NSS Preview : Jacki Paper

Jacki Paper Wish Maker Cards

I always look forward to seeing what fun new cards Jacki Paper creates because they always evoke such warm childhood memories. At this year’s National Stationery Show, they will be launching The Wish Maker Collection, which features five new foldable 3D greeting cards reminiscent of the folded fortune teller games of years past. When I saw these cards, I was instantly taken back to junior high. Good times!

I’ve seen so many wonderful National Stationery Show previews this week that I decided to make today “NSS Preview Day” and feature a few sneak peeks for you. Hope you enjoy!

Organic Cotton Gift Wrap

First up are these lovely new letterpress goodies from Chewing the Cud. The new goodies include greeting cards, notebooks, invitations, and awesome recyclable cloth gift wrap (shown above), hand printed on 100% organic cotton with soy based inks.

// // 1 replies

The bold colors on this letterpress project (not to mention the awesome peacock illustrations), printed by Studio on Fire and designed by Sheraton Green from CSA Design, immediately caught my eye. Would you guess that these are wedding invitations? Oh, to be invited to this wedding and receive one of these invitations!

Fold Out Paper Rings

Laser Cut Paper Flower Rings

These paper rings are amazing, aren’t they? Part of a collection of fold out paper jewelry, each of the twelve ring designs represents a birth month flower. The designs are laser cut and engraved from textured white paper, and they were created in an “All Year Rings” sheet or individually as “Birthday Ring” greeting cards. The project was a collaboration between Tithi Kutchamuch and Nutre Arayavanish under the name of TT:NT. – found via d. sharp

National Stationery Show 2009 Exhibitor List

// // 10 replies
National Stationery Show

It’s almost time for the 2009 National Stationery Show, which starts this weekend at the Javits Convention Center in New York City. I won’t be attending this year, but if you’re a paper lover and you’re in the area, then you have to drop by to check out all of the beautiful paper goodies that will be on exhibit.

I’ve already seen a few sneak peaks — Yellow Owl Workshop and Sub-Studio over at design*sponge, and Elum at Style Me Pretty — and if these are any indication of the awesomeness that will be on display at the NSS this year, then you’d better brace yourself to be overcome by the paper cravings!

For those of you who will be attending the show, I’ve compiled the list below. These would be my must see booths if I were going to the show (and the show would have to last at least a week for me to get to all of them, I’m sure!), and I’m very thankful to all of you who have contacted me to let me know where you’re going to be. Have a great time, everyone!
