Ok, I generally endorse the reduction of paper consumption and packaging. However, weddings, baby showers and other such special occasions are definitely the exception to the rule! So are rainy days when a good friend needs a funny card to pick them up off the floor!

To offset these indulgences, Clever Betsy is pleased to provide 100% re-used paper shred and brown paper packaging free of charge for all orders. This cute and earth-friendly approach works fine most days!

However, when you do have one of those other occasions, please consider our new selection of handmade cards, gift bags, and customized packaging. Clever Betsy is excited to announce the addition of talented paper craft artist LaToya Gutter! LaToya’s lovely creations including stationary sets and customized journals are now available for your gift giving enjoyment! Make a friend’s day by sending an original LaToya Gutter card today!

You can checkout La Toya’s blog and some tips on papercrafting at:

Also, if you are interested in attending some paper crafting classes, watch this space! I believe LaToya will be posting some classes soon!

The next time you need a truly special gift that is unique from start to finish, commission LaToya to create special gift items or packaging for you. Starting from just $10 per special order, LaToya can create bags, boxes or envelopes that incorporate paper items, ribbon, buttons or other special memorabilia items to make the exterior of your gift just as eye-catching as what’s inside! And, of course, if you need a gift to go inside, Clever Betsy artists would be excited to help create that for you too!

And, if you’d like to practice Clever Betsy’s special brand of green, you can commission an “Heirloom Project” where you can send us some of your own items to re-style and re-use in your packaging or in paper craft gift items.

Clever Betsy recently requested customized packaging from LaToya for a very special baby shower. The mommy was blown away by the result, an adorable box and card that featured an image of a little girl that was being used in a mural on the new baby’s nursery wall. The mommy/daughter matching bracelets nestled inside weren’t too shabby either!
