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!

Block Printed Cards

I was browsing one of my fave blogs Paper Crave and came across this post about Katharine Watson's Block Printed Cards. The designs are apparently inspired by Indian textiles and folk arts and include textiles, journals and block printed cards. Each card is individually printed using a hand-carved linoleum block and the detail she creates is amazing. You can buy her products on her etsy shop here.

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.

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.

Mibo 2011 Calendar

If you're anything like me, it takes you until now to decide on what Calendar to buy. So I was delighted when I discovered one on Mibo. You can download the design for only £2.50 and then print off 2 months per A4 Sheet (card is probably best) and then hang using a bulldog clip as below. It features wonderful stylised illustrations but crucially there is plenty of space to write those events and key appointment dates (especially birthdays as I always seem to forget them, terrible I know!).

Papermash Tape

At the moment I am into all things paper. I am in the process of making origami birds and thinking about what kind of Christmas decorations I could make . I particularly love Japanese papers and tapes as shown below from Papermash. This fantastic selection of masking tapes makes for many crafting opportunities, and from £5.95 for 2 rolls it is a fairly inexpensive way of jazzing up notebooks or giftwrap.
