National Stationery Show 2011 – Part 12

Whew!  With more than 90 booths covered from this year’s National Stationery Show, this is the final post for this year’s show!  I’m ready for a nice long nap at this point, but first let’s get to the good stuff.  First up, Portland-based Oblation Papers and Press, with an industrial-meets-vintage booth design and a collection of classic and clean letterpress cards, invitations, calendars and notebooks.

Letterpress advent calendars – such a cute idea!

My husband would looove these architecture cards…

Oblation Papers & Press

The collection over at Someday Designs is seriously amazing – not only are the letterpress cards seriously adorable, but they’re also hand watercolor painted one by one.  The result is a delicate card that is both completely unique and entirely hand crafted.

Lots and lots of super colorful stationery over at the Kelp Designs booth – pretty and eco-friendly at the same time!  In my opinion, Katie from Kelp Designs is pretty much superwoman; not only did she put together a fabulous booth for the Stationery Show, but she also organized Tradeshow Bootcamp (to help new trade show exhibitors) and exhibited at 8 months pregnant.  Ah-mazing.

Love those cardboard clipboards!

Julie from Up Up Creative made her trade show debut this year, with a super colorful (hello orange!) booth and modern collection of note cards, calendars, gift wrap, and artwork.

Love this color wheel alphabet print!

Like the Ladies of Letterpress booth, the Let {Her} Press booth features multiple exhibitors – this year it was Paper Stories, Paper Parasol Press, Robin Beth, and Lucky Bee Press.

So much color and pretty paper at Envelopments – and a brand new lookbook showcasing some of Envelopments’ custom wedding, baby, and social stationery designs.

At Crane & Co. this year, I got to browse through the new wedding album, check out some of the new social stationery designs, and look at tons of new holiday cards and designs.

Loving the crisp and modern combination of red and white in these two sets of engraved social stationery…

And of course, lots and lots of holiday cards…

Crane & Co. usually offers a fun demonstration in its booth – this year it was the custom monogram process.  I chose a classic swirly monogram for myself…

 

For a little something special, this year the Crane & Co. booth had these stunning window displays – just like fancy New York department stores!  So stunning…

That’s it folks!  I hope you enjoyed the recaps from this year’s National Stationery Show!  If you missed any of the last eleven posts or want to check out the booths from last year, you can see all of my stationery show coverage from the last three years right here!

National Stationery Show 2011 – Part 10

It’s time for another installment of our National Stationery Show coverage!  First up for today, Kathryn from Blackbird Letterpress, with more of her beautiful die cut greeting cards – including a new bee design for this year and a “missing u” note card that would be perfect for anyone with a far-away loved one.

Blackbird Letterpress

Allison from Igloo Letterpress is always coming up with new and creative applications for her designs – from pull out letterpress greeting cards to fun die cut cards.   This year Allison debuted a set of notebooks inspired by brownstone architecture – line up each design for your own little neighborhood!

So many pretty things over at the Wiley Valentine booth!  From new greeting card designs to wedding invitation albums and baby stationery, these ladies have been keeping busy!

Tina from Joie Studio made her Stationery Show debut this year, with a booth full of letterpress greeting cards, wedding invitations, and pinwheel party accessories.  I’m loving the fruit note cards below – so cute!

Joie Studio

Brad from Maginating always has the best collection of greeting cards – the bacon and egg card below is still one of my all-time favorites, but I’m loving the new perfect match and cheer up cards, too.

Maginating

The ladies from Sugarcube Press had an adorable and ruffle-filled booth with tons of pretty stationery – calendars, greeting cards, coasters, bookplates, oh my!

Color made a return to the Stationery Show in a big way this year and was very much in effect at the Smudge Ink booth, with bold patterned gift wrap and calendars, brightly colored note cards, and imprintable party invitations.

Smudge Ink

Speaking of color – the ladies of Two Trick Pony are known for their colorful screen printed note cards, wedding invitations, and calendars.  I love the deep, saturated color of screen printing!

Of course, no trip to the Stationery Show would be complete without a trip to the Old Tom Foolery booth.  Lauren and Joel are guaranteed to put a smile on your face with these hilarious cards.

Only a couple more posts from the National Stationery Show to go!  I’ll be back tomorrow with more coverage from the show.

National Stationery Show 2011 – Part 8

I’m back with a few more collections from the National Stationery Show to help brighten up your Monday, with the beautiful images courtesy of Brian Tropiano Photography.  We’re about halfway through the coverage from this year’s National Stationery Show, so let’s get right to a few more booths!  First up today, the ladies of 9SpotMonk with their collection of edgy greeting cards and color-in letterpress clocks and cards.

It’s always a treat to catch up with Shelley and Angela at the Albertine Press and Carta, Inc. booth.  Shelley debuted a two new volumes – pattern cards and city sets – in the letterpress library at the Gift Show back in January, and those new collections made another appearance at the Stationery Show alongside a new collection of holiday cards.

Albertine Press

On the Carta, Inc. side, I’m still loving Angela’s collection of stamp notebooks – not to mention all of her gorgeous Italian ribbon!

Carta, Inc.

Double Bravo was another of the many new exhibitors at this year’s show and was full of little letterpress goodies, from calendars to cards to a clever way of marking newborn baby milestones!

This card is part of a series to help mark baby milestones – sleeping through the night, first steps, eating solid foods, etc.  So much more creative than your standard baby book!

Double Bravo

Over at the May Day Studio booth, Kelly was showing her collection of antique type letterpress note cards and posters, along with patterned handbound journals, coasters, calendars, and notecards.

May Day Studio

I love the vibrancy of L2 Design Collective‘s screen printed note cards – and this year the booth was full of new cards, including some seriously sweet love notes and a bunch of fun holiday cards.

And last up for today – here was lots of activity over at the Aesthetic Movement booth, with collections from Yellow Owl Workshop, Austin Press, Mara Mi, and Set Editions, among others.

New Goodies from Sycamore Street Press

I’ve got more National Stationery Show coverage coming up a bit later, but first I couldn’t resist sharing some of the new letterpress goodies from Eva and Kirk at Sycamore Street Press.  Eva and Kirk took a little baby break from the Stationery Show this year, and while they didn’t exhibit they still put together a whole new collection for the year.  I’m sharing a few of my favorites below, but you can see the full new collection right here!
