I've just added our Father's Day cards to The Paper Cub shop! These cards are hand-screenprinted on recycled paper and are blank inside. Fill them with your heart-felt or funny message and they will be sure to make your Father, husband, or a new dad smile.

And don't forget about Mom! Mother's Day is May 12th, but we will get your card in the mail lightning fast so you should still have time to buy one for her, too. 

If you're looking for our Mother's Day cards you can find them right over here in our new card shop, The Paper Cub Co. We've re-freshed a few designs from last year and introduced a brand new "Best Mom Ever" design complete with a lovely navy and mint palette. Moms love getting cards, and May 12th is creeping up, so go on and make her day with a hand-screenprinted card complete with your words :)

Hi folks! We've just launched a brand new series of screenprints that I'm super excited to share with you today! These geometric animal prints are 12.5" x 12.5" square and fit nicely inside standard record/LP frames. We actually got our handmade frame used in the photos from Etsy seller Signed and Numbered. They have such a nice assortment of colors, borders, and finishing styles to choose from. As with all of our screenprints, these are limited in numbers, with just 50 prints per design. They've been uniquely designed and screenprinted and would make a stylish addition to your home or nursery. You may purchase them right here in our shop or over on Etsy!

BONUS! To celebrate the launch, we are offering 15% off of these new prints! Use the code "SQUARE15" at checkout.

*This discount is good until 04/30/13 and is valid for any print in our Square Series Collection, ie. the Dog/Turtle/Fox/Owl as pictured above*

Our screenprinted tote bags are back in stock! These adorable animal bags feature a new lighter-weight cotton twill blend, yet they are still super sturdy, and the prints are bigger and bolder than ever before. They are a roomy 16" x 16" with a 4" gusseted bottom for carrying lots of things. They'd be a perfect re-useable bag for grocery stores or farmer's markets, as a beach bag, as a back to schoole tote, or just to carry as your everyday bag. You can grab them here in our shop for just $20.

I'm happy to share that we have added the ability to personalize some of the animal prints from our collection! This has been a highly requested custom item and I am pleased that we have found a way to make it happen. Simply purchase this listing here in our shop or on Etsy and leave us the following details: the name, and the animal of choice. We will send a proof prior to printing each piece. Since these are custom made for you, they are not limited edition screenprints, but rather digitally printed using high quality inks and papers. These prints would make great gifts for babies and kids or for anyone special for that matter! For more details on these prints and the animals to choose from please visit our shop. 

Happy Monday everyone! Exciting news today, we've just released a new card collection over at The Paper Cub Co. site and shop! This Birthday/Celebration collection features 16 designs, so there's a little something for everyone in there. Check out the collection below and visit our shop to purchase them as they are freshly screenprinted and ready to ship. I've also created a special listing for a 6-pc. boxed set of cards, which you can mix & match styles. I hope you'll like the new range. Let us know what you think! 

I've just added a brand new item to the shop! Just in time for Valentine's Day are these hand-screenprinted Mini Hearts Tea Towels. If you're anything like me and you find hearts appropriate for year-round use then these are the towels for you! Give them as a gift or keep them for yourself, why not? You can choose from three colors: black, red, or mint. Not sure what's the best way to use a tea towel you ask? Not only will they clean up your spills and dry your dishes, but you can also use them to cover bread, as placemat or napkins, to wrap gifts, sew them into pillows, hang up as decoration, or even frame them as art. I've even heard of parents using them as burp cloths!

I've posted a special where if you buy them as a three-pack you get a pretty sweet discount. Become our fan on Facebook to view the deal and sign up for our newsletter for future savings and promotions.

I've got some exciting news to announce today! As mentioned before we've been working away at our new sister brand, The Paper Cub Co., which will be the new home for our greeting cards and stationery-type goods. Well, today we opened up for business on Etsy with the 2013 screenprinted Valentine's Day card collection! Eventually all of our greeting cards (besides those that match back to our animal screenprints) will be under The Paper Cub and moved over to the new shop, so make note. Our e-commerce site is still in the works but you can reach the shop by simply clicking "SHOP NOW" on The Paper Cub's website. 

There will be much, much more to come to please bookmark the new site and follow along on Twitter! 

