Feminine and Floral is what we went with, in this week's highlight of Soolip's weekly wraps. The sheer Chartreuse Organdy Ribbon paired with translucent faceted floral accents help reflect an aura of airiness sitting atop shimmering plum paper. Femininity:achieved.

The Art of Gift Wrapping—Holiday Style

2012-12-05T14:28:00.002-08:00

On Monday night (12/3), I had the pleasure of watching Wanda Wen in her element as she wrapped an assortment of gifts in every size and shape. From different gift wrapping scenarios, to choosing skinny or wide ribbons—every present she wrapped offered a unique resourcefulness that upheld her love of nature.

Unconventional is what we do best—based on the cylindrical shape of mailing tubes, we
created the India Invitation set where guests receive a Lokta Paper covered mailing tube
hand calligraphered in luscious Aubergine ink. Inside, guests will unravel an invitation scroll
letterpressed in silver ink wrapped in antique platinum cord. Replies are then sent in a
smaller mailing tube given the same Soolip treatment. With a plummy color palette
including hints of burnt orange—this invitation will warm up any Fall/Winter wedding!

Is your event not set in the Fall/Winter months? Soolip has a vast paper
color palette to match any season and or occasion!

Edged in Mica, these place cards add the right amount of twinkle without the kitschiness of glitter. Separated with Kraft colored paper to protect the delicate flakes, these place cards were given the final Soolip touch by adding names carefully calligraphered in gold script.

When approached by a client to wrap this awesome mushroom lamp and various children's books as a baby shower present, we both decided to stray from the traditional "blue" for a boy, and focus on the wonderful red mushroom top at hand.

To play up the woodland theme, I used green tissue to add to the illusion of the presents nestled in grass. Straying from the traditional ribbon + bow concept, I finished each book wrapped in kraft with Japanese Washi Paper Tape in a very familiar white dot on red pattern.

Weekly Wrap 09.14.12

2012-09-17T11:37:00.001-07:00

This week's wrap is inspired by the infamous designer Louis Vuitton—whose book "Louis Vuitton: Art, Fashion and Architecture" is nicely nestled in the luxurious yet eco-conscious ultra-suede fuschia paper and doubly wrapped in silk watercolor ribbon to match.

Her name explains it all. Getting married in August and having the name Summer already define the mood of this week's color inspiration palette. Although we have moved into the beginning of Fall, Summer is unwilling to release her reign, and continues to pester us with the unbearable heat. Evoking Summer and her incessant energy, these orange Arctic Daisies were hand dried/picked/pressed and affixed one by one encircling the gray letterpressed text. Fancy florals? We have a range of floral ephemera ready to embellish and elicit every type of mood!

Color Inspiration 09.06.12

2012-09-06T16:16:00.003-07:00

This week's inspiration comes from an invitation set for a client in Aspen Colorado. With such a verdant and lush landscape, Aspen's essence shines throughout the set in the Hunter green ink used for the save the dates, and the natural colored chipboard. Paired with silver foil stamping and a gunmetal outer envelope, these invitations are a chic homage to nature!

Weekly Wrap 08.31.12

2012-09-02T16:32:00.002-07:00

This week's wrap is inspired by the smooth tones of Wanda's favorite recording artist.

Echoing the timbre in her voice, we chose a neutral palette focused on textures from nature.

Using papers from around the world, including Nepal and India; sink into the faux-bois ridges of the

embossed paper and feel nature at its most raw form in the 100% Flax Linen paper from Montreal.

Perfectly wrapped in mink ribbon, and doubled with antique platinum cord—these neutrals are far from subtle.
