We looooove calligraphy here at Oh So Beautiful Paper, from traditional flourishes to modern styles and everything in between. We’ve had the pleasure of featuring the beautiful calligraphy of Kathryn Murray in our monthly calligraphy feature and love seeing her work on wedding invitation envelopes and place cards. And today we’re super excited, because Kathryn is giving away her beautiful custom calligraphy address stamps to TWO lucky readers!
The lucky readers will each receive one acrylic address stamp (so you can see where you’re placing the address on the envelope!), a calligraphy monogram stamp, ink pad, and set of 8 blank cards and envelopes – you’ll be able to start writing letters to your friends and family right away!
To enter, visit Kathryn’s website and browse through her gorgeous calligraphy portfolio. Then come back here and leave a comment telling us who you love writing letters to the most and why! Perhaps your sister, parents, or an old friend from high school or college?
You’ll have until 11:59 p.m. on Friday, January 25 to enter the giveaway. One winner will be selected randomly and notified via email. Bonne chance!

I love writing letters to a 7 year old Guatemalan boy I sponsor (Safe Passage). I like to hand write them because I think that makes them more personable, warm and I think that somehow it communicates more that I care about him. I try to write them as neat as possible as I hope it helps in reading them.

I love snail mail and have several penfriends, but one of my newest faves is an elderly gentleman who was a regular patron at my last job. He lives close enough to visit in person but is enjoying writing and receiving mail too.
I love sending snail mail to my older sister who lives across the pond in England!
A friend of mine who I use to work with at a stationery studio. When she left the studio for a better job, we started sending each other notes that included illustrations and misc goodies. I love that we would both take the time to make something beautiful and special for each other.
A friend moved from NYC to New Zealand, and I love writing back and forth with her to stay in touch!
Oh I love this!

I still send a ton of handwritten letters, so picking a favorite is hard, but among my favorite people to write to is my spouse, especially when we’re on vacation together. I’ll pop a postcard of our trip in the mail to find us again at home with little reminders of what we did, which keeps all the details fresh for us even years later.

To be honest, I haven’t written a letter in 20 years. However, I am getting married and the process of sending save the dates and invitations has reminded me how personal and touching written correspondence can be. Thanks for the giveaway!
I would write letters to my friends across the globe. I am an avid birthday card sender, so this would be great for those too!

Though I love Facebook, Twitter, WordPress and all of the other wonderful things found on the world wide web, in my opinion there’s nothing better than snail mail. Therefore, I write letters and send cards non stop. Birthday wishes are done via birthday cards. Thank you notes are found in actual mailboxes vs. inboxes. And coming up soon, Valentines will be delivered to all of my girlfriends, because even though I’m extremely grateful for my hub, my gf’s were the original loves of my life. Kathryn’s calligraphy is GORG and I would love to use one of her stamps on my outgoing mail! Thanks for the chance to win!
I enjoy writing to an old classmate who lives on the other side of the country.
I love writing letters to my Grandmother!

