I wanted to take a minute to share one of my very favorite company’s newest offerings: Minted now has business cards! I truly think everything Minted does is so high quality and stylish, and I will definitely be taking advantage of their 25 free offer! Now, to decide which design… a few favorites:

Even if you don’t have your own business, you could so easily use these as a modern calling card. BUT, if you do have your own business, there’s one more amazing feature of Minted’s cards — you can upload your logo for FREE to print on the back of your cards!! Amazing.

I’ll be sure to share once mine come in, but in the meantime, hop over and get your own! If you do, tell me which design you’re ordering! Opinions on which one I should order are welcome, too :)

P.S. I love Minted so much we’re considering using them for our save the dates, but that’s a post for another day!

Hello, friends! I am so sorry for the radio silence of late! I was in Connecticut this past weekend celebrating my sister’s graduation from college, and then took the train into New York City yesterday to tour the National Stationery Show! I saw tons of pretty paper and met so many kind and talented designers. I wanted to share a little something here to tide you over until regular posts return!

I loved Rifle Paper Co’s numerous new products, including a 2012 calendar similar to this citrus fruit print.

Printerette was another favorite — their cards were so cute! Plus, they’re based in St. Paul, like one of my sisters, so we had an instant connection. Jam cards here, confetti invite here.

Very snappy stuff from Fig. 2 Design Studio. It was her first year at the show, and her blog posts leading up to it really show how much work goes into exhibiting! I also loved her cards, though those haven’t debuted on her site.

Lastly, I was thrilled to stop by Linda & Harriet — always a favorite of mine. They debuted the coolest oversize watercolor calendar for 2012. Considering I just bought this birthday calendar for my Mom for Mother’s Day, I was a fan.

More soon!

As orders from my Etsy store have been picking up, I figured it was about time to step up my packaging (hence my 101 goal!). Nothing too fancy, just an address and return address label with consistent fonts and my little peach, so customers would know they were getting something special. Here’s what I came up with:

So, if you were to order drink stirrers, cupcake flags, or moving announcements, your package might look like this! Speaking of drink stirrers, I’ve been making a LOT of them lately, and it’s always so fun to see what colors people are looking for! Here’s a sampling of the orders I’ve filled over the past few weeks:

Quite the rainbow! If you’re interested in ordering your own drink stirrers/food picks, just send me a convo!

Wanted to share my 2011 valentine offering with y’all! It’s become kind of a tradition to make a new “punny” card every year for friends and family and the P&P Etsy shop. First there was “Olive you:”

Last year it was “I love ewe!”

This year, it’s “Love you tons.”

Hope you think I’m as funny as I think I am :) All three designs are still available, and you can purchase a single card here or a set of six (at a discount) here!
