Stationery Snow Sneak Peek: Moglea + Happy Cactus

Our next Stationery Show sneak peek comes from two companies making their debut at this year’s show – so exciting!  Meg from Moglea created these awesome baby shower invitations that I featured a couple of months ago, and this weekend she’ll be exhibiting as part of the Ladies of Letterpress booth (2274-2280)!  The Moglea collection includes beautiful hand lettering and patterns inspired by the prairie landscape near her home, all letterpress printed in bright colors on super-thick paper.  I’m particularly excited about Meg’s new letter-writing stationery sets – so fun!

Moglea

Brannon from Happy Cactus Designs is known for bright and colorful stationery designs; you might remember these floral patterned note cards that I featured last year.  For her Stationery Show debut (Booth 2143), she’ll be debuting more than 70 new greeting card and note card designs.  I can’t wait to see!

Wedding Invitations from Printerette Press

I had the pleasure of meeting Catherine from Printerette Press when she made her trade show debut at last year’s Stationery Show – and it has been so much fun watching her collection grow over the past year!  I can’t wait to see Catherine’s new cards in a few days (Booth 2056), but today I’m completely smitten with the brand new Printerette Press wedding invitation collection debuting at the show this weekend!  The new collection features Catherine’s signature whimsical design style, from hand lettering and illustrated details to watercolor elements, all letterpress printed on soft cotton paper.

 

 

So pretty!  Congrats Catherine!

Stationery Show Sneak Peek: Katharine Watson + Pie Bird Press

I love the diverse range of design styles amongst exhibitors at the National Stationery Show – and these two sneak peeks couldn’t be better examples!  Katharine Watson creates beautiful stationery and textiles from hand-carved blocks (you might remember her guest post on block printing).  Her latest collection, debuting at the show this weekend in booth 1842, was influenced by the three months that she spent in India working with local block printers earlier this year.  So pretty!

Hannah from Pie Bird Press is known for her bright and colorful letterpress stationery.  This year she’ll be exhibiting as part of the Crow and Canary booth (3024-3026) along with Two Trick Pony, Enormous Champion, Gilah Press, Paper + Cup, Red Cap Cards, and many more of my favorite designers – it’s going to be a fun booth to visit during the show!

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!
