Isla Loves: Rifle Paper Co. (Giveaway)

If you’ve been following Snapshots and My Thoughts for even a short period of time, you’ll know that I love (repeat: love) Rifle Paper Co. You’ll find a number of posts mentioning this company’s gorgeous products, including some of the following:

Isla’s birth announcements were inspired by the Wildflower Wrapping Paper
I dream of having my house covered in city prints (already have this Paris one)
Holiday cards from Rifle Paper Co.
Isla’s nursery has numerous Rifle touches (including her gallery wall)
I created Rifle-inspired hostess thank you gifts for a wedding shower
I’m begging Sasha, my husband, to wallpaper our house
I swooned over Anna Rifle Bond’s DIY bridal party invitation

Upon returning home from Durango, my exceptionally sweet best friend bought me the entire In Bloom Book Collection, and I am obsessed. The covers are so gorgeous – I want to stare at them all day. So while this ‘Isla Loves’ feature is perhaps more of an ‘Ailee Loves,’ I know that my adoration over all things Rifle will definitely be passed down to my offspring (I mean, doesn’t she look like she loves the books?).

The good news for you? I’m teaming up with Rifle Paper Co. to give away A Little Princess to one lucky individual!

Follow the various entry options listed below – the more entries you get, the higher the chance you’ll win these sweet shoes. The giveaway ends at midnight on Friday, October 10. I will announce the winner on Monday. I look forward to reading your responses. Good luck!

Isla’s Rifle Paper Co. Inspired Birth Announcements

At long last, Isla’s birth announcements have been sent! I am so relieved to have completed this major project – one which started well before she was born! I did the calligraphy on all 100 envelopes prior to her birth (thank goodness!), cut the envelope liners using this Rifle Paper Co. wrapping paper, stamped our return address using a custom stamp from Angelique Ink, and created the design for the announcement (which was printed by Czar Press). When Isla arrived, all I had left to do was update the design with the appropriate information, get it printed, have Isla’s photos taken by Taylor Lord and printed locally, add the photos to the glassine bags, punch holes, tie bows, and voila – done. Whew. Yes, I am exhausted, but so happy to have finished my second big project (first being Sasha’s graduation announcements). Baby number two will likely have an e-card (ha!).

Rifle Paper Co. City Prints

I love, love, love Rifle Paper Co. and am anxiously awaiting the debut of their wallpaper line with Hygge & West – I cannot wait to see what prints they sell! I have about 8 Rifle Paper Co. prints throughout the house – one in Isla’s nursery (the Paris print above). I dream of having a house filled with their travel prints – the collection above touches on all the places I’ve been, and I’d quite like to add Rio de Janeiro, Moscow, and Rome to the list of places I’ve seen soon. I would also love to see Anna paint ones for Buenos Aires, Edinburgh, Athens, and Cape Town – cities with pretty iconic sites. Have you been to many of these places? Which are on your bucket list? Can you tell I’m feeling lots of wanderlust today?

Rifle Paper Co. Holidays

Nobody says “Feliz Navidad” or “Happy Birthday” like Rifle Paper Co. My one true obsession in life (but truly), I rarely tell someone “Happy __________” using anything other than a Rifle Paper card. Anna Bond’s unique, artistic representation of holidays, from Halloween to Valentine’s Day, is absolutely perfect. Their New Arrivals? Incredible. I want all of those phone covers please. I even emailed them recently to request they create wall paper. Wouldn’t that be to-die-for? One of their Customer Service Representatives kindly replied and said she’d pass along the suggestion. Fingers crossed, y’all.

Rifle Paper Co. Hostess Gifts

Two of Mum’s friends threw me a wedding shower on Sunday, so I bought/made them little ‘thank you’ gifts. For my last shower, I went with a “Thanks a Latte” theme for the presents. However, for this shower, I was totally inspired by everything Rifle Paper Co, so I bought the Rosalie notepad and Gold Floral thank you card, which I paired with a muslin bag from Paper Source. I tied everything together with some of my favorite yard, added a monogram label (bought here) and added a gift card to one of our favorite (and local!) restaurants – Jonathan’s the Rub. I love this stuff so much!
