New! | A7 Patterned Envelope Liners

We've rounded up our most popular patterns and turned them into envelope liners! We're thrilled to finally be able to provide these for all of our DIY-ers. While you can cut them yourself from any patterned paper...we've saved you a step and precision cut them for you!

Pop over to the shop to pick up some for yourself! They're easy to install into an A7 Paper Source envelope, simply with double sided tape or stick glue.

Inspired Letterpress | Vintage Filigree Frame Invitation Suite

We're in love with this version of our Filigree Frame Letterpress Invitation Suite that we designed recently for one of our fantastic clients. One great feature of this suite is it's adaptability, which is why this suite looks so very different from the one in our shop! 

The bride selected a gorgeous color combo of Navy & Slate and decided on our traditional calligraphy style to keep it all looking classic. We added the blue stripe watercolor paper from our shop to tie it all together! Love so much.

DIY Rubber Stamp Tutorial | Patterned Thank You Notes

Last week, we shared our Butterfly Handkerchief Invitation Suite tutorial over on Oh So Beautiful Paper. Today, we're following up and sharing a super simple coordinating piece, patterned Thank You notes.

Step One: Using a self healing mat, craft knife and metal ruler, cut your card-stock (we used our Chloe Yellow Floral Patterned Paper) into 4.5"x7" pieces. You should get 2 folded notes per 8.5"x11" sheet.

Step Two: Score in the center of the card along the 7" side (so at 3.5") using a scoreboard. Fold the card at the score mark.

Step Three: If you choose, stamp your monogram or thank you right on top of the pattern. We used our Seal Thank You stamp for this card. 

*Note: From our experience, it is best to use a stamp that has lots of bold lettering or "black areas" when stamping on top of a pattern. If the stamp doesn't stand out, it can get lost in the colorful pattern!

Materials:

Chloe Yellow Floral Patterned Paper
Self  Healing Mat/ Craft Knife/ Ruler
Scoreboard
Monogram or Thank You Stamp
Stamp Pad-in Black
4 Bar Envelopes

DIY Tutorial | Rubber Stamped Butterfly Handkerchief Invitation Suite

Our latest DIY tutorial project over on Oh So Beautiful Paper is a gorgeous invitation suite that includes vintage handkerchiefs and butterfly imagery. We are in love with the color and the softness the handkerchiefs bring to the design.

We'll be sharing the details of how to make that adorable thank you card (at the top of the image above), next Thursday...right here on our blog!

Gorgeous calligraphy in black on kraft really helps tie the suite together. How much do you love that we found butterfly postage to coordinate? Swooning.

There isn't anything lovelier than a pile of vintage handkerchiefs. We've collected these over the years on our vintage shopping adventures.
