Valentines Week No. 3 “A. Favorite”

papergirlpdx — Mon, 23 Jan 2012 21:05:07 +0000

A. Favorite Letterpress cards are here for those who don’t love to love “the love” holiday… if you are like some, and think “valentine’s Schmalentine’s” – we have a card for you! (look left). However, you may also find that one or more capture your heart and make you think of someone special. (wink) These letterpress cards aren’t run of the mill. Funny. Simple. Blank inside.

From me to you – Janiece

With Valentine’s Day rounding the corner, ECRU is stocked full of unique cards specifically for the holiday known for secret admirers, flowers, and chocolates. It’s all about sweet, loving and at times… snarky humor here at ECRU. Or maybe, I’m just in a “special” mood. So, for this week of Valentine’s Day cards, I’ve decided to focus on one of my favorite card lines, GHOST ACADEMY. These joyful, quirky, unique and “made with love” cards, are block printed by hand. Whatmore, the recycled cardstock is milled with renewable energy – sounds to me like there’s a little sustainable love in the air. (wink) – Janiece

Pantone Color of the Year

The 2012 Pantone Color, Tangerine Tango, will make you want to get up and dance! And, why not! This “spirited reddish orange continues to provide the energy boost we need to recharge and move forward, ” according to Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute. I don’t know about you, but this sounds like the type of energy I would like to bring into the new year; especially as it’s snowing while I blog this morning here in Portland.
