The write vegetable — cards.

June 25, 2008 · 2 Comments

There hasn’t been a mention of spiffy stationary in quite some time. So, I’m bringing it back, with my new favorite, Saturate design. Now go on, and try to tell me you don’t wanna send grandma a veggie-themed card. You should anyway, she’d be absolutely smitten.

Still need a Father’s Day gift from the little ones?

June 10, 2008 · No Comments

I don’t have kids. In fact, I probably never will, it’s just not something that interests me. But, I do know lots of people who do have little ones, and if you fall into that category, might I suggest a lovely Father’s Day gift for you?

Now admittedly, this is a shameless family plug: my cousin’s wife, Teri Weidner, is a children’s book illustrator, and her newest project, “Say Daddy!,” is out just in time for Father’s Day. Although, if you want to get the real scoop on the book, check out what my cousin, Chris Dahlen, had to say about it. He does justice to her craft much better than I.

Write a letter!

January 24, 2008 · No Comments

Email is so passé. Why not send a letter? Use these stamps, and you can even customize your paper! Now break out that pen and send a nice note to grandma.

2008 Calendars

January 18, 2008 · No Comments

It’s the first month of 2008 and you didn’t receive a calendar during the holiday season — neither did I. If you’re still in search of the perfect calendar to fill that empty space on your wall I am here to offer a  solution.
 
In place of that 50% off 365 Kittens calendar you settled for at Border’s, why not give Nikki McClure’s Things To Do And Make 2008  Wall Calendar a go.

It’s a great alternative to your run-of-the-mill animal calendar. The striking, narrative illustrations and “verb-of-the-month” inspire even the most lethargic souls to get moving! 
 
Each illustration is an original papercut printed on acid free paper with soy ink.
