Stationery A-Z: Bright + Colorful Gift Wrap

Gift wrap isn’t just for the holidays, particularly when it’s this beautiful! We have a bunch of birthdays on the horizon, so I have gift wrap on the brain. I’m craving bright colors, pretty patterns, and a hint of sparkle. I’ve been dying to get my hands on some of Angela Liguori‘s metallic cotton ribbon ever since it debuted at the National Stationery Show in May, and I’m convinced it’s impossible to pick a favorite from the new collection of die cut gift tags from Hammerpress. Plus, how cute are the new gift wrap patterns from Sugar Paper, Inky Co. and Wild Ink Press? So so very good.

Alexia + Marco’s Colorful Miami Art Deco Wedding Invitations

Happy Monday everyone! I hope you all had a wonderful holiday and weekend! I always have trouble getting back into a groove after a long weekend, so I thought these bright and colorful wedding invitations from Nicole at Umama were the perfect way to start the week. Bride Alexia wanted Art Deco-inspired design mixed with vibrant Miami colors – such a fun combination! I love the tiny flamingo motif incorporated throughout the design, from the invitation to the envelope liner. So cute!

From Nicole: Alexia and Marco’s wedding has an Art Deco theme, but will take place in Miami. Alexia said she envisioned Art Deco style with slightly more flair, brighter colors, and gold foil. She sent along some inspiration from the Art Deco era and we worked from her vibrant color palette. The combination of clean lines, bold colors, and gold foil made this one of my favorites!

{happy weekend!}

I’m heading out to spend the long holiday weekend with my family. Sophie’s first fireworks! And I’m looking forward to our annual tradition of visiting George Washington’s Mount Vernon Estate on the Fourth of July. I wish you all a very happy Independence Day! I’ll be popping back in on Friday afternoon with a summer cocktail recipe, so check back for that in a couple of days! In the meantime…

National Stationery Show 2013, Part 1

It’s finally here! The 2013 National Stationery Show kicked off yesterday, and I’m so excited for a week full of wonderful stationery! I’ve only had a chance to walk a few aisles so far, but today I’m thrilled to kick off my NSS recaps with five of my favorite booths (so far) from this year’s show! First up, one of the biggest debuts of the year – 9th Letter Press! These ladies went all out with a huge booth filled with awesome letterpress stationery, including gift wrap and foil printed garlands, foil art prints, notebooks and notepads, stickers and fill-in party invitations, and of course tons of greeting cards and holiday cards!

I’ve been following the ladies of Tabletop Made for a loooong time, and it was wonderful to finally meet them in person at their adorable booth! So many cute things, from letterpress printed greeting cards and postcards to gift tags to art prints. I’m particularly loving the sparkly gold foil in the Far Out print below!

I was thrilled to stumble upon this booth from Minneapolis-based new exhibitor Benchpressed. I’m loving the hand lettering, illustrations, and bright colors in the sweet and snarky greeting cards and art prints – and of course I’m a fan of the monthly craft cocktail calendar!

The Rocket Ink booth was one of my favorite debuts last year, and this year Katie’s booth was full of beautiful city and state prints, a gorgeous gem-themed 2014 wall calendar, and lots of illustrated and hand lettered greeting cards, love cards, and holiday cards. And how cute is that fringe trim around the booth??

I’m completely overjoyed that Yellow Owl Workshop was back in their very own booth for this year’s show – and what a booth! Christine hand painted the walls in the most beautiful abstract pattern, which was the perfect backdrop for her colorful greeting cards, stamp kits, and necklaces. They also had their brand new carve-a-stamp kits on display and I’m beyond obsessed. So many possibilities!
