Susie Ghahremani is the incredibly talented illustrator behind Boygirlparty who recently expanded her web presence with the Shop at Boygirlparty.com. Not only am I impressed with her continually growing abilities, but also with her papergoods. How much fun are her recipe cards?! Lovely job, Susie.

I have two obsessions when it comes to the holidays: colored glass ornaments and finding the perfect Christmas cards to send out. Make that three if you count trying not to kill anyone – family or not – while traveling during this most festive time of year.
Night Owl Paper Goods are close to checking one of those items off of my list. I’m loving their holiday cards and am thrilled that they released a series of wooden cards outside of their everyday collection.
In a world where there are plenty of chances to be rude and inconsiderate on a daily basis, Civilettes give us an opportunity to focus on the good for a change. These portable thank-yous are designed to fit into a purse, pocket or wallet and guaranteed to impress the recipient. Each card is aided by the “Please reuse” printed on the back urging the paying forward of the much under-used and always appreciated Thank You.
Cotton Idea Studio has opened their doors to an online shoppe. Congratulations Mindy! To celebrate CIS is offering 15% off your order until November 15th – just enter debut at checkout!
When I first saw the Fresh Style card file I thought it was a cool way to organize my ever-growing card collection. But then I saw that it actually comes with a set of twelve cards – 4 birthday, 4 thank-you and 4 sentiments – and matching envelopes and it made it that much better.
Modern Printed Matter is the Rhode Island-based brainchild of Anna Cote. MPM originally began as a “night and weekends” endeavor and quickly turned into something much more – with good reason, the girl has talent. As of May 2007 Anna has made MPM her full-time job and in September opened up an Etsy shop. Her designs are clean, modern and fun and a must check-out for anyone who loves papergoods.
My favorites are the fun cards and tags below. I’m also an admitted sucker for her 2008 Desktop Botanical Calendar that I posted about here.
Mean Cards by Julianna Holowka are fantasticly awesome.
A. Because I love anything with a stick figure.
B. Stick figures saying funny things are good.
C. This is how I feel today. I came down with a cold yesterday and it’s going to ruin my entire birthday weekend if it doesn’t get out of here real fast!
The 2008 Crackpot Calendar features a selection of awesome illustrations. Each calendar page showcases a new image – one per week from a total of fifty-six. There are two options for display – from the wall or propped on a desk. I love it because who wants to wait an entire month before changing the calendar? Lovely idea and execution.

Posted In calendars, paper goodsIf you haven’t yet seen the amazing work of Carol, Deb and Kelly at bread + butter you’re definitely missing out. Their letterpress is amazing, but I’m incredibly attracted (yes, you can be attracted to paper products) to their embossed white-on-white cards. The fronts are adorned with simple phrases such as I’m sorry and WTF which pleasingly pop off the background. Sometimes simple says it best of all.
