We’re moving full speed ahead with coverage from the National Stationery Show! This recap includes several new exhibitors that I was excited to meet in person after admiring their cards from afar – Thimblepress, Ink Meets Paper, and Emily McDowell – alongside returning veterans like Hammerpress, Smock, and Maginating. So much beautiful stationery, from debut exhibitors and veterans alike!
LOVE these hand lettered offset and letterpress printed cards!
 
 
 
 
So, so good.
 
 
 
The three cards above are some of my favorites from the whole show! Illustrated by Emily, and letterpress printed by Allison of Igloo Letterpress.
 
 
 
As if gorgeous stationery and beautiful wedding invitations wasn’t enough eye candy, I’m head over heels for that tassel garland!
 
 
The ladies of Farewell Paperie just launched a brand new party collection with everything you could possibly need for any shindig, from napkins and coasters to drink tags, confetti cones, and placemats!
 
Next stop – the beautiful ribbons of Studio Carta and letterpress stationery from Albertine Press!
 
Angela’s metallic ribbon is even MORE beautiful in person!
 
 
New volumes in the city notes collection – including Paris!
 
Maginating won the Louie Award for Card of the Year – for the second year in a row! The gold foil card above was the winner – congrats Brad!
 
 
 
 
Love the new gift wrap sheets and gift tags!
 
 
 
 
Still in awe over the paper cone garland – made from some of Smock’s new gift wrap patterns – which stretched across the entire booth and wrapped around the exterior corner wall!
 
So many pretty new cards – and lots of metallic foil throughout the collection!
 
Gorgeous new wedding invitations – and the option for digitally printed envelope liners! You know I love anything with constellations!
 
 
I’ll be back in just a bit with more from the 2013 National Stationery Show!
