New Fresh Flowers Plantable Stationery Collection May 11, 2012

Happy Friday everyone! We hope you've had a great week, we sure have!

It wasn't too long ago that we introduced you to the Fresh Flowers Plantable Thank You Card Set, and the response has been overwhelming. Even the editors of InStyle took note of this stylish set!

And you know what? We love it too. So today, we are very excited to tell you that we've just created an entirely new plantable stationery collection from those beautiful red floral designs.

Let's take a look at the individual pieces, starting with the Fresh Flowers Plantable Pocket Notebooks. These great little books are so handy, and the perfect size to keep just about anywhere. And when they're full, just plant the seed paper cover and they'll grow wildflowers too!

If you're looking for something a little bigger to write in, you should take a look at the Fresh Flowers Coil Bound Plantable Journal. There's plenty of pages, and an extra-thick cardboard backing that makes it so easy to write, no matter where you are. What makes this journal extra eco-friendly is that the inside pages and the backing are both made with 100% post-consumer materials. And of course, you can't forget about the cover that's made with plantable paper!

Want to send a greeting to a friend? If you're sending a thanks, take a look at the original Fresh Flowers Plantable Thank You Cards set. For any other greetings, check out the Fresh Flowers Plantable Postcards Set. Printed on seed paper, the lucky recipient can plant it once the note is read. They're a great way to send flowers AND a nice note in the mail!

And last but not least, there's the Fresh Flowers Plantable Notepad. The coil binding and blank pages inside make it perfect for doodles, lists, and keeping track of pretty much anything. And the seed paper cover? It grows flowers, of course! A beautiful reward for being so darn organized.

So there you have it! A brand new plantable stationery collection. What do you think? Which piece is your favourite?

Have a great weekend!

Botanical PaperWorks' Seed Paper Cards in InStyle Magazine March 12, 2012

Well, isn't this a great way to start the week! We just received a fresh-off-the-press copy of April's InStyle Magazine. Not only did we get to see the beautiful Sofia Vergara on the cover, but our new Fresh Flowers Plantable Thank You Card Set featured inside!

These plantable cards were hand picked by the InStyle editors themselves, and were featured in the monthly "Staff Picks" section. With Earth Day coming up on April 22, the editors chose a bunch of stylish and eco-friendly products to showcase. Of course, plantable paper and Earth Day are a perfect match!

Shilpa Prabhakar, an InStyle Fashion Assistant says, "I love these cards, which are embedded with wildflower seeds. You can plant the whole thing. It's like sending a thank you and a bouquet of flowers all in one small envelope."

We're so happy to see this new plantable card set featured in the pages of such a stylish magazine! To see more card sets made with seed paper, visit the Stationery & Gifts section of our website.

Botanical PaperWorks (PPPC 20111201) has ample experience in creating seed paper products for all occasions, having been in business for 15 years. With all this experience and environmental consciousness constantly a factor, there's no better match for this green company than eco-friendly Earth Day promotions.

Included in this vibrant and eye-catching Earth Day collection is an assortment of stationery suited to any budget - from seed paper bookmarks and flat cards with plantable Earth shapes, to 100% plantable greeting cards, seed paper postcards, and useful journals and notebooks in various sizes and price options.

This isn't the first Earth Day stationery collection for the Canadian company, who saw increased eco awareness with their 2011 "It's Our Earth" collection as well. Said company President, Heidi Reimer-Epp, "Being environmentally aware is no longer just a trend - it's a way of life. The whole world is on board for Earth Day, and so are a growing number of companies that want to show their support for green living as well."

All of Botanical PaperWorks products are eco-friendly, and made using post-consumer materials. Each piece of seed paper in the Earth Day collection is carefully embedded with high-quality North American wildflower seeds. Says Heidi, "Not only do these Earth Day products provide a unique and memorable enforcement for a brand, but a useful and valuable gift to anyone that receives it. They're a great way to spread eco awareness, and leave no waste behind."

Thank You! December 30, 2011

2011 has been an amazing year, and we owe it all to you.

As the year winds down, and a new one is about to begin, we took a few moments this week to stop and think of all the wonderful things we appreciate about all of you. Here's just a few things we can't get enough of:

Your enthusiasm
From new products, to crafts, and even when we post silly things like a pug in a jug - we LOVE hearing from you, and what you think.

Your stories
We will never tire of hearing brides sharing wedding day stories, or how happy they were to see their plantable invitations, favors and other seed paper wedding pieces arrive at their door. Or the people that go out of their way to email us, and tell us just how much their plantable favors were appreciated at other events such as memorials or showers. Keep them coming, they make our day!

Your photos
You people are SO creative with your seed paper! Wow. You never cease to amaze us. Everything from kids books to dresses, to great ways to display favors and confetti, we just can't get enough of these great photos that you take the time to share.

Your likes, re-tweets, follows, pins and posts
Oh, how we love a like...and a re-tweet...and a blog post... All of these things really go a long way to show that we're doing the right thing here. In a world that seems to be run by social media, your support out there on your blogs, Facebook pages, Twitter feeds and Pinboards mean so much.

Your support
Most of all, we appreciate your support, and we just can't thank you enough for that.

This company was started by a woman and her mom, because of their love for all things paper. We're passionate about what we do, but have grown because of you.

We can't even begin to tell you how excited we are for 2012, and how much we look forward to sharing it all with you.

Happy New Year from all of us at Botanical PaperWorks!

Merry Christmas From Botanical PaperWorks! December 23, 2011

Everyone here at Botanical PaperWorks has really gotten into the Christmas spirit over the past few weeks. Everything got kicked off at our Christmas party a couple weeks ago. Look at this group - we clean up nice!

We had a family-style turkey dinner, complete with all the fixings. The night also included Botanical PaperWorks charades, where we had to act out such work-specific terms as 'bucket of love' and 'shipping a package'. So much fun to spend time with each other for an evening, we had loads of laughs and a really great time.

And the fun continued today! Take a look at some of the photos from today's potluck lunch:

Look at this table! So full of food, I'm surprised the legs didn't buckle. And it all tasted as good as it looks.

Here's our tree. Decorated with seed paper stars, of course!

Then there's Bryce, sneaking in on what was going to be a nice shot of the table…

And HERE is the star of potluck lunch. Robyn, the nice voice you talk to when you contact us, makes the most amazing chocolate cake. We ask for this by special request! I'm pretty sure there was almost an arm wrestle when it came down to the last few pieces. It's THAT good.

From all of us here at Botanical PaperWorks, we wish you all the very best during your holiday season! Enjoy your time with family and friends, and be sure to have an extra piece of dessert!
