Oh So Beautiful Paper

Archive for April, 2009

Today over at EAD I'm featuring the lovely calligraphy of Jenna Hein – I hope you'll come on over to check it out!

p.s.  I'm having one of those days where I just can't seem to catch up with the pace of the day.  Anyone else have those days?

I'm loving these fun yellow + kraft paper invitations, created by Rachel and Lisa from Jolie Jolie for Lisa's upcoming wedding:

Aren't these just so stinkin' cute?!  I love every detail from these invitations, from the letterpress CD packaging to the color palette to the typography.  Check out more about the design and process over on the Jolie Jolie blog here, here, and here.

Here are a few more Mother’s Day cards that I’ve come across, in case anyone still has yet to get theirs:

{Spring Olive}

{Smock Paper}

{Wiley Valentine}

{Sycamore Street Press}

{Fourteen Sisters}

{Tallulah Cards}

If you order now, you should still be able to get the cards in time to mail them out for Mother’s Day.  But don’t wait too much longer if you haven’t yet gotten your cards!

You’ll be seeing these invitations all over the blogosphere this week – but for very good reason, they’re amazing!  Erica from Thoughtful Day, whose wedding invitations I featured last year, just launched her own wedding invitation line, called the Melodie Collection.  We got a sneak peek at these gorgeous invitations at The B List meet up last weekend, and let me tell you, these invitations are even more lovely in person!

The idea behind the Melodie Collection is that couples can select their own colors and patterns to mix and match their letterpress wedding invites, creating a completely unique invitation suite that also fits their budget.  Erica currently offers four Melodie themes, each available in three color combinations.   Erica truly has a wonderful gift when it comes to pattern and color, and each piece coordinates perfectly both within and across design themes.

In addition to the Melodie Collection, Erica also offers custom invitation design:

And, as if that wasn’t enough, Erica also designs cutsom tote bags –  she even did the tote bag for The B List meet up!

Congratulations Erica!
