Love It Stationery Set by Mr. Boddington’s Studio
… red and blue! The Love It notecard featured above is the perfect pairing of my current color obsession. The stationery set by Mr. Boddington’s Studio includes 12 flat matte cards on heavy eggshell stock paired with eggshell envelopes hand-lined with not one, but two, patterns. I’m looking forward to writing my next batch of thank you notes in style!
double the fun with two liner options
White foil is a great way to get opaque white on colored paper
Monday:
Sweet Paper had the pleasure of working with one very creative groom, whose final invitation design left our jaws dropped. Letterpress and white foil printed by Spark, this very custom wedding suite was… well.. pretty sweet. Shades of grey blended seamlessly with white foil, while orange edge painting, reply card and envelope liner brought in great color.
now if only I could convince my friends that I actually baked a cake
Tuesday:
We love the hand illustrations from Mr. Boddington’s Studio and gladly stocked our shelves with more birthday, wedding and baby cards from the creative line. I could think of more than a few people that would find this birthday card relevant.
I’ll need to clear my afternoon for this inspiring read
Wednesday:

pick a color, any color
Thursday:
It’s official! Sweet Paper now has just about any color twine you could hope to find. From red, reddish pink and pink to green, greenish blue and blue, we’ve got the rainbow covered. “What about the pot of gold at the end?” you might be asking. A spool of copper shine should suffice, and we have that too.
Great for Mother’s Day!

set the tone for your bachelorette party with custom designed invitations
When Exquisite Weddings Magazine asked us to style a Bachelorette Weekend photo shoot at the Surf and Sand Resort in Laguna Beach we jumped at the chance! How can you say no to that?!! We called our girl Ashley Elizabeth to get on board and away we went.
The ever so talented Sara France captured all the details of the day perfectly!

handwritten perfection!
Monday:
It is not uncommon for our chic brides to request our go-to calligrapher Wendy Ware to match the fonts on their invitation. But what to do when the design of the invitation is based on using different type styles? Match all of them of course! Wendy did such a great job using different calligraphy styles on the addresses, we are so glad she made us our own sample to keep!
this combination of dots and dashes spells out “friend”
Tuesday:
Our Morse Code necklace order from Coatt received an upgrade this time around. These delicate dotted and dashed beauties are now strung on a gold chain. Sweetheart, sister, friend and carpe diem are some styles now available at Sweet Paper, but don’t forget you can customize your own secret message!
you shouldn’t have, but I’m glad you did
Wednesday:
This shipment from Haute Papier was so bright, we had to wear shades! The bright ink makes these neon notes an extra fun mode of correspondence. I’m partial to the fluorescent orange thank you notes printed with zebras… a wild way to use stripes!
matches included!
Thursday:
We have new yummy scents in for summer from Linnea’s Lights! New to the clean burning soy candle line is Grapefruit. It’s my personal favorite because it is crisp and citrusy without being too sweet. Oceans and Sea Salt are also back by popular demand, both are perfect fragrances for sea side living.

cool mint, hot pink
Monday:
I love everything about this letterpress wedding announcement by Bella Figura. Mint is my favorite color (this week) and this cool hue is the perfect shade. Although simple, the layout is not short on details that add a fun element to the announcement. Hot pink edge painting is the perfect finish.

wet your whistle!
Friday:
Equally as handy as the Ted Baker stylus/pen, is this two-in-one, flask & measuring cup from Gentlemen’s Hardware. The 8oz stainless steel flask has a measuring cup hidden in the leather detail reading “wet your whistle”. Conventional and convenient!
