NSS – Booth round-up, part two

Happy Friday everyone!Â I don’t know about you all, but I’m definitely looking forward to some much-needed rest over the holiday weekend.Â But first, more from NSS ’09!

I absolutely adored the Night Owl Paper Goods booth, which was chock full of their lovely letterpress and wood veneer stationery:

{see that square print in the center? it’s letterpress and absolutely gorgeous! they’re part of a limited edition, but you can find the few left right here}

On the other side of the design spectrum, but equally as charming, was the Fugu Fugu Press booth:

{isn’t the new baby card above the cutest thing ever?}

Next up, the booth from Portland-based Old School Stationers – the fun mix of pattern + color made this booth one of my NSS favorites:

{love these letterpress art prints – the pig is my favorite!}

{I know you can’t see the details in this photo – but this calendar is absolutely gorgeous! It’ll definitely be part of my calendar round-up later in the year}

{I tried to get as much detail on this “Merry Christmoose” card as possible – the letterpress color field makes the white snowflakes pop up. Love it!}

I also had a ton of fun chatting with Tianyi from Tiselle:

{these letterpress self-mailers are such a great idea!}

I showed you a couple of photos from the Enormous Champion booth earlier this week, but I loved their booth so much I just had to show you the rest!

{LOVE those textiles and the wooden animal figurines!}

Stay tuned for part three of the NSS booth round-up!

Wedding Invitations â€” Good onÂ Paper

I’m taking a quick break from NSS coverage to share a few new and absolutely gorgeous invitations and business cards from the always fabulous Lisa Wong Jackson of Good on Paper.Â I’m a huge fan of Lisa’s work, and so when she was kind enough to send over a few photos of recent additions to her custom portfolio, I just couldn’t wait to share them here with you:

{I love the pops of red ink in the suite above}

{wood veneer invitations – so lovely!}

{love the mix of fonts + pattern!}

{love this invitation for a 60th birthday party!}

{gorgeous violet + chocolate brown letterpress invitations}

{lovely business cards – I’m loving the vertical layout!}

If you haven’t already, you absolutely must head over to the Good on Paper custom portfolio to check out more of Lisa’s beautiful work.Â You can also visit the Good on Paper shop right here to check out the selection of note cards, small journals, office stationery, and lots more.

I’ll be back a bit later with more from the NSS – including photos from day #3 and more in-depth features on some of my favorite booths!

{photos from Good on Paper – thanks Lisa!}

NSS Bound – Robin Beth Designs

I'm starting to get really excited about heading up to the NSS this weekend – I can't wait to see all the new products from so many of my favorite designers!

I'm also looking forward to seeing the work of several designers in person for the first time. Stationery, and particularly letterpress, has such a tactile nature that I find that I need to be able to see it in person to really appreciate the craftsmanship behind each design. One such designer is Robin Beth Designs, who will be at the NSS (booth #3113) with a bunch of new wedding invitations and letterpress goodies:

I'll be reporting back with more photos from the NSS next week, but in the meantime, you can check out Robin's portfolio here, as well as photos from her New Classic Wedding Collection on her flickr page right here.

My Business Cards – and new sponsor introduction!

As I get ready to head up to the National Stationery Show this weekend, I figured it was about time to have some business cards made up for myself.Â I jumped at the chance to work with Suann from simplesong design.Â Suann really went above and beyond for this little project, creating an absolutely gorgeous set of business cards and matching letterpress note cards:

The business cards were printed in soft gray ink with a blind stamped patterned background on Crane’s 110# bright white cotton lettra paper, while the note cards were printed on pearl white 110# lettra:

I love, love them – and I’m very much looking forward to sending some notes on my new stationery!Â Thanks so much Suann!

I’m also very excited to announce that simplesong designs is my newest sponsor here at Oh So Beautiful Paper!Â As you can tell, I truly adore Suann’s work – from her readymade cards to her custom wedding invitations, baby announcements, and business collateral:

Check out more of Suann’s work at the simplesong designs portfolio here, etsy shop here – and of course on Suann’s lovely blog!

{you design, they print}

Ephemera Press is one of my favorite custom letterpress design studios, and they're now offering print-only services to creative brides and grooms who want to truly personalize their wedding stationery by designing it themselves.

Now, this option is probably best for brides and grooms with at least some background in design, but if you need a bit of help, Ephemera Press is also happy to provide some limited design consultation. If you think this would be a good fit for you, contact Ephemera Press to submit an inquiry and get started.
