Rock, Paper + Cup!

What a busy month this has been. I know I've written about Paper + Cup before, but I just love their work. Here is a sample of some new label designs they've created. The modern clean design is perfect to wrap up any correspondence. And what else but to invite people over to socialize! I am so ready for spring/summer. I was thinking of having lawn parties with make your own ice cream sundaes for the kids, but wondering how to make it even more special. I am digging the personalized wooden spoons. Sweet!

Haute Couture Correspondence

Who is the infamous Mr. Boddington? The New York studio have a stunning array of social stationery and invitations that leaves a distinct impression of old world correspondence to the modernity of couture stationery that are devilishly colorful and personal. The look and feel of the letterpress and the lovely use of hand-crafted font to mimic old school penmanship to the use of classic type foundry are a perfect combination to help an upscale socialite. How witty!

Handgedruckte Liebhabereien

{ Letteria, handgedruckte liebhabereien | Letterpress } is a small studio in Switzerland. Christa creates lovely handmade garlands. Her garlands made from maps are the perfect accessory to liven up a child's theme party or to add a wonderful decorative treatment in a child's playroom. What I love most are her letterpress coasters, gift tags and sweet stationery. Christa style is romantic and elegant. She sells her darling items on etsy but also have a lovely website as well, hope you can read Swedish. Härlig!
