Autumn at Rifle Paper Co

One of my favourite stationery companies Rifle Paper Co based in Florida, have come up with some lovely greetings cards, invites and place name cards for Autumn. Many are for the American market with Thanksgiving being a big theme, but the Halloween and autumn foliage designs  are great.

Rifle Paper Co

I have previously posted about the joyful products from Rifle Paper Co here. I was recently reading Paper Crave and noticed that Rifle have come up with some more glorious card designs including this Birthday Candles Card.

I am also in awe of these Girlie Dog Cards set, they are so adorable that I wouldn't want to send them to anyone else and just keep them for myself.

There Assorted Hello Cards are also great, the monochrome and gold work exceptionally well. These are the kind of designs that inspire me and I wish I just had more time to create more myself.

The Gold Floral Thank You Card is a tropical treat, it makes you think of far flung exotic places, instead I'm sitting watching the rain pelt down in England. Oh Well, I can dream!

Moo Business Cards

I was talking to an illustrator friend recently and she showed me these fantastic mini business cards she had had printed through Moo. They are half the size of a traditional business card and all the more cute for it! They have a wonderful array of ready made cards or you can submit your own design for them to print at very reasonable prices. You can even have a mix of as many designs as you like so each card is unique. That would make a nice personal touch or you could even do as Nicole of Red Berry Hill has done and use them as product labels.

I particularly like the Fabulous Florals ready made pack, I am quite tempted to get some for myself. They also print regular sized business cards, postcards, greetings cards, stickers and labels. 

Skull and Cross Buns

While looking through Not on the high street for pressie ideas, I came across Emily of Skull and Cross Buns who produces fantastic hand carved rubber stamps. They are all made to order and involve quirky images not usually found in your run of the mill craft shops. My favourites are the Little Caravan of Love, Mini Bunting, Mini Moustaches and the simple but adorable Retro Love Stamp.

Why not take a look for yourself and let me know which are your favourites!

New Products at Papermash

Papermash, one of my favourite online stationery retailers, has had some new additions. I realise it's a bit sad but I absolutely love this heart hole punch, it not only makes your filing look pretty it also creates heart confetti, I love products with a dual purpose. Their new selection of tapes are also wonderful with anything from Squirrels in trees, the Alphabet or Manhattan Subway Maps on. The Party Banners are also pretty cool, great for a grown up party. I'm off to Paris in a couple of weeks to celebrate my third wedding anniversary, and instead of buying the usual mundane postcards while I'm out there, I'm very tempted to send these great Paris Polaroid Postcards. Trés Chic!

Super cute Grocery list notepad

Was recently looking at PaperCrave and saw a post about these lovely grocery list notepads by Inklosures, a paper goods company based in Richmond, Virginia.  Any product that makes the mundane everyday tasks more interesting is fine by me. These notepads have 36 lined sheets of 100% recycled paper with 9 different illustrations. They also have a magnet on the back so you can even jazz up the front of your fridge. It definitely beats rushing round trying to find a scrap of paper!

Monogrammed Stationery

I was looking through some of my fave websites and found these lovely Monogrammed Note and Calling cards from the people at Rifle Paper Co. You can completely customise your order by choosing the font and colour.

They also do these wonderful pencil note cards which can again personalised with your name and choice of colour.

These Dog Note/Calling cards are also very cute. You can choose from a Scottish Terrier, Shaggy Dog, Airedale Terrier and a Boston Terrier illustration (I think they must like Terriers, but then who doesn't). Then personalise with your name in a choice of font and colour. I very rarely send notes but I am tempted just so I've got an excuse to buy these cards.

Laser Cut Bunting

This lovely laser cut bunting is available from The Hummingbird Card Company, based in Ashby-de-la-Zouch, Leicestershire. The company began in 2007 as the creation of two friends, Sally-Ann and Suzi, who met whilst working in the fashion industry. They produce wonderfully delicate laser-cut greetings cards and wedding stationery made completely in the UK, using beautiful textured papers produced in the Lake District. This bunting is a a new line available at the end of March, just in time for when their new website launches. It comes in packs of 6 flags with a 2m length of Ivory ribbon. It would make a great decoration at weddings.

Sophie Gallo Stationery

Papercrave one of my regular blog reads wrote about Sophie Gallo who produces wonderful die-cut stationery sets. Not only do the cards have pretty die cut shapes but the envelope liners are decorated in lovely retro patterns. If you ever need any ideas on how to make your everyday stationery a bit more interesting then check out her shop.

I absolutely love the petal style folding card (3rd image down). I'm wondering if once I get my silhouette machine I can produce stuff like this. I feel another project coming on!

Paper + Craft

The Paper + Craft book has been created by married creative team Minhee & Truman Cho. I found a link to their website Paper Cup Design through one of my favourite blogs Decor8. They produce wonderful stationery, journals and personalised invitations from their New York based studio, check out their blog. This fantastic book contains 25 DIY projects with paper including how to make giant flowers, cone wreaths, keepsake boxes and many more things to keep idle hands occupied. Personally I love little projects like these, it's always good to have something to do on a rainy Saturday afternoon.

Wedding Inspiration

I am currently in the process of designing my best friend's wedding invites and have been trawling the world wide web for inspiration. I came across some websites that are just too good not to share. So if you happen to be planning a wedding take a look at these. Oh So Beautiful Paper is an invitation design website created by Nole in Washington DC, catering for people who want something slightly different and quirky to send to their guests.

The people who brought us Anthropologie have created a wedding site BHLDN which includes stunning gowns, bridesmaid dresses, jewellery, shoes and everything else you might need for your big day. If your budget won't stretch to some of the wonderful things on this site the photography should be inspiration enough. There are some wonderful colour combinations used.
