Oh So Beautiful Paper

It looks like there are going to be lots of fabulous wedding invitations at this year’s Stationery Show!  Our latest sneak peek comes to us from Jackie at 42 Pressed (Booth 2066), who is celebrating the release of a brand new wedding collection and new website!  The wedding collection features fresh and modern typography combined with whimsical elements – from nautical sophistication to country flair to rustic charm.

Jackie also sent over a sneak peek of the first 42 Pressed letterpress calendar!  The calendar design features a different 2-color produce illustration for each month, inspired by the food that Jackie makes for her little baby girl who turns a year old in June.  I love the way Jackie came up with the idea for her calendar – read below for her description!

From Jackie:  This is our first ever letterpress calendar and we are SO excited about it.  I make all of our daughter’s food, so I am very conscious of what I feed her.  It can be difficult to buy everything organic, so I found myself always referring to the “dirty dozen” list of veggies: the top 12 veggies that you should always buy organic due to the high traces of pesticides found by the United States Department of Agriculture.  I wanted to design a kitchen guide that clearly indicates all produce on the list that also works as a fun kitchen calendar.

Thanks Jackie!

I had the pleasure of meeting Catherine from Printerette Press when she made her trade show debut at last year’s Stationery Show – and it has been so much fun watching her collection grow over the past year!  I can’t wait to see Catherine’s new cards in a few days (Booth 2056), but today I’m completely smitten with the brand new Printerette Press wedding invitation collection debuting at the show this weekend!  The new collection features Catherine’s signature whimsical design style, from hand lettering and illustrated details to watercolor elements, all letterpress printed on soft cotton paper.

So pretty!  Congrats Catherine!

I’m a huge fan of the custom wedding work from Kathryn of Blackbird Letterpress.  Kathryn has created some of my all-time favorite wedding invitations, from Riley and Robert’s modern New Orleans-inspired invitations to Margie and Morgan’s fabulous Art Deco postalgram wedding invitations.  Kathryn recently released a gorgeous wedding invitation collection that reflects her unique mix of whimsical illustrated elements with classic design.  Here are a few of my favorites from the collection…

Congrats Kathryn!  Check out the full collection and lots of additional photos here.
