I love it when my favorite creative bloggers start new ventures! Alyson from Unruly Things is in the early stages of starting up a stationery shop called Postal Press, where she'll be selling letterpress stationery and packaging goodies:

{woodgrain + country-inspired letterpress invitations}
So it turns out that some of you have already used the embossed woodgrain paper from Gmund – excellent! Spark Stationery sent over photos of this letterpress pocket invitation that they printed for an upcoming winter wedding:
I love the way the woodgrain texture complements the silver and blue palette of the invitations. And since I was poking around on the Spark Stationery blog, I couldn't help but also include these country-inspired wedding invitations:
Cheree Berry’s Modern Floral Wedding Invitations
Love, love the wedding invitations that Cheree Berry designed for her own wedding last year:
Via Martha, Cheree’s guests opened their mailboxes to find: “creamy envelopes addressed in swirls of red calligraphy… different printing techniques (including engraving and letterpress), unexpected touches (the origami chart of St. Louis attractions), and fanciful details (the bee on the reply card).”  I’m particularly fond of the color palette of red, orange, and robin’s egg blue, not to mention all the amazing details in this modern wedding invitation suite. So lovely!
You can see more of Cheree’s work on her website, as well as here, here, and here – and more details from her beautiful wedding right here.

Simple + Creative Business Cards
I absolutely love to see the business cards from my favorite design studios – as much as I love their invitation, print, and stationery work, I always feel like business cards give just a little bit more insight into their personality as a designer. So I couldn’t have been happier when Angela from SeeSaw Designs posted her business cards earlier today:
The design totally makes sense – clean and simple, but still completely creative with different typefaces and that adorable stitching detail on the side of the card.  I think this is the first time I’ve seen stitching incorporated into business cards, and I’d definitely love to see more.

Letterpress Initial Note Cards from Carta, Inc
Carta, Inc. is one of my favorite etsy stores, and it was so nice to finally meet Angela while visiting her booth at this year’s National Stationery Show. At the NSS, Angela launched a new line of beautiful letterpress cards, called the Abc line:
As a quick side note, if you haven’t seen Angela’s Italian cotton ribbon, you absolutely MUST go check them out. I used some of Angela’s ribbons to wrap the bouquets at my wedding last year, and I can’t even describe how beautiful the ribbons are in person. Check out her full ribbon selection right here!
