Stationery Show Sneak Peek: Smock

It’s the day before the big show, and I have just a couple more sneak peeks to share!  First up today are some of the new goodies from Smock (Booth 2241).  I always love seeing the letterpress goodies at the Smock booth, but I’m really excited about some of the new products launching at this year’s show, including gold foil stamped cards, new calendars, pretty new double-sided gift wrap sheets, and my personal favorite – spiral bound workbooks!  The workbooks feature both lined and unlined pages for notes and doodles.  So fun!

Stay tuned for more from Smock at the National Stationery Show in a couple of days!

Stationery Show Sneak Peek: Fig. 2 Design Studio

I can’t help but feel an enormous sense of DC area pride when it comes to this next sneak peek designer – Claudia from Fig. 2 Design Studio!  Claudia made a big splash during her NSS debut last year with neon greeting cards, whimsical gift tags, and gorgeous wedding invitations, and I’m sure she’s going to knock it out of the park again this year.  Claudia is adding three new designs to her two wedding albums, Fresh and Felicity, and today she’s sharing a peek into the new Fresh album designs!  Each reflect Claudia’s fun and festive aesthetic, from bright neon typography to fun stripes and copper foil-stamped confetti.

Thanks Claudia!

Stationery Show Sneak Peek: Fine Day Press

Happy Monday everyone!  We’re starting the week off with another Stationery Show sneak peek, this time from Ashley at Fine Day Press!  I love the way Ashley mixes color and pattern in her work, and the new collection debuting this weekend is no exception.  The new collection includes some fun letterpress printed birthday and thank you cards that combine gold foil with bright pink and yellow hues, pocket journals with gold foil pattern covers, and patterned coaster sets.

Fine Day Press debuted a gorgeous watercolor calendar at last year’s Stationery Show, so I’m thrilled to see the calendar make a return this year!  This year’s calendar features abstract botanical patterns in both wall and desk format.  So pretty!

 

Thanks Ashley – I can’t wait to see everything at the show!

Stationery Show Sneak Peek: Kate & Birdie

I have one more National Stationery Show sneak peek before we all go running off for the weekend!  I firmly believe that you can never have too many notebooks around and, between to do lists and general note jotting, we tend to go through notebooks pretty fast in my household.  So I’m definitely looking forward to checking out the new notebook collection from Kate & Birdie launching at this year’s show (in just one more week)!

The collection consists of six different notebook styles – each with a coordinating inside cover pattern.  The perfect-bound notebooks have 100 lined pages and are printed on 100% post consumer recycled paper using vegetable-based ink.  Each notebook measures 5.5” x 8” and features copper foil text on the cover (such a nice touch!).

I can’t wait to see more from Kate & Birdie at the Stationery Show in a few more days!

{happy weekend!}

Ah… the first week back after vacation is always a doozy, isn’t it?  But even after racing to catch up from a week away, I’m so very glad to be back home.  This weekend we’ll be watching the Stanley Cup playoffs and starting to make plans for the future nursery room.  Yay!  But in the meantime…
