Creative Clients

We have the pleasure of meeting and working with wonderful client and shop owners all over the world.  The creative and inventive uses they find for our products never cease to amaze our staff.  On occasion, we receive emails from our contacts showcasing the amazing ways they have integrated our paper and ribbon into their displays, and sometimes even into their wardrobe.

Lila Bulis of Lila’s Scrapbooking sent these photos of her lovely display of our handmade papers.

Lila’s is located in Everett, and she currently carries single sheets and cards, pressed flowers, silk ribbon and eco-twist from our line.   Her store is a great resource for crafting and scrapbooking aficionados.

A recent customer used our build green ribbon to dress up a hat for her son’s upcoming nuptials.  We were both impressed and delighted by her stylish use of the ribbon.  “I used the ribbon on the brim and also as a kind of hatband round the scarf, which goes through slots at the side of the crown so that you can tie your hat on in a high wind”.   Lovely work, Ceri!  Thank you for the inspiration!

Custom Hand Dyed Silk Ribbon – Logo and Branding for Business

Hand dyed silk ribbon - custom color

We are happy to display our newest hand dyed silk ribbon colors!  Just in time for spring we came up with this set of three colors pulled from our original watercolor art work.  The watercolor work was done to showcase the flowers that sprout from our seed paper; look for the art to grace our new product tags.  Using the flowers as inspiration our colorist made these three new blends to welcome spring and our new business branding.  We have had the pleasure of custom dyeing silk to match corporate colors, bridesmaids dresses, home decor, stationery and new product launches.  We would love to work with you on your next project.  With a low minimum requirement (just three spools) it is easy to have just the right look for your newest designs.

Available in five widths and two finishes our hand dyed silk line is the largest and most flexible in the country.  Nowhere else can you find such talented craftsmen and women working to produce hand dyed silk goods in small runs such as ours.  We are proud of our efforts to not only produce beautiful works but also to do so in an environmentally focused manner.

Let us know how we can help make your design ideas a reality.

We just added new photos of our latest product to help in this economic recovery. Our seed paper DIY kits are prepared with a cut edge finish to save on the hand tearing labor common to our other invitation styles. We also have included felt finish recycled paper invitation envelopes in place of our more expensive seed paper envelopes. This swap has brought the cost of these invitations down do just $1.00 for a fully do it yourself print at home Eco-friendly marvel. The kits are sold in packs of 25 for $25 and can ship with first class mail to you for about $4. Each invitation is meant to be printed at home using an inkjet or laser machine one piece at a time through the envelope feed mechanism. The envelopes have a great raised texture and pair nicely with the handmade stock. There are five colors to pick from. The colored sheets are all dyed with earth friendly vegetable dyes and are ironically named after trees (as they are entirely tree free).

We make these kits in our Seattle paper studio and ship them worldwide, typically within 24 hours. The paper twine used to hold the pieces together can be swapped out for different colors to create more combinations than we show here: http://www.earthinvitations.com/

Our papers contain a blend of wildflower seeds which include varieties that grow in all the growing regions in the US.  Read more at www.flowerseedpaper.com
