The Sweetest Occasion

Today just so happens to be the birthday of Bryn of Paperfinger so I thought I’d share a little bit of her amazing work. Namely, the amazing calligraphy love letter transcription service that she offers, because it has me dreaming of all sorts of lovely things to say to my husband. Wouldn’t this be the [...]

I love the unique perspective and raw love of letterpress that Yee-Haw Industrial brings to designing and printing their creations. The illustrations on this set of letterpress cake cards were created by Peggy of Magpies Bakery. The cards come as a set, paired with kraft paper envelopes so they can be used as note cards. [...]

Some things are just too good not to share and these ingenious DIY origami heart engagement party invitations Amy from Eat Drink Chic and her fiancé made are just one such example. While this project might be biting off a bit too much to chew for some couples, I love the idea of working together [...]

I’ve been reading (and loving) the blog of Gus & Ruby Letterpress, appropriately named Paper Hounds, since before owners Samantha and Whitney had even opened shop. The gals behind Gus & Ruby are letterpress-obsessed and dog-loving, just like me, and even named their gorgeous Portsmouth, New Hampshire shop after their two doggies, Gus and Ruby. [...]

I love Erin Jang’s work and her incredible eye for sweet, quirky, modern design. These custom heart-shaped accordion-folded wedding invitations are so indicative of what I love about Erin’s designs.

I am in love with this charming Valentine’s Day card from Eva Juliet, hand lettered in both French and English with an assortment of pet names and proclamations of love.

The ladies behind Sunday Suppers pretty much seem to be a bottomless well of creativity and, to be honest, they’re pretty much my idols. Ohhh to create such pretty food and flowers and crafty projects and take such amazing photographs. Now that is talent, folks. But I digress. One of the things I love most [...]

Today I am loving these pretty pink baby shower invitations. They were laid out in InDesign and then created using an inkjet printer, a sewing machine, Japanese paper charms, and little scraps of tulle, tissue and cupcake liners. Aren’t they incredibly sweet and charming? Perfect for a baby shower to welcome a little girl. I [...]
