Paper + Craft by Minhee & Truman Cho
A few months back (in fact it was March on my birthday) I received a lovely book called “Paper + Craft” from my great friend Anja (who also has some lovely illustration work on her website by the way!).
Paper + Craft contains 25 paper inspired gift ideas that fellow crafters can create at home. The book has been written by Minhee & Truman Cho who are co founders of Paper Cup Design an innovative design company based in NYC.
Each of the 25 craft projects have lovely images and detailed step by step instructions all beautifully illustrated to help you create your own personalised gift tags, place names, goodie bags and much more.
The page layout and over all design of the book is well thought out, clear and quirky. Each chapter uses shapes, textures and patterns that are associated with the item you are creating. They also use lovely script and retro fonts which make sections jump out at you so you know exactly where you are in the grand scheme of things.
Take a look at Paper Cup Design’s website for more inspiring gifts ideas.

Going all crafty with “I like Sleeping”
I was lucky enough to have the work of “I Like Sleeping” shown to me by @topleftdesign the other week and I instantly loved it!
“I Like Sleeping” is the brain child of illustrator Hanako Clulow and her work is a mixture of collage, hand drawings, stitch and much more.
Her nieve style of illustration is character-full and compelling and her use of textures through different mediums (print, paint, pencil etc) gives depth to her work.
I adore her bear pieces in particular.
