So these amazing lobster bib save the dates? (Yes, lobster bib save the dates!) Well, they’re basically completely awesome in my book. Shared by the lovely Laini of The Curious Ink, the save the date design was screen-printed onto lobster bibs, folded, tied with navy …

Paper popsicles. They’re popping up everywhere lately and I’m completely loving them. Do you remember being a kid and running around on hot summer days slurping on popsicles? I do. I was usually barefoot with long tangled hair and skinned knees. Because that’s how I rolled. (For the record, that’s pretty much how I still roll.) Whether styled as impossibly adorable party invitations, crafted into a kid-friendly game of memory, or rockin’ out as pretty wall art, popsicles are where …

As a bit of a famed paper and stationery junkie, I’ve been a fan of Minted for a long time. In fact, I can’t tell you how many times I’ve referred clients and friends to check them out.

Incredible colors, style and typography with a whole bunch of customization options for paper, envelopes and backings makes Minted collection stand out from …

Personally, I love holiday cards that are fun, colorful and feature some combination of great envelopes, beautiful typography, hand lettering and a bit of funky personality. I think we can all relate to loving holiday mail! As always, I defer to my awesome friend Nole of Oh So Beautiful Paper for the most complete and awe-inspiring holiday card coverage going, but …

I love the awesome party in a box that Amanda Jane Jones designed for her husband’s 30th birthday. Realizing most of the people she wanted to invite to the 30th birthday party she really wanted to throw him, she instead bundled up the party and sent it to them! Each package contained confetti, party straws, buttons, jelly beans, paper mustaches, an info-graphic inspired by the birthday boy and instructions to have a party and send photos. Pretty genius, right? …

The sophisticated color palette paired with the fun, child-like hand lettering is just the …
