’s. I have my eye on a few items…

here it is!

Last week when I posted about art for children’s rooms I was inspired by a print that I had seen a few days before.  I then spent about 2.5 hours looking for it, and could not find it. But, hooray!!! I have found it.

Save the Date


I made these really quickly one night a few weeks ago when I started to panic about people having information about the wedding. The idea came from an idea in Martha Stewart Weddings a few issues back. Martha’s was made to be a postcard, however I was a bit nervous about the little envelope making it all the way to the recipients houses with the rest of the card. I decided to adapt it a bit and make it an enclosure. I really like how it turned out, and had a great time hand stamping all of them.

Put Your Stamp on It

custom stamps from stamps.com 

After I had applied all of my stamps to the rsvp envelopes and they were nice and secure in my sealed and addressed outer envelopes I realized that I had heard the price of stamps was increasing sometime in the near future. And then I panicked.

It turns out that we are in the clear, stamp prices will be raised once cent to $0.42 on the 12th of May 2008. Our rsvp’s are due in before that, but for anyone who will be purchasing stamps for use after that date be aware of what you are purchasing and make sure to ask questions, not that you always get great answers at the post office. Also, you can save some money and purchase some of the 5 billion, according to the USPS web site, forever stamps that I have been put into circulation to prepare for the great money hike.

Also, you can purchase customized stamps for various wedding mailings. There are a lot of sites out there, on of which is stamps.com, who offer this service. Make sure to have the post office weigh what you intend to use the stamps for so that you order them with the correct postage. Use your engagement photos for invitations, or a landmark where you will be wed. And for the thank you notes, choose your favorite portrait from the wedding, or event. This would also be so cute for birthdays and baby showers, or birth announcements. I have to also mention that this could go very wrong and be really cheesy, so walk the thin line with this and make sure that it is done tastefully and not tackily.

All in One Place

the mini binder by Russell and Hazel
 

All of the wedding books tell you that you have to have all of your wedding information with you at all times. What if there is an emergency table linen disaster and you need to make a decision that cannot wait until you get home? The world could end. And lord knows, people do not have enough to carry around with them without taffeta swatches.

I decided to take this advice with a grain of salt, but knew that I needed to step up my daily planner and information storage system. And, as my parents tell you, I love a good binder, always have. Anything that is organizational I can’t get enough of. A few years ago, I came across Russell and Hazel, the ultimate affordable, fun, durable organization company for all things desk related. Their products can be hard to come by, at least a good variety in their product line, so I quickly went on their web site to see if there was a local retailer in Baltimore. Luckily, there was, Chelle Paperie, where we then had our invitations designed and printed.

mini filler paper by Russell and Hazel 

I decided to go with the Mini Binder, in gold, of course, and all kinds of great inserts. I loaded up with lined paper, a calender, an address insert and folders to place those little things that seem to disappear into your purse. I cannot recommend this company enough. I am still using binders that I purchased over 5 years ago, and that is saying a lot for me! So check them out you will be glad you did.