I've got some new prints to share with you all today! There has been lots of designing going on and I am very excited to start releasing some of the new screenprints we will be offering for our early 2013 collection! First up are these "Sun + Moon" screenprints, more affectionately known as "Rise and Shine" and "Sweet Dreams". I had lots of fun designing these so that the yellow ink is translucent and sits lightly on the aqua blue below but packs a bold punch. I definitely envision these prints adorning a nursery or kid's room but they'd also add a pop of color and fun to an adult's bedroom as well. Hey, the sun would even be perfect for the kitchen especially near the coffee pot! These limited edition screenprints measure 12" x 16" and fit nicely inside the medium "Ribba" frame from Ikea or the like. As a special deal, these screenprints are offered at a discount if you buy the set, saving you $10. They are available for purchase here and here in the shop or over on Etsy. 

I hope everyone is enjoying the Holidays. I can't wait to get back into my normal blogging schedule bringing you more updates and inspiration soon!

So while you were sleeping, we added a new category to the s+p collection! We've been toying with the idea of a digital prints range for some time now, and were encouraged along by many of your responses on the product surveys we've put out in the past. Our goal was to create some quality, eye-catching and stylish poster-sized designs for your home and office at an economical price point. We understand that while screenprints are extra special when it comes to process and exclusivity, many of you change out your art frequently or are perhaps looking for the ability to customize the colors in your prints (coming soon)! By no means are we abandoning screenprinting the bulk of our pieces, as a matter of fact we've got two new screenprinted series set to debut over the next couple months. We're just spicing up the assortment a bit. If you've ordered from us in the past you know our quality control levels are very high, so you can be assured we've secured the most top of the line equipment and papers for these prints. You can check out each product listing for more on the inks + papers used. We hope you'll like the new "digis", as we are affectionately referring to them, and that you'll perhaps snap a few up in our Holiday weekend sale! More details on that tomorrow if you didn't already get our newsletter.

Drum roll please....the 2012 Holiday Card and Postcard collection is now available! I had a blast designing and screenprinting these cards. I also thought I'd add in the option of a postcard as many just want to send a quick Holiday greeting. As always, these are available as singles or as a boxed set. I give price breaks on the boxed sets and of quantities of 6 or more, so stock up! If you need a customized set, more quantities or mix and match, I can also arrange that as well, just contact me.

To view them individually or to purchase them visit the online shop here or on Etsy here.

I've got quite a bit of new product to share with you all today. I had planned on posting this on Monday but I just couldn't wait! So here I sit on a Saturday afternoon adding 5 new screenprints to my collection and I couldn't be more pleased! First up is the pièce de résistance my new Alphabet Screenprint. This print is a whopping 18" x 24" and is hand screenprinted using four ink colors: blue, yellow, red, and black. This print was a doozie to produce, let me tell you, but I am so happy with the results and I hope you will like it, too! Due to its size, it would make a great center piece for your little one's room or even give it as a gift. It is a truly timeless theme with a sass&peril twist, and as with all my pieces it has been designed and hand-pulled by me with love for you! You can view more photos, see more details, and purchase the screenprint here in my online shop or on Etsy.

Next up is a new series of Scandinavian-inspired fruit screenprints. My goal here was to take a recognizable shape, such as those of fruits, and give them a geometric pattern twist. I adore Scandinavian design and motifs and wanted to bring some of that pattern work into my designs. I couldn't decide on just one color for these, I even asked some of you on Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook, but it came back pretty dead even on black vs. a traditional color. Sometimes black packs just as bold of a punch as a bright color would so I went with both! I'm also really pleased that I went with the poster size 12.5" x 19" on these as they really make a statement at the bigger size. You can purchase these here in the online shop or on Etsy. 

Now for a little CONTEST! I am offering up each screenprint to three lucky winners! Here's how it will work:

- Pin the print you'd like to win on Pinterest with a link back to the actual print in either my online shop or my Etsy shop. (It must be a link to the product NOT this blog post) 

- Start following sass&peril on Pinterest (This is not mandatory, I'm not going to force you to follow me, but it would be great to connect!)

- Leave me a comment here saying you pinned with your Pinterest profile URL. (I will be checking so no fibbing!)

** Extra credit: Post to your Facebook and/or Twitter (same rules as above). Each post will count as one entry so you can have up to 3 entries for each screenprint you'd like to win!

There will be three different winners and three prints will be given away. One person will win the Alphabet print, another person will win one of the Apple prints (either black or red), and the last person will win one of the Pear prints (either black or green). 

I will choose the winners on October 6th, in one week! Make sure you check back to see if you've won and happy pinning!
