national stationery show meetup 2011

I’m coming out of hibernation (deadlines, deadlines, deadlines are killing me!) to let you know that the 7th annual National Stationery Show (NSS) meetup is happening Tuesday, May 17th, 2011 in New York, so please save the date. This year I’m organizing the meetup with Brooklyn Bride, Cat Seto, and Paper + Cup. I’m so looking forward to catching up with everyone in New York for Design Week 2011! Details will follow soon … we’re still trying to find the most perfect location. 

real wedding: pacific beach bloom save the dates

I love seeing how clients make our designs their own. Above: two versions of Pacific Beach Bloom save the date design. Coming very soon ... 15 new save the date designs, plus some other fun party goodies.

new delphine digital design: tropical luggage tag

One of the reasons we like digital printing is the ability to flood the background with a fun color, like in this tropical "luggage tag" save the date. Another reason? The price ... this one retails for less than $3 each!

lovely correspondence: fun return address stamps

I saw PJ's fun new return address stamps at the National Stationery Show last May and couldn't stop playing with them. You can pick your ink color, they are self-inking and not messy, and come in a bunch of styles and ink colors. Plus they're only $40. And they have a cute pink handle. Hello, ADORABLE! This would be a great way to dress up save the date envelopes or you could even use them on the front of response envelopes. You can check them out here.

contest: win 150 delphine save the dates

I'm so excited to announce that Nole at Oh So Beautiful Paper is hosting a super huge delphine giveaway. You can win 150 lettepress save the dates (by delphine, of course). Please visit Oh So Beautiful Paper for contest rules and details.

The letterpress design shown here is our Savannah style. The save the date was inspired by the cute little yellow butterflies that flutter around Georgia and the South Carolina lowcountry.

Good luck to everyone. Contest entries are due Friday. Thanks, Nole, for hosting such a wonderful contest. I can't wait to see all the entries!

new from charleston collection: acorns

Here's a sneak peek at one of our newest designs: Acorns. Of course you can substitute the acorn motif for any one of our little critters or icons, or even a monogram. But I think the acorns are perfect for a sweet & simple woodland affair!
