Joy’s Nantaka Joy e-commerce site is now live and it’s so gorgeous. Love the product photography and, of course, the products themselves! So far on my wishlist? The I Love… Notebook and the Metallic Card Sampler. Congrats, Joy!

Spied Alisha’s work from Palindrome Press on Brooklyn Bride and had to post… The work is so unlike most studios… and it’s totally amazing. Chelsea & Ben’s invite above is my favorite. See Palindrome Press’ Etsy shop here. Please also note that Alisha is offering a 15% discount on custom orders placed this month.

Gorgeous work at Two Paperdolls. I particularly love how they show lots of elements from the weddings such as calligraphed place cards and designed drink coasters.

Rebecca of Moontree Press is over at the Design*Sponge guest blog talking about The Handmade Wedding for the next two weeks. She’s got two posts up already and both are chock full of fantastic and creative ideas. Be sure to keep reading all week. Please also be sure to check out her own blog which showcases the amazing letterpress work she does.

Melanie Carter from Lucky Paperie sent me a sweet email today to share her letterpress studio. Lovely work, great color sense and typography. I loved the variety of styles she shows. See the invitation portfolio here.

Yes, late in the game, I know. I’ve seen these cards advertised on Flickr for the longest but have never actually seen one in person. I was at a great gathering tonight and got a few of these calling cards from some great people I met and was very impressed by the quality of printing and paper stock. Nice hefty stock with a yum satin finish. These cards are done by a company called Moo and work seamlessly with your Flickr account. Order in batches of 100 and recieve cards with images from your own Flickr stream, cropped however you like to fit these skinny-mini calling cards. (You can order 100 cards each with a different image on them… or 100 cards with just one image. Sweet!) The other side can be personalized with up to six lines of text. See what others have done with their Moo cards. I already ordered a set. This could get addicting.

Hope you’re having a lovely Valentine’s Day… We’re totally buried in snow/sleet/hail/rain in New York. (Well, a few inches isn’t exactly buried but for a pedestrian city it’s pretty nightmarish. Says the girl who went to school in Buffalo. Yeah.)

Absolutely loved the work at Charming Gardener. Gorgeous typography and imagery. Loved all the letterpress work for occasions and identity. The attention to detail is exquisite.

Such pretty wedding invitations from One Blossom incorporating a wide variety of botanical motifs. Some very striking color combinations… also am loving how each piece of the package above fits into the overall theme without being too matchy-matchy.

New journals from Five and a Half… this new collection is made from sugarcane fiber and postconsumer paper. Love the illustrations that adorn these, the muted color is stunning as well. Also available is a limited-edition journal featuring a photograph of Martin Luther King Jr. to commemorate the upcoming 40th anniversary of his assassination.

Loved these cards from Sub Studio featuring fish on wavy backgrounds. Each card is silkscreened and individually packaged.

I got my 2007 calendar from Ilee in the mail yesterday and let me tell you… I knew it was going to be gorgeous but it seriously exceeded my expectations. The papers are amazing as is the printing and color. The handpainted bits are so well done. In all it’s a wonderful piece. It’s still listed at the Etsy store so get yours before they run out.
