Custom Holiday Cards from Sugar Paper

The ladies from Sugar Paper sent over a sneak peek at their studio during the holiday season.  As you might expect, they’ve been busy with custom holiday card orders over the last few weeks, trimming paper, stuffing envelopes, etc.   And although we didn’t order custom holiday cards this year, I’m definitely filing all of these away as inspiration for the future.  I’m loving all the pops of red (so perfect for the holidays!) and bordered details, plus the stitching on the last card is just waaay too perfect!

{happy weekend!}

Happy Friday everyone!  Do you all have fun plans for the weekend?  This is a bit of a special weekend for me, tomorrow is my 5-year first date anniversary with my husband!  We have plans for a low key celebration, which is kind of perfect for us.  I’m also looking forward to this holiday art sale at the Corcoran Museum here in DC.  But in the meantime…

…a few links for your weekend!

And just in case you missed it, a quick summary of this week’s posts:

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend – I’ll see you back here on Monday!

Monogram Note Cards

I often feel like the world’s worst giver of holiday gifts.  Gift selection is an incredibly personal process (at least for me), and with the pressure of the holiday season all of the great ideas I had during the rest of the year seem to go right out the window.  So around this time of year, and really any time of the year, monogram stationery and initial note cards become my go-to gift idea.  I’ve been keeping track of some favorites for my own holiday gift list, so I thought I’d share a few of my picks:
