#mr. boddington's studio

[sarahspy]

I had used Paperless Post once before, when sending invitations to friends for my Birthday Cocktails event this past May. This past month, however, Paperless Post gave me the opportunity to share love in the other direction -- by sending out birthday e-cards.

When poking around the site's birthday card offerings, I was quite excited to see an illustration by past Storychord.com contributor Anke Weckmann among the offerings! See above for her adorable kitten-in-a-teacup graphic.

I was searching for something a little less cutesy at the moment, though, given that my father was the one celebrating an October birthday. There were so many great designs to choose from -- including ones by featured artists such as Mr. Boddington's Studio, Red Cap Cards, kate spade new york, and cartoonists from The New Yorker.

Given my Dad's love of craft beers and snacks, I eventually settled on Hello!Lucky's "Cheers Beers" birthday card, pictured above. Like many cards on the site, this e-card had a super cheap base price, but could be customized with fun backgrounds, stamps, custom photo images, and other design features, as appropriate.

I really enjoyed the customization options -- and also noticed in the process that I could schedule e-card deliveries into the future. My tendency to plan ahead and batch tasks lately might really enjoy spending a weekend afternoon creating and scheduling a few months' worth of cards for friends... Not to mention we will soon be approaching holiday card sending season!

Check out Paperless Post's birthday e-card offerings here.

20 reimagined editions of classic books you’ll want to buy immediately

Books are the gift that keep on giving.

Not only are the stories within them capable of transporting you to far off lands and through thrilling tales, but they are prized for their beauty as well.

Yes, we know you aren't supposed to judge a book by its cover, but come on, book covers matter. It's the reason why publishers constantly push out new editions of old books. If repackaged properly, an old book can become just as popular as a new one.

Moreover, book covers are actually, literally judged. There are competitions and awards for book cover design. So don't feel bad if you find yourself trading in an older copy of a classic novel for a newer, sleeker edition. We guarantee that you're not the only one doing it and we're here to help.

SEE ALSO: Endlessly creative bookstores show how much we still need more books from women

We've compiled some of the most stunning editions of classic novels you should think about adding to your bookshelf, because they are simply too beautiful not to buy. Some of them are from very limited runs and may be tough to find, but knowing they exist is the first step.

Welcome to your beautiful future library.

1. Dune by Frank Herbert

A post shared by Ajay Kotian (@lordalbus) on Feb 6, 2017 at 1:19am PST

This edition of Dune is part of Penguin Random House's Penguin Galaxy collection, a celebration of some of the best sci-fi novels of our time. Other titles in the series include 2001: A Space Odyssey and Stranger in a Strange Land.

Price: $17.85 on Amazon

2. House-themed Harry Potter set

A post shared by Juniper Books (@juniperbooks) on Mar 31, 2017 at 7:22am PDT

If you are unaware, Juniper Books specializes in taking some of your favorite books and wrapping them in exquisite book jackets, especially books sets. The above Harry Potter sets are just some examples of their work. As you can see, all Hogwarts Houses are represented so that you can make sure to get the set that fits your needs. But be warned that they are not cheap.

Price: $275

3. Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen

A post shared by Jude | Vancouver (@mybookbath) on Jan 28, 2017 at 2:04pm PST

The editions of Pride and Prejudice that exist in the world are countless, but this one is the only one that matters. The book is part of the Faux Leather Edition series done by Penguin and includes many other classic novels as well.

Price: $39.99

4. The Beautiful and the Damned by F. Scott Fitzgerald

A post shared by Steff (@pekingenten) on Dec 23, 2015 at 9:22pm PST

If you're going to read a book about the Jazz Age, you might as well make sure the book looks like the Jazz Age. Penguin released a line of hardcover F. Scott Fitzgerald books all draped with beautiful gold foil designs that veritably scream of the Roaring '20s.

Price: $26

5. The Illiad and The Odyssey by Homer

A post shared by Ashley H (@biblio.babble) on Mar 27, 2017 at 6:23am PDT

Perfectly capturing the tumult that is in both of Homer's classic tales, this Barnes & Noble Collectible Edition of both epic poems together make the stories look as cool as they deserve to be. The only downside of this version is how thick it is. While it looks good on the shelf, it may be impractical to actually read.

Price: $32.57+

6. Sense and Sensibility by Jane Austen

A post shared by Jem Cope (@jemlovesbooks) on Mar 27, 2017 at 8:36am PDT

This small and stately copy of one of Jane Austen's classics was designed by Mr. Boddington Studio's. Unfortunately, this particular copy of the book is no longer being produced so if you must have this edition, you'll need to be willing to pay a hefty price to a reseller.

Price: $285.86+ from Amazon

7. 1984 by George Orwell

Image: the folio society

You probably already have a copy of 1984, either from school or from buying it after the ascendency of our new president. But if you are still missing this Orwell classic in your life, why not get an edition that embodies the full-on creepiness of the story itself?

Price: $56.95

8. A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man by James Joyce

A post shared by Dean (@deansreads) on Apr 8, 2017 at 3:58am PDT

James Joyce isn't everything's favorite author, but a cover this beautiful will have no trouble at all ingratiating itself right onto your shelves. Added bonus: This book is also known as one of Joyce's most approachable novels, so you should actually try reading it instead of just looking at it.

Price: $17

9. Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad

A post shared by Aria Violet (@aria_violet66) on Apr 2, 2017 at 2:17pm PDT

Joseph Conrad's classic tale gets revived in this fully illustrated version of Heart of Darkness from Tin House. Now you not only can read about the horror, but you can see it too.

Price: $20

10. Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea by Jules Verne

A post shared by Coralie Bickford-Smith (@coraliebickfordsmith) on Apr 5, 2017 at 2:28am PDT

Just one of many gorgeous Penguin Clothbound Classics, this robust tale of adventure gets a more modern makeover with a cute pattern of elegant jellyfish. These will be hitting bookshelves in July, but can be pre-ordered online now.

Price: $24

11. The Lord of the Rings trilogy

A post shared by Bluestocking Bookshelf | Jen (@bluestockingbookshelf) on Jan 20, 2017 at 6:17am PST

It feels like every publisher has its own version of the Lord of the Rings trilogy and this makes it difficult for those of us trying to find the absolutely best edition of the series, one that appropriately invokes the fantasy of the story while also looking beautiful on the shelf. Look no further than this Juniper Books set. Together, the spines of the three books come together to make the fabled Doors of Durin. Speak friend, and buy this set right away.

Price: $95

12. Sherlock Holmes by Arthur Conan Doyle

A post shared by Mark (@reallyfoxed) on May 10, 2016 at 8:59am PDT

White's Books released an impeccably designed set of classic novels in 2010 that included this edition of Sherlock Holmes. The books were instantly popular among book lovers and were snatched up relatively quickly. Now that these books have stopped being produced, securing yourself a copy can be quite difficult and the price you'll need to pay varies depending on the third-party seller.

Price: $9.89+ on Amazon

13. Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte

A post shared by Aamina Ali (@min_ah365) on Apr 7, 2017 at 5:24pm PDT

Penguin Drop Caps, a series of 26 books that highlight one great author per letter in the alphabet, may be the most Instagrammable books ever created. The cover of each simply features the first letter of the author's last name, but each uniquely designed to fit the tone and context of the book. With a stately B for Bronte going up in flames, this book is the right way to read Jane Eyre.

Price: $22

14. American Gods by Neil Gaiman

A post shared by Southcart Books & Comics (@southcart_books_and_comics) on Mar 15, 2017 at 2:59pm PDT

Just in time for the TV adaption on Starz, this collector's edition of Neil Gaiman's popular novel puts all other editions of American Gods to shame. Illustrator David McKean created 12 incredible illustrations to accompany this version of the book, including three double-page spreads.

Price: $120

15. The Arabian Nights: Tales of 1,001 Nights boxed set

Image: amazon

Here's another stunning boxed set that can only be purchased through third-party sellers, because nice-looking books are apparently in high demand. This clean and sophisticated book set for Arabian Nights is designed by the same person who does Penguin's Clothbound Classics series and the Fitzgerald series above.

Price: $499.75+ on Amazon

16. Anne of Green Gablesby L.M. Montgomery

A post shared by Maple and Palm Creative (@mapleandpalm) on Apr 12, 2017 at 8:05am PDT

Colorful, whimsical, and cute, this edition of Anne of Green Gables would be right at home on both child and adult bookshelves. This book is part of the Puffin in Bloom series, a collection of four tales for children all designed with a similar theme of bright flowers and flowing typography.

Price: $16

17. The Raven by Edgar Allan Poe

Image: Penguin random house

Embrace the darkness with this edition of Edgar Allan Poe's famous poem, The Raven. Not only does it have a compelling cover, but the book is part of the Penguin Horror series which was curated by filmmaker Guillermo del Toro. If he approved this edition, it's probably fit to go on your bookshelf.

Price; $23

18. The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas

A post shared by Maddie (@blighted_star) on Oct 30, 2016 at 4:55am PDT

As another perfect entry in the Penguin's Clothbound Classics series, this cover of The Count of Monte Cristo hints at the intrigue and drama this story is all about.

Price: $30

19. Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass by Lewis Carroll

A post shared by Jolene (@jolenecreation) on Mar 8, 2017 at 4:21am PST

You could probably dedicate an entire bookshelf to different editions of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and you still wouldn't have enough room to fit them all. But it's hard not to want to collect them all because so many of them look so good, like this edition from Barnes & Noble's Collectible Edition Series.

Price: $21.48

20. Moby Dick by Herman Melville

A post shared by Ands (@andsreads) on Mar 19, 2017 at 4:48am PDT

Moby Dick is long. To attempt to read it is basically the literary version of hunting down Captain Ahab's infamous white whale. But the challenge of reading it seems less daunting if you are tackling the feat with this edition of the classic.

Price: $9.68+ on Amazon

Get Well Cards

It’s that time of year: cold and flu season. The days may finally be getting longer, but it’s still pretty cold out there and summer is still a long way away. (Insert crying face emoji). If you have a loved one suffering from the common cold now or preparing to confront seasonal allergies in a few weeks, it’s a good time to stock up on get well cards! If possible, we highly recommend hand delivering these cards with a bowl of chicken noodle soup. From clever puns to bunnies dressed as nurses, here are twelve get well cards to provide the perfect pick-me-up for those in need.

From top right:

1. Well, that’s a bummer. This cat cone is sure to put any ailment in perspective. Hand-painted from Idlewild Co.

2. Don’t let the inception confuse you in your already feverish state; it’s just a card within a card…(within a puzzle, wrapped in an enigma). From Ash and Chess.

3. Everyone needs some good juju every now and then, especially when feeling under the weather. From Farewell Paperie.

4. Good soup cures most ailments (I’ve even seen matzo ball soup marketed as “Jewish penicillin”). Illustrated by Everyday Balloons Print Shop.

5. This beautiful bouquet from Wild Hart Paper is sure to cheer anyone up.

6. If there was ever a time to binge watch episodes of Scandal, this is it. From Ladyfingers Letterpress.

7. I’ve never seen quite so artistic a slug before. Those ladies at Hello!Lucky can make anything look good – this get well card is no exception.

8. Who says get well cards have to be a bummer? The Social Type proves otherwise with this design that’s pretty much guaranteed to cheer anyone up.

9. Nurse Bunny? Yes, please! From Dear Hancock.

10. If I owned a handkerchief this beautiful, I can assure you I certainly wouldn’t be using it to blow my nose. From Antiquaria.

11. I’m pretty sure rainbows are scientifically proven to cheer people up and Fugu Fugu Press agrees.

12. If only cupcakes could cure illnesses! From Mr. Boddington’s Studio.

  p.s. Ten sweet thank you cards and ten encouragement cards

Beautiful Hanukkah Cards

You’re getting a double dose of holiday from me today – because Hanukkah starts tonight! I grew up celebrating both Christmas and Hanukkah in observance of both sides of my heritage, and I’m excited to continue that tradition with my own children. We’ll be lighting candles, making latkes with sour cream and applesauce, eating chocolate Hanukkah gelt, and indulging in sufganiyot (we get ours locally from District Doughnuts). For those of you looking for the perfect card to celebrate the festival of lights (or even buying ahead for next year), here are twelve beautiful Hanukkah cards!

From top right:

1. Such a beautiful illustrated Hanukkah card by Wild Hart Paper

2. Even I have trouble keeping it straight! Send some laughs with this Near Modern Disaster card, which also makes the perfect slightly belated Hanukkah card. 

3. Shout-out to all the folks in a joint Hanukkah-Christmas household by Dahlia Press

4. Send holiday wishes in classic, elegant style with this card from Sugar Paper

5. The perfect Hanukkah card for your millennial cousins/nieces/nephews from Party Sally

6. This card from Mr. Boddington’s Studio just cracks me up. I’m totally sending this card to my dad this year.

7. This Hanukkah card from Hello!Lucky was one of my favorites at the National Stationery Show back in May – and it has shiny copper foil details!

8. Latkes of love! This card from Meeschmosh is totally speaking my language.

9. I never really mastered the art of spinning a dreidel, but that doesn’t stop me from appreciating this card by Egg Press

10. I always appreciate cards that incorporate music lyrics from the 1980s (from ilootpaperie – the masters of puns!) 

11. Cats celebrate Hanukkah, too! Illustrated card by The Dancing Cat, naturally.

12. You can’t go wrong with a gold foil menorah from Red Cap Cards

  p.s. Twelve beautiful Christmas cards for those of you celebrating both holidays!
