Over the next few weeks I want to spend time on Tuesday talking about gift wrap ideas. Everything will be pretty simple but hopefully you'll get some fun ideas to make your packages more interesting. I am a big believer in the power of gift wrap. Real gift wrap. Complete with double sided tape &…

I went with 25 pages + a letterpressed cover. There were lots of opinions (thank you!) but ultimately, I went with what seemed to be the majority and also what I personally wanted to use. I am going to be keeping a holiday album this season. But it won't start December 1st or end on…

I am usually not a very fussy crafter – BUT, OH MAN – these cards have been fussed with to no end. The first problem was I loved last year's handmade cards which meant they were pretty tough to beat. Also, I letterpressed the words over a month ago and really struggled with how to…

I cannot even pretend this was my idea – but I wanted to share it. Paper Source hung strips of envelopes for a holiday window display and at least five people asked if they were holiday card displays. They were not orginally – but DUDE, they should be. Easy to make. Buy a package of…

I letterpressed this morning and ended up just printing a few custom orders and then gift tags. Make your own with letterpressed words : available in the shop.
