We Make You Smile
As paper and stationery lovers, these pantone palettes will be something we can't live without. From washi paper, glitter, sprinkles, holographic, confetti. Simply fun! Thank you Maria Marie for these wonderful pantone shots that are perfect compliments to any paper projects. Just like add-ons we need for any ice cream sundae. Sweet.
Animated cocktail recipes, made with paper by Yell Designs in Melbourne, Australia.
Simply heavenly. We love how they have created cocktail recipes using various paper props combined with animation and how they described the use of paper for making cocktails, in this project website titled, PaperMeal "If we can make it out of paper, you can make it out of booze."
Who loves carrots? We do. We have included carrots in our Sunday Roast Pencils. On the 4th April, it's International Carrot Day #InternationalCarrotDay. We are glad to have stumbled upon the World Carrot Museum. It is a virtual museum that has pretty much all the information on carrots, from shapes, sizes, colour, A to Z on the different varieties and even a fine art page on carrots. The fine art page include works of René Magritte and Henri Matisse.
Our favourite part of the museum apart from from the A to Z of the different varieties of carrots is that it has a floor plan to help navigate around the museum. Every room is a link to a different section of the website. We particularly love the name of the room "Vitamin A" and "Wild Carrot". For recipes, you can just click on "Carrot Cafe" on the map. Hooray for Carrots!
How would recipes instructions look like if they were Ikea instructions? Food magazine, Delish has illustrated a fun spoof series of recipes including how to make french macarons, deep fried turkey, gingerbread house, beer-can chicken, apple pie and even a watermelon keg that just follows the Ikea instructions blueprint called "If Recipes Were Ikea Instructions". Bon appétit!
Becca + Lewis : The truly Awesome duo behind The Clever Badger
It's our honor to have the cutest catch up with our stockist and collaborator : The Clever Badger an online gifts and greeting cards company supporting independent designers. You will never run out of fun, goof, laughter and warmness with this adorable couple : Becca and Lewis , the duo behind the brand and the brains behind the pencils which we collaborated with for The Clever Badger Boxes including "I NEED COFFEE", "FUDGE OFF" and "I HATE MONDAYS".
Beyond the giggles, we explored a long admirable trait that we loved about The Clever Badger - running a business together as a couple. And then of course ... fun ... carpool karaoke ... sarnies ... upcoming trends... so read on.
Becca : We had the concept of a design gift shop first and the name came second. We spent many afternoons trying to concoct the perfect name, I remembered Lewis thinking of a really good suggestion ( for the life of me, I can't remember what this was ) and so I rubbed his chin and called him a clever badger ! Cringey pet names are a big thing in this household I'm afraid.
Becca : Our top 3 tips are :
Becca : Fish finger sandwiches with mayo have to be my favourite!
Lewis : Roast beef & onion baguette!
Becca + Lewis : We do believe the pin and patch trend will carry on going. It really seems as if it's here to stay for 2017. Another big trend is the hygge way of living, any accessories or lifestyle gifts the encompass the relaxing nature of the Danish living style will be key for Christmas.
Lewis : Dolly Parton (any song) or Majestic by Wax Fang
Becca : Anything Abba related or KISS! I think we might have the weirdest taste in music ever…
Becca : Rainbows! I’m a colour magpie
Lewis : Fries !
Lewis : I am the master of my fate, I am the captain of my soul
Becca : Not today Satan! (You can tell who the intellectual is) haha ...
