Textile Inspired Gift Wrap | Wild Ink Press

Wild Ink Press (booth #2071) has many, many fantastic new paper goodies making their debut at the National Stationery Show this year. I am so excited that they’re introducing a collection of textile-inspired patterned gift wrap – yay, awesome gift wrap! And Wild Ink will also be debuting two new letterpress card collections – Idioms and Quotations – as well as a new letterpress calendar and notepads.

The Idioms card series includes clever cards that have fun little lines like “no one measures up to you” and “another birthday? piece of cake”, with simple hand-drawn illustrations that coordinate with each idiom:

And the Quotations card series features quotes from noteworthy people and fun die-cut windows that give you a peek at the hand drawn illustration that’s revealed, along with the rest of the quote, when you open the card. Love it!

Aurelie Guilerey for 1973

I am completely smitten with these awesome illustrated greeting cards by Aurelie Guilerey for 1973. I love the retro style and texture, and I’m thinking that these cards would make wonderful little framed art pieces, too.

You can check out all of the available card designs over in the 1973 shop, and have a look at more of Aurelie’s fantastic illustrations right here.

Letterpress Art Print | Tag Team Tompkins

It’s always a great “paper day” for me when Tag Team Tompkins introduces new designs, and their four new letterpress art prints are absolutely lovely. The new prints feature Tag Team Tompkins’ trademark blend of letterpress, papercutting, and hand drawn calligraphy, as well as quotes that inspire happiness, love, and passion. What a wonderful way to welcome spring!
