Business Cards – Moontree Letterpress

I've definitely got business cards on the brain this week!  Moontree Letterpress recently started offering these customizable business card templates in their etsy store, designed primarily for fellow etsy shop keepers. 

The templates and limited ink choices allow Moontree to keep the costs down, which is great for independent designers and shops seeking to promote their businesses.  My favorites are the button and spool designs:

You can find the other designs in their etsy shop right here.  Moontree Letterpress also has a fabulous portfolio of wedding invitations, business cards, and custom projects.  You can check out their full portfolio here, and some of their recent projects on the Moontree Letterpress blog right here.

Ellie + Brendan’s Yellow and Gray Floral Wedding Invitations

Yay!  Ellie is finally back from her wedding (congrats Ellie!), and I’m super-excited to see that she’s posted pictures of her lovely gocco’d wedding invitations!  For those of you who remember Ellie’s fabulous Save the Dates, you won’t be surprised to see that her invitations are full of more sunny yellow goodness:

Pretty Pretty Packaging

It’s official.  I’m completely addicted to The Dieline.  I find endless sources of inspiration in all the gorgeous packaging featured there, from the lovely patterns to the quirky hand-lettering:
