Read Me, Plant Me
We've said it before on the blog - loving both Planet Earth and stationery is a bit of a conflict of interest. But with lots of 100% post consumer print choices now, we can make more eco-friendly purchases. But cards that biodegrade and turn into wildflowers? Well, that's taking it to a whole new level! //Read More

Polaroid Notes
When it comes to artistic interests, I seem to jump from one thing to another and then back again. I love photography and lately I've been getting back into it. With the change in season and bright spring colours all around, I'm feeling more inspired to pull the camera out. //Read More
Cameron Moll
Last week, thanks to the Applied Arts blog, I got to read about the latest work from Cameron Moll. A Florida-based designer, his amazing typographic letterpress posters are unbelievable. From afar they look like typical ink renderings of architecture. Look closer and you'll see an entire canvas filled with typographic detail. //Read More
Umm… There’s a Card For That?
I recently found out an ex of mine got married and it got me thinking about greeting cards for "unique" situations. I'm sure I could have found what I was looking for given that there are greeting cards for most occasions. It's how the stationery world goes round. Having said that, not EVERY event to ever occur in the course of human existence needs to be memorialized with a card. Here are some that say things best left unwritten. //Read More
Lined With Love
For my wedding invitations, Cassie went all out and printed a pattern inside each envelope. I loved the look of surprise when my friends opened their invites. So I feel fortunate that we have such advanced inkjet printers to use at home to save on printing costs. Ahhh, it's so much work to print, cut, score, fold and glue your own invites - but it's worth it. //Read More
Easter Printables
Easter is just around the corner and also another holiday that us stationery lovers can create paper goodies for. I did partake in a few egg hunts when I was wee but as a grown-up, I'm just happy for some free time to enjoy spring! //Read More
Two Trick Pony!
When Cassie and I were searching for eco-related ideas and products to share last week, we came across many card companies that produced stationery from 100% recycled materials and vegetable-based inks. It's great to see that this is becoming common practice, especially since it's so hard to break the tradition of giving cards. Today, one of these companies is Two Trick Pony! //Read More
Recover: Not your Grandma’s Wallpaper
Wallpaper has been around forever (it sometimes seems to last forever) and it's definitely made a resurgence back into homes over the last few years. Typical wallpaper is made from vinyl with lots of chemicals so what about eco-friendly options? Funky Little Darlings has got it covered. //Read More
Reclaim: Now I’m an Envelope
Sometimes there's a conflict of interest in loving both the environment and stationery. It's easier now with lots of recycled and natural options to choose from but still, most items are just one time use. Not at moncy3! Instead of heading to the trash, all sorts for printed materials are reclaimed and turned into envelopes. //Read More
