NSS Sneak Peek: Fine Day Press
05/15/2013Our final NSS sneak peek of the day comes from Ashley of Fine Day Press (Booth #2046)! This year Ashley is debuting a cheerful new letterpress greeting collection that combines hand-illustrated type with bold and bright colors, along with calendars, watercolor prints, and six watercolor notecard sets. I can’t wait to see all the new goodies at the show!
Thanks Ashley!

Wedding Stationery Inspiration: Art Deco
05/15/2013With last weekend’s premiere of the new Great Gatsby movie (Who’s seen it!?), I thought it was high time I did a roundup of Art Deco inspired wedding stationery! While we know it will be a trend now, a lot of the distinct typography and unique motifs are timeless! You can also play around with some dramatic hues, mixed with black and gold. Talk about a statement! — Kelly

NSS Sneak Peek: Smock
05/15/2013Our next sneak peek comes from a familiar exhibitor – Smock (Booth #2341)! In addition to eco-friendly greeting cards, gift wrap, and boxes, this year the Smock booth will debut a brand new wedding invitation album with twelve design suites. The album includes an exclusive calligraphy font by the talented Molly Jacques, die cut shapes, six foil colors, and the ability to blind emboss or digitally print designs in combination with letterpress printing and foil stamping. I can’t wait to see the new designs in person!
p.s. For NYC brides, Smock will hold a trunk show event at Judy Paulen Designs on Wednesday May 22

NSS Sneak Peek: These Are Things
05/15/2013Today I thought I’d start with another exciting debut at the National Stationery Show: These Are Things (Booth #1446)! I’m a fan of their modern map prints, which will make an appearance at the show along with state maps, city maps, four collections of travel-inspired greeting cards, and fill-in-the-blank cards that can be customized for the recipient. So great for travelers and dreamers with a sense of wanderlust!
Thanks Jen and Omar!

For the last two years, Amber from Flywheel Press has coordinated the most awesome scavenger hunts at the Stationery Show: first it was a set of recipe cards, and then it was cute little matchbook notebooks. This year, Amber has totally outdone herself with Bingo for Two! Amber and 20 other designers, along with Legion Paper, have created a set of two bingo boards (designed by Claudia from Fig. 2 Design) with unique illustrations produced by one of the participating companies to fill each square. So fun!
