Seasonal Stationery: Father’s Day Cards, Part 2

As promised, I’m back with a few more favorite Father’s Day cards! It can be a real challenge to find the perfect card for my dad and husband each year. Neither one of them fall into your typical Father’s Day card stereotypes of beer cans, fishing lures, or golf clubs, so instead I often look for a card with a simple greeting or sweet emotional sentiment. But those are often my favorite cards anyway, so it always works out!

Seasonal Stationery: Father’s Day Cards, Part 1

Each year, I always find myself scrambling to round up Father’s Day cards in the middle of NSS recaps. Despite my timing issues, Father’s Day is actually incredibly important to me. I was primarily raised by my father, who taught me pretty much everything I know about life, family, and even design, and I’m lucky to be married to an incredible man who also happens to be the most amazing father to our sweet little girl. So today I’m taking a quick break from recaps to bring you two posts full of awesome Father’s Day cards!

Wedding Stationery Inspiration: Tropical

It seems as though lots of folks are already off on summer vacations. Palm trees, pineapples, drink umbrellas and all! So I have all things tropical on the brain as I daydream about paradise… including wedding stationery! Anyone having a destination wedding somewhere perfect and playing up its tropical locale? These day-of paper goods inspired by those faraway colors and motifs we all know and love will certainly help! —Kelly

National Stationery Show 2014, Part 8

More from the 2014 National Stationery Show! I’m always impressed by the amount of exhibitor preparation that goes into the show each year, from booth design to logistics to the most important part – product design! Meg from Belle & Union debuted a ton of new products this year (you saw a few of them in this sneak peek), from brand new aprons and tea towel designs to heirloom wood recipe boxes to greeting cards and state fair notebooks. Whew!

The Brainstorm booth was a big hit, with a gorgeous hand painted mural and a brand new collection of houseplant prints! I have a feeling the fiddle leaf fig and maidenhair fern prints will be particularly popular. I’m also completely smitten with the new illustrated map print of U.S. National Parks!

The Great Lakes Goods is doing some seriously amazing things with objects and hanging decor – from the new large scale wood moon and stars to dipped wood cones (so great as jewelry holders). And how fun are the neon geometric notecards??

I’m not normally drawn to photo-based greeting cards, but I love the fresh take (and gorgeous imagery) in the collection of cards, gift tags, and art prints from Modern Lore. Several of the new designs pair beautiful photographs with copper foil text – so good!

I’ll fully admit to being a crazy cat lady and I’m pretty sure my husband would be a crazy dog man if our cats would let one in the house – so of course we had to stop by the Riverdog Prints booth!

National Stationery Show 2014, Part 5

We have so much to cover from this year’s National Stationery Show, so let’s jump right back in with the first of today’s two recap posts! This was my sixth year attending the show. And while I’m always excited to meet new exhibitors and discover new-to-me designers, the veteran exhibitors are my rock each year. So for this post I thought I’d highlight a few of the fabulous veterans that have been exhibiting as long as I’ve been attending the National Stationery Show and continue to amaze me with their creativity year after year!
