I’ve been working on a new addition to the Etsy shop recently and I’m thrilled to be able to share with all of you! I wanted to create a unique Save The Date card based off of a matchbook. The covers are letterpressed in gold metallic ink onto light blue, pink or green stock. Inside, are custom magnets that are perforated at the bottom so they can be torn off and saved on a refrigerator.

I am so excited with how these turned out and have definitely been inspired by lace and spring colors! You can check out the new Save The Dates here – hope you like them!

It’s a little past calendar season but I happened upon this embroidered one via the Behance Network and was blown away! What a clever idea and equally beautiful in execution.

This one-off design was created by design student Iwona Przybyla from Poland. All her work is quite impressive and I wish that I could read Polish so that I could follow along on her blog. Definitely worth checking out either way, full of fantastic inspiration!

I admittidely buy products based on packaging. As a designer, I can’t help it. All the bottles in my shower have to match even down to the bar of soap! Maybe that’s a little more OCD than designer but I like to to call it “coordinating”. Either way, I’m constantly on a look out for pretty pieces.

Unfortunetly Bloom Organics isn’t available in the states but I can still appreciate the lovely packaging! Designed by Mahon & Band in Australia, the use of botanical illustrations is striking but appropriately elegant and refined for a beauty product line. I particularly love the added twine detail to the soaps!

I stumbled upon this set of illustrated letters on Flickr and fell in love! These were designed by Dustin Wallace for his new son, Asher. Each was printed onto canvas and wrapped around a wood frame. I adore that each letter has an added illustration; A for Ant, S for Squirrel, H for Hare, E for Earthworm and R for Robin. Such a brilliant idea and a special gift to a wee one!

Today’s Well Branded comes from Fbdi in Buenos Aires. Created for a local speakeasy named Frank’s, it just screams prohibition to me. I really like the roughness of the design, from the cropped logo to the blind embossed “FRANK’S”, every element is on message. While usually hard to pull off, I also think the distressed serif  is a nice touch.
