Pretty Printing

Pretty Printing was created by Constance Luca Feiner in 2003. Since then, she has been applying her simple, yet chic, approach to stationery, invitations, announcements, and gift stickers for children and adults. For those who have recently welcomed a baby boy or baby girl into their lives, there's plenty of announcement designs to choose from. I love that Constance offers stationery for children, because I believe it's important for kids to learn to write letters & thank you notes. Of course, she also has a nice collection of stylish stationery for adults. And the personalized note pads and return address labels make fantastic gifts for just about anyone.

Shades of Violet

Shades of Violet, a wonderful card company, recently released many new designs for 2009. The card designs are focused on happy, fun imagery like the new circus themed birthday line which is sophisticated enough for adults, but fun enough for the younger crowd. Valentine's Day is right around the corner and the Chester Crab card is perfect for your honey. Shades of Violet offers wonderful designs for many special occasions, including anniversaries and baby showers. The best part is you can rest assured that this company is one that is green, using a printer who uses FSC certified papers, soy based inks, and powers their entire plant on wind and water power.
