Whisker Graphics

My fantasy job is to design paper goods (stationery, invites, labels etc) all day long. But since filling orders, shipping, bookkeeping etc. takes up most of my work day I don’t get to do much designing anymore. (I’m not complaining. I appreciate each and every person who has ordered from Whisker Graphics. Truly I do! ) But when it was one of my best pals birthday last month, some new designs were in order. Denise requested stationery for her gift and here’s what I created for her.

I am forever trying to think up new ideas for the bakers twine. Here’s one I came up with for our holiday card this year. I was inspired by the sewing/lacing cards I played with as a kid.

Card as recipient received it.

I punched all the holes with this.

Back of card. Taped twine down with japanese masking tape.

Label reads: part craft ~  part puzzle  ~  all holiday cheer. I gave a url with a photo of the photo below.

Finished card.

Our new neighbors had a baby. Charlie. I made a little something for him and big sister Molly.

Book Plates for baby Charlie's library.

Some stationery of her own for 4-year-old Molly.

Of course I couldn’t resist using some bakers twine for wrapping.

Book plates wrapped in glassine envelope.

Stationery wrapped with a handmade pom pom.
