The romantic Correspondence Lavender Flat Wax Seal Stationery Set comes with self-adhesive wax seals that add a vintage flair. The set includes six high quality letterpress note cards and envelopes to elevate your correspondence.
Die Cut
Say oui to playful original illustrations made by French hands in the USA! The whimsical French Collection Boxed Note Cards Set includes French style die cut greeting cards, a bottle of Champagne, cheese, and a croissant so appetizing you’ll want to take a bite. The cards are also sustainably produced on18pt coated card stock for good feeling greetings.
Inspiring Artwork
The Japanese Shibori Notecards Stationery Set is beautiful on the outside and blank on the inside to convey a heartfelt message for any occasion. Shibori is a hand-dyeing technique from Japan that typically involves folding, twisting or bunching cloth to create a unique pattern. Think of it as an ancient form of tie-dye! This stationery set includes 16 cards, all with unique designs.
Connecting Generations
The Life Notes Writing Kit includes a set of 20 letters, with each note offering a thoughtful way to pass down memories and meaning to the next generation. This unique set has themed prompts for you to write a meaningful note and share your thoughts and wishes with your child. When you're done, you'll create a treasure trove of wisdom filled with life experiences and love.
Custom Stationery
Exclusive designs make for a one-of-a-kind option! Explore the stationery sets from our Ink on Paper Source artists, a collaborative collection from independent artists who inspire us. Ink on Paper Source exemplifies our love for original design and the tactile creative expressions that connect us. We believe the moment the ink touches the paper is the start of something beautiful.
