Oh So Beautiful Paper

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!

Happy Monday everyone! It’s the last week of posting before I take a little holiday break until the new year, and I’m absolutely thrilled to be starting the week with a giveaway of this amazing 2013 planner from Laurel Denise!

The Laurel Denise planner has been one of my very favorites for the last few years – and it’s perfect for folks (like us) who appreciate good design and want something pretty to help stay organized. From the cover (in five different color options, including metallic gold!) to the clean and modern layout, it’s one of the most beautiful planners I’ve ever seen. It’s also super-functional, with monthly and weekly calendars to help you manage your schedule and lots of space for to do lists, notes, and lots more!

It’s hard to believe that it has already been four years since I started Oh So Beautiful Paper – half on a whim and half at the urging of an intuitive husband who knew I needed a creative outlet beyond redecorating our apartment every six months.  I’m incredibly grateful for the opportunity to share beautiful paper with all of you every day and for the amazing friendships and relationships that I’ve developed over the last four years, from fellow bloggers to readers to amazingly talented designers and stationers.  So today we’re celebrating with a fantastic giveaway!

Jackie from 42 Pressed is offering a lucky reader the chance to win letterpress wedding invitations from their collection!  The winner will receive 100 2-color letterpress wedding invitations, along with coordinating rsvp cards and envelopes.  Jackie also has a little treat for anyone who enters the giveaway that we’ll announce a bit later in the week, so make sure you read below for details on how to enter!

So here’s how to enter:  Head over to 42 Pressed to browse their wedding invitation collection.  Choose your favorite design, then come back here and leave a comment with a brief explanation of how that invitation fits into your wedding vision.  You can also tweet about the giveaway or post a link to your Facebook page for an additional entry – just make sure you leave a separate comment with a link to your tweet or Facebook post!

A winner will be selected randomly, and you’ll have until 11:59 p.m. EST on Thursday, September 13 to enter the giveaway.  Bonne chance!
