Folded :: The Origami Collection :: The Final Products

and here are the final products… (see “in the making” post here!)

The pop up card — the moment of the truth….

yay! The flower blooms! :)

I love the surprise when you open the card — there are spaces for your personal message, too :)

and the paper flowers — the cotton papers gives really nice texture and quality. I love how it came out!

I’m thinking of attaching either magnet or push pin… or double-side tape for present wrapping…

and this is the bigger flowers — perfect for a special present wrapping :)

It was so fun creating! Thank you so much, Jack + Jenn and Jody from Brin & Nohl!! Make sure to check out their final products, too!!

p.s Jack + Jenn and Jody, you guys will receive different flowers — it’ll be a surprise! :)

Sunny Deelight Vintage Plates

How about pretty vintage plates today? These sunny deelight vintage plates from Ameelia Bedelia’s Vintage Deelights are making me happy this morning :) Love the yellow color and the pattern.

I really want to try hanging plates in our new apartment since we’ll have our first dining area ever! I will be watching this tutorial over and over and see if I can make it pretty like that… wish me luck!

OK, off to letterpress studio… have a great day, everyone! See you tomorrow…

Green Flowers

Found these small beautiful green flowers when I was walking with Maia. Aren’t they so lovely? I don’t know the name of the flowers (do you?), but it sure stopped me and made me look.

Happy Friday! (We have a little guest this week… :))

Ikebana Competition in Kyoto

I felt so lucky to be able to stop by Kyoto again last month (it is one of my favorite cities in the world) but not only that, I happened to pass by these awesome Ikebana competition that was held inside of and in front of Kyoto station (this stations is gorrrrrgeous!) — I was blown away!

These are BIG, too, and it was beautiful with spot lights in the dark.

It really is an art, right?! Each piece is just so amazing and really original. There were more, I wish I could have taken pictures of all… but I hope you see the greatness and that you enjoy these :)

Tuesday morning inspiration! Have a great day — I will be printing all afternoon!
