I’ve gotten to know some fabulous people doing this blog, and Fiona Richards from Cartolina Cards is one of them.

She’s just come out with a new selection of cards and they’re stunning, of course! The two above are just some of the luscious patterns and event themes available.

The cards are all printed on recycled FSC certified paper (Forest Stewardship Council) with vegetable-based inks at an environmentally friendly printing plant. Gotta love the work Fiona’s doing! P.S. Check her out on Twitter at @Fionacartolina

Could these notebooks by Cartolina be any more appealing? I wrote a couple of posts back that I can’t get enough of stationery and these just feed into that addiction with their fantastically exotic graphics reminiscent of lushly coloured botanical studies.

The notebooks are designed by Fiona Richards out in British Columbia. She spent her childhood with her grandparents in Scotland, surrounded by images of their travels as textile dealers in India, and also was influenced by her uncle’s work as an illustrator.

They’re 100% recycled, measure 4″ by 6″ and come in nine different patterns that are printed using vegetable ink. I love the blue ones pictured above, but also couldn’t resist the red-tone ones, so included the pic of them below.

Price: $4 each, or $12 for a bundle of 3

FYI: Cartolina also does birthday, thank you and various holiday cards that you can find at www.greetq.com, a U.S. company. You can not only buy a card from them, but have them send it to the recipient, with a personalized message in either the font of your choice or handwritten by a member of the GreetQ staff! How’s that for service when you’re pressed for time? I’m impressed!
