new: black pearl press stationery


i have a real weakness for envelope liners. the other day a friend and i were browsing a local card shop and they sold standard-size liners on their own and it made me want to buy up dozens of them to stamp with custom patterns and insert into regular letters i send. but considering that so many projects i want to do end up not getting done (i must have pages and pages of project ideas i want to do “when i have free time”) i think i might pick up these beautiful new designs from elisabeth at black pearl press instead. she’s launched a beautiful range of stationery in 6 styles to choose from- each one prettier than the next. click here to shop the collection and take advantage of elisabeth’s 25% discount through january 31st. i think i might have to get a set for d*s and see if i can write it off as a business expense. hmmmm…

I’m excited to see the postage stamps included in these photos! It’s wonderful that people are increasingly recognizing that postage can greatly enhance the message of their stationary. It is also the product I am most passionate about in my own business! Nice liners too : )

Lovely. I now covet.

You know, I was never into liners (or really even aware of them) until this site. I blame YOU! :P

Ooooh, I didn’t have a thing for envelope liners until now. The ones you featured are absolutely lovely… I agree with Treehouse Collective, the stamps are just as lovely!

Love these! I haven’t been to Black Pearl Press in a while, so it’s great to see some of the updates to draw me back! Thanks for posting :)

In 2005, Elisabeth at Black Pearl Press created our wedding party invitations (the envelopes were lined). They were beautiful, and we received many compliments. In addition to her creative talents, she was wonderful to work with, and I’m looking forward to seeing the rest of her new collection.

I adore envelope liners and insist on them whenever possible. As a former Paper Source employee and now devoted customer, I purchased a pack of envelope liner templates from there years ago and still use them religiously. One pack came with a template for every size envelope they make, some of them standard and some unique to Paper Source.

Include me into the envelope liner obsessed group as well. They are such a great little addition that makes such a big aesthetic difference. I like the fish ones the best, it’s so playful!

I was just looking at these yesterday. They really are lovely, and I love the crisp and soothing photos too. I only recently learned about Black Pearl through her collaboration with Rifferaff … can’t wait to see what she adds to the cards section of her site.

I have some of her custom stationery and it is like little works of art, so wonderful and so worth it!

These are beautiful. The Black Pearl website could be a dangerous place for me!
