Happy 2017, everyone! I’m trying to get back into the swing of things after the holiday break and am excited to be able to share some of the craveable, non-holiday paper goods that caught my eye while I was in the swirl of holiday paper posts.

If you love embroidery, then you’ve gotta check out the Happy Cactus Designs shop, where you’ll find beautiful, hand embroidered art, art prints, and home goods, as well as this collection of stationery, which features photo reproductions of Happy Cactus’ gorgeous, hand embroidered floral and botanical patterns. These cards make me want to break out my needle and thread and start stitching!

Fox & Fallow Spring / Summer ’16 Collections

May 09, 2016 // kristen // 0 replies

The National Stationery Show is less than a week away and, even though I won’t be there in person, I am SO excited just thinking about all of the wonderful paper goods that will be on display!

Stationers like Brisbane, Australia-based Fox & Fallow (booth #1545) are most certainly adding to my excitement, with three collections that will be launching at the show, including the awesome Summer Vibes collection, which features a perfect pastel palette, totally tubular geometric pattern, holographic foil details, and ’80s-inspired illustration. How rad is that calendar (above)?!

In addition to the Summer Vibes collection, Fox & Fallow will also be launching Aloha, which has a lovely, tropical vibe, and Totem, a must see for anyone who loves chic, modern paper goods. The full launch includes four calendars; beautiful, fabric covered journals plus a 2017 planner (Fox & Fallow’s first!); clip board packs that include super cool, engraved clipboards and cedar wood pencils; and an array of goodies with holographic foil details.

I’ve gathered just a few of my faves from the new collections below, and be sure to keep your eye out for all of the fantastic, new paper goods over on Fox & Fallow.

Greeting Cards For Autumn & Thanksgiving

November 02, 2015 // kristen // 0 replies

So, Halloween is over, which bums me out. But the good news is that there are still a few weeks left to do all of the apple cider drinking and leaf peeping that I want, so I can’t be too bummed. This greeting card roundup was inspired by the time that’s left in my most favorite of seasons, and we can’t forget that Thanksgiving, at least here in the U.S., is still to come. So, I added a few fabulous and festive Thanksgiving greetings, too. Here’s to the awesomeness that is autumn!

The Art of Living Card Collection from Kata Kiosk

April 13, 2015 // kristen // 0 replies

Kotryna Zukauskaite (aka Kata) is the founder and creative force behind Kata Kiosk, a Lithuania-based online shop with a focus on illustrated greeting cards, and their newest collection, “The Art of Living”, is filled with bright and sunny illustrations for all occasions.

I like that each of the 12 cards in this collection feature the same color palette of sunshine yellow, cherry red, powder blue, and navy. The colors alone will catch your eye, and the wonderful illustrations, which feature bouquets and wreaths of flowers and evoke a warm and cheerful feeling, will have you craving these lovely cards, which are perfect for any occasion or for no occasion at all. Psst … these cards would be great to have on hand for National Card & Letter Writing Month, and they would make a wonderful Mother’s Day gift, too!

In addition to their online shop on Etsy, Kata Kiosk goods are also available wholesale to small design, gift, and stationery shops worldwide.
