I hope that you’ve been enjoying my posts about the National Stationery Show this week, and I’m a little sad that I’m just about done. But don’t worry, there are still plenty of paper cravings coming your way. Today I’m wrapping things up all things stationery show with the second part of my holiday card picks. And, if you missed it, check out part one for more festive greetings.

I’m wrapping up my show posts today and tomorrow with a two part series on one my absolute favorite categories of paper goods, holiday cards!

Some of my favorite holiday cards were from Egg Press; they had so many great designs in more non-traditional or twist-on-traditional color palettes. Love the pop of black on the die cut ornament cards:

I always get a kick out of Fisk & Fern’s colorful, illustrated greetings, and seeing them all on display in one place made me one happy paper lover:

Such a sweet love-themed greeting from Rifle Paper:

Two Paperdolls had a bunch of wonderful new cards, including a collection that was rockin’ a navy, reddish orange and lime yellow color palette and a fun, guy-friendly line, too:

Plane Paper’s laser-cut cards were real standouts. Some of my favorites from their collection were these patterned note cards:

One of the first cards that I saw at the show, Orange Twist’s “You’re Right Honey” card stuck with me:

Egg Press had so much great pattern and color going on in their booth, and these birthday cards were some of my favorites:

I was totally gaga for this letterpress love card by Fancy Seeing You Here:

And these aren’t exactly cards, but how could I not give a mention to these awesome mullet coasters by Paisley Tree Press? Hee!