Kathryn’s Placecards are fantastic! The fruit one in particular made me smile. I’d love to have a custom stamp!
I love to send cards… so many weddings and new babies in my life right now, not to mention thank you notes, valentines, et al! Her calligraphy is fantastic.
I love to send out thank you notes and Christmas cards to all my family and friends. I love it even more when they turn out pretty.
Kathryn, your work is gorgeous!
I love writing to two of my best friends from high school. We’ve known each other for so long and since I just moved to Atlanta from Los Angeles, we all love getting letters and packages from each other. It’s fun to have a piece of mail to look forward to!
I love writing letters to my best friend from college. She is a graphic designer as well and appreciates the extra special touches!!
I love writing to my sister. She’s in school in Alabama and I’m in Charleston, SC. We’ve never lived this far apart, but when we write we decorate envelopes, include picture cut-outs from magazines, quotes, and stories. It’s like an exciting gift in the mail every time!
I love sending pretty cards out in the mail! Birthdays holidays and thank yous are musts!
i celebrating birthdays, so cards & packages for those are a sure thing. with lots of friends having babies & celebrating anniversaries, those are fun celebrations to commemorate with a handwritten card or note, too. a beautiful address stamp would be such a treat for those special mailings, and for our wedding invitations
thank you so much for the beautiful, generous giveaway!
I don’t care who it is to, but I love sending thank you notes to loved ones! Whether it was a gift or for hosting me, I love saying thank you through snail mail!
Definitely my grandmother – she’s in the hospital now with pneumonia so I’ve been writing her more lately.
What a fantastic giveaway! I love writing letters to my grandfather — he has never turned on a computer, so we rely on snail mail (and the phone, of course) to communicate. I treasure his letters and am glad we can correspond through this sometimes forgotten medium.
I’ve been wanting to get a pretty address stamp for such a long time (my Etsy faves are filled with them!). These are so lovely!
I’ll be writing a lot of letters this summer while I’m away on holiday… its an excuse to pick out beautiful papers and write about my travels.

I enjoy writing letters to my mom and my sister! Even if it’s just a quick note I truly believe a hand-written message means so much more than a text or email. And I intend to keep that tradition alive and well!
to my Grandma! It makes her so happy to receive them.
Kathryn Murray designs are amazing! I love making cards and sending them to my friends! A custom stamp would be awesome!
I prefer to write as opposed to email! Whether it be a birthday, a thank you or a say-hello note, post is the way to go!

My best friend! We no longer live in the same city, but we do live by this quote “Friends can grow separately without growing apart.” For special occasions, we like to put sticky notes in the card, so we can hang them on our mirrors. Nothing beats her actual presence, but mail from her is a close second.

Randoms! I send letters to people I don’t know…is that crazy? I love the idea of connecting with strangers…it’s easy to be kind to the people you love but imagine making someone’s day…someone you’ve never met!
My Grandmama. She is the most amazing women I know. She is beautiful and strong. I want to be just like my grandmama when I grow old.
I adore writing letters to my brother! He just “gets” the need for beautiful stationary and a nice letter.

I love to write notes to my friends, both those who live close and far away! There’s nothing like a hand-written card to brighten your day.
I love writing letters to my little sister. She moved to Paris recently, and it’s our fun way of keeping in touch!
my grandmother! love her!

I love to write to my aunt and uncle in Boston!
I have grown to love calligraphy while planning my upcoming wedding. I love surprising people with cards in the mail. A note to say I miss you or just thinking about you can really brighten my day and I like to do the same for others. I mostly send then to my 2 best friends that live in New York and Sydney.
I love writing letters to my children, who all live far away from me. There is nothing better than finding a personal letter in your mailbox.
I love writing thank you notes.. not to anyone in particular, just when one is due.. a thank you for a present, a nice gesture.. anything.. I think the art of writing thank you notes has faded and it is a shame.. more people should write thank you notes!!
I love sending letters to all my friends who life outside the country!
I like writing notes to my granddaughter. I don’t want her generation to lose the art of beautiful handwriting, or the pleasure of reading a personal note.
I love writing letters to my fiance. I’m so much better at expressing myself through writing than speaking so I’m able to tell him how much I love him and am thankful for him – things I should say more often!
I love writing letters to my grandma because I know that she will read and reread my letter, and really cares about what I have to say
I have 3 best friends from college. We live all over the country now, but we manage to stay in constant contact. And though FB and email are undeniably convenient, I still love sending and receiving paper mail. Nothing makes my day like getting a real letter in the mailbox…

My 1st grade best friend. We’ve stayed pen pals through the years – she in Thailand, me in Dallas, her in New Orleans, me in Belgium. Sooo many stories, so many pens!
I still love writing to old friends -one who I went to summer camp with and family members who love stationery. Kathryn’s calligraphy is such an inspiration and I’d love to have a custom stamp!
