Inspiration Board: End of Summer, Beginning of Fall Figs

The figs are falling off of Elizabeth’s tree faster than she can take them off! This inspired today’s inspiration board as we’re gearing up for Fall here in California, but summer temperatures are still at a high. Passion-filled plum-colored peonies with a rustic barn feel, perfect if the temperatures decide to get colder, or even hotter.
This board was created on Style Me Pretty’s new site for brides & wedding aficionados, the Style Circle. I usually create my own, but wanted to try this service out so that we can give a shout out to how fantastic it is. Even a few of Sugarcube’s invitations have ended up in the graces…
We’re a member of the Style Circle…Sugarcube Press and we’re excited to announce we have been invited to join the Little Black Book from Style Me Pretty. We’ll be completing our paperwork in October. But, in the meantime, it’s never too early to start your invitations!


Owl Crumbs

Cutsey owls for our DIY collage cards called “crumbs”; it’s all made from small scrap paper that would otherwise be tossed, not big enough for invitations but it’s the perfect size for collage pieces.

All packed up

All packed up and ready to head home to California! Elizabeth has already started printing more stock for the orders…the big sellers…our new “buck up, it’s your birthday” card with a buck donning a orange party hat, our hippo with a frilly party hat that says “one piece won’t hurt”, and our new bird bookplates! So sweet to meet up with old and new friends…great lakes, enormous champion, tiselle, ilee paper goods, night owl paper goods, mean cards, set, hammerpress, egg press, oblation, pearl & marmalade, two piglets, albertine press (and baby sadie), and a zillion others!!! All of the creatives that make our industry so great…thank you for putting yourselves out there. Xoxoxo k & e
