Printerette Press (booth #1467) is another fantastic shop making its debut at the Stationery Show this year, and I’m stoked to be able to share some of the new Printerette letterpress goodies that will be making their debut. Amongst the lovely letterpress greetings and note cards in the Printerette booth, you’ll also find a new custom stationery line featuring five designs. Sounds like there will be lots of good stuff going on at booth #1467!

Coral + Grey Letterpress Wedding Invites

May 10, 2011 // kristen // 2 replies

Ooh, ready for some gorgeous invitations? This romantic suite was created by Salt + Pepper Press (photos by Sarah Q Photography) for Katie and Blake’s mid-April wedding, which took place on the lush grounds of the University of Texas Golf Club, and I’m completely enamored with all of the gorgeous coral and grey letterpress paper goods that were a part of this celebration.

The invitation suite features lovely calligraphy, and the invite and rsvp were tied together with baker’s twine and finished with a tag featuring a quote by Alfred, Lord Tennyson. The romantic coral and grey color scheme was carried through to all of the paper details, including patterned table numbers, menus, and cookie signs.

Student Work : Jess Riddle’s Hatch Show Print Invitations

May 10, 2011 // kristen // 1 replies

I’m really digging the exploration of type and color in these Hatch Show Print event invitations by Jess Riddle, a senior at the University of Delaware and intern at the font-tastic House Industries. Jess designed the invites, which are printed on wood, in five different color schemes, and each design features a different mix imagery in its own bold color palette. Of course, my favorite is the fuchsia and navy blue design shown above. Still lovin’ the navy blue!

Stationery Show 2011 Sneak Peek : Wildhorse Press

May 09, 2011 // kristen // 0 replies

I have a case of the sads because I won’t be able to make it to this year’s National Stationery Show, but I’ll be celebrating the occasion in my own way over the next couple of weeks by sharing sneak peeks of some of the awesome paper goodies that will be making their debut at the show.

Wildhorse Press will be making their show debut this year in the lovely Ladies of Letterpress booths (booth# 2362, 2364, 2366, 2368), and their work is already making a splash in the stationery community; Wildhorse’s “Teepee Moving Postcard Set” has been selected as a finalist in the Best New Product competition in the Paper Style category at the show, and “Tooth Fairy Mail” has is also a finalist in the Lifestyle category. This new collection of letterpress cards and prints is so colorful and unique, and I’m looking forward to their online shop launch in June.
