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!

Mid-Century Modern Gift Wrap | Norman's Printery

Norman’s Printery has SO many fantastic wrapping papers available in their shop, and these mid-century modern gift wrap designs are amongst my absolute favorites. The bold, vintage-colored patterns will make any package stand out from the crowd, and the kraft paper backdrop adds a warm tone and a modern twist to the vintage-inspired designs.

It’s just about National Stationery Show time again! This year I’ll be there in spirit but, in reality, I’ll be up to my ears in moving boxes in preparation for an out-of-state move the following week (more on that later). However, even though I won’t be walking the aisles of this year’s show, I’m still as excited as ever to share a few peeks at some of the new paper goodies that will be on display!

Hammerpress (booth #1763) will be showcasing some amazing new items, including patterned gift wrap and a hand drawn badge series, both of which are beckoning, “Kristen, buy us as soon as you can” :
