Envelope Liners: You betcha there is going to be a tutorial on how to make your own envelope liners soon. I'm downright obsessed. They add such a unique pop of color, texture, and pattern to envelopes and they are so much easier to put together than I ever thought. I used to think envelopes just were boring by default and a colored envelope was as interesting as it could get. Wrong.
Bold Color Choices: Totally in love with the way that this designer utilized bold color choices and geometry to make this brochure pop. It makes me actually want to read this (perhaps boring) brochure. Brochures are usually boring, right? And this is making me want to throw together some design where I can have a bright page corner. That's when you know I love something.
Doodles: I've never really been a big doodler. Things have changed though. Oh, how things have changed. Scanning these cute little graphics in and throwing them on some text can create some gorgeous things that look like they took a lot more effort than they actually did.
Andy Gilmore Prints: Obsessed with this man's use of color. It reminds me of a quilt. And the fact that I'm sitting on a quilt right now outta tell you that I love quilts. Whenever I need a fun, inspiring color palette to go off of, he is one of my go-to people.
Geometry: I just think these match boxes are the cutest things. I may even buy these if they were sold in a store... and I would frankly have zero use in using matches (other than for candles, c'mon). I love the way that they play off the colors and patterns in one another, yet they are all so distinctly different. Love that.
Vintage Postage: I work at a lovely letterpress studio that does the most incredible envelopes with vintage postage. This concept is totally not as well known as it should be. If your budget could make room for these, there is truly not many things that can make an envelope look so good.
