It’s a new year and a new calendar for my desk, courtesy of my calendar swap mate, Amanda. In October, Design Crush and Greedy Girl hosted their 3rd annual Calendar Swap and I got paired with a fellow artist from the US East Coast. It’s kind of like pen pals, but with calendars… and email. As paired by the hosts, …
Perfect for Papas
Father’s Day is just next week but it’s not too late to get a card and pop in the mail or if you’re lucky, to give it in person. A couple months ago, Eggpress had a big sample sale so I ordered a whole bunch of cards, just in case. They bundle off 10 at a time and fortunately, a …
For Dad
It’s been a while since we’ve featured paper products. And with a few occasions coming soon in June – thought it would be nice to talk about some of our favourite Father’s Day cards. I think most of us have given dad a tie at some point in his life. My dad is super difficult to buy for – picky …
Happy Mama’s Day
I hope your first response to the blog post title isn’t, “Oh crap!” Yup, Mother’s Day is this weekend so you better rush out to get a card, flowers or gift if you haven’t already. But maybe you can do it after reading this post? My mom is the most difficult person to shop for. Seriously. It’s not that she …
Delicate Matters
For the past few months, I’ve been holding off from taking a letterpress course at Emily Carr. I would love to learn but I think it would only tempt me into purchasing such equipment. So instead, I think I’ll continue my hunt for letterpress goodies in the online community. Today, enjoy detailed views at cards from Letterpress Delicacies. If the …
Elum Letterpress
I just realized that it’s been a while since we last did a post on letterpress. So for you texture junkies, we’ve got your fill with more of the latest letterpress cards from Elum. You’ll love these patterns, colours and type treatments! It’s been a busy weekend for me, celebrating many March birthdays. Went to a friend’s birthday Saturday night …
It’s a Modus Christmas!
Last weekend I went to Got Craft in search of a Christmas present but as usual got distracted by the stationery and this fab at-home screen printer. The craft show was great, I found what I was looking for but I also got the chance to meet a local Letterpresser! Manna Wescott, the Principal & Design Director of Modus Paperie …
Christmas Coasters
Tis the season which means lots of visits with friends and family. I’m sure you’ll have at least a few guests over for yummy drinks like eggnog or hot cocoa. While I’m not super uptight about coasters under mugs I’ll make an exception for these letterpress beauties. Although I think I’d prefer them without a mug on top so I …
Five For Friday – In the Kitchen
In celebration of the US Thanksgiving, thought we’d break out the stationery to keep the cook organized. This holiday, impress the in-laws with skills not only in the seasoning department, but also the planning. Or for those with kitchen-phobia, motivate yourself to cook with some awefully cute kitchen cards. Every great recipe deserves a great home. Find that with a …
Home Letterpress!
Received this email from Paper Source yesterday about a new and personal-sized letterpress machine! Gift giving season is here and it’s time to start making your Christmas wish list! Will this be on yours? Very similar to embossing kits, mix and match templates for the Christmas season. And maybe get a Rubbermaid container while you’re at it… Everything you need …
