Hello!Lucky
Letterpress greeting cards, thank you notes, DIY projects, free printables and craft inspiration.
Continuing with our favorite items from NSS, the above card from A. Favorite really appeals to our inner design geek, while this print (below) from Old School Stationers inspires us to turn off the computer and head straight for the kitchen!
Ink and Wit cards and tea towels feature Tara's adorable animal illustrations.
Along the same theme, we are coveting these animals from Enormous Champion something fierce!
Even though Rifle Paper Co is all over the blog-o-sphere, we couldn't resist posting about their debut at NSS. Adorable illustrations and hand lettering adorn cards, prints, stationery, and the super covet-able recipe box (above), complete with recipe cards, below (it will be available on their website soon).
We also loved the hilarious cards from our friends at Blue Barnhouse...
...and the beautiful fabric wraps (for wrapping gifts!) from Chewing the Cud.
Stay tuned for more of our favorites!
At this years National Stationery Show, we were honored and excited to participate in a booth community with three of our favorite designers - Egg Press, Hammerpress and EIEIO. Besides the camaraderie, treats and gossip, their work was incredibly inspiring! We especially loved the bus thank you card (above), gift wrap and calender (below) from Egg Press.
Fellow letterpress printers Hammerpress had some fantastic new journals, calenders and cards:
EIEIO had some great new wrapping paper, but unfortunately, we don't have any photos! Check it out here.
We're back from New York! The National Stationery Show was a whirlwind of new and old friends, fellow designers, bloggers and buyers from our favorite stores around the country, not to mention some incredible paper products! There was so much inspiring work from new designers and those who have been in the business for years. For our own booth, we were thrilled to introduce our new designs from Julia Rothman (above), Esther Aarts and yours truly.
We re-purposed the pom poms from Eunice and Daniel's wedding - they were a big hit!
We also got a chance to preview the cover of our new book, Handmade Weddings, from Chronicle Books. The book comes out this fall, and is available for pre-order here.
We added some decor with pink peonies and vintage bottles from the Brooklyn Flea (and candy for buyers and booth-workers!).
Julia's back! We've been conspiring with her on a line of kids birthday cards, featuring gentle giants and magnificent mermaids!
Riveting robots!
and unearthly unicorns!
These will be available for sale on our website soon.
Visit us at the National Stationery Show, booth # 1536.
May 16th – 19th from 9-6

Esther Aarts is an amazing Dutch illustrator who has done work for t-shirts, magazines, advertising and now...greeting cards! We recently collaborated with Esther on a couple cards for our Spring release and couldn't be happier with the results. For example, who doesn't love anthropomorphic beer steins cheers-ings themselves?! Or a cheerful Oompah band wishing you a happy birthday?!
See more of Esther's work here and here. These will be available for sale on our website soon.

We've been working round the clock to get ready for the National Stationery Show. We'll be releasing a bunch of new cards, as well as promoting our new book (more on that later)! As part of our new release, our old friend Sock Monkey Sam has been having some amazing adventures! See him navigate through the sky with a trusty mate (above), or leap buildings in a single bound (below)!
Rule benevolently over his loyal subjects....
...and perform amazing acts of sorcery!
These will be available for sale on our website soon.

For all those mother's out there (and those celebrating for the very first time!) - Happy Mother's day!
Cookin' Mom (above) and Mama Giraffe (below) from our Mother's day collection are available on our website and in stationery stores worldwide.
If you love cute tea towels as much as we do, then you will also love UK based To Dry For, an adorable collection of tea towels from some of our favorite designers like Rob Ryan, Darling Clementine and Donna Wilson.
See the entire collection here. Via Swiss-miss.
Is your dog really a dapper gent just waiting to express himself? Then this hilarious dog toy may be just the thing to let him show his true nature! If you don't have a canine friend to mock, perhaps try our human version - fun for kids and adults alike! Made by Because We Can for Eunice and Daniel's wedding, these mustaches are perfect for the dapper gent in all of us.
We are smitten with the adorable needlepoint pieces from Miniature Rhino - would they make the cutest wedding gift!?
The heart sampler (above) would be perfect with our Big Day wedding suite!
Visit the Miniature Rhino etsy shop here.
We do have BIG NEWS!! We've recently relaunched our baby collection and they are now available online - yippee! Each card is digitally printed on premium, FSC-certified 100% recycled cardstock. Click here to see them all!
Scottish designer Donna Wilson is one of our new faves. We are endlessly inspired and amused by her fabulous homewares, quirky dolls, and handpainted ceramic dogs!
As avid knitters, we love her wonderful knitted creatures - this here is Rosie who, apparently, likes ladybirds and rainbow beetles, dislikes being on her own.
The guy on the right (above) is Harry Hairy Head. He likes Roller Discos and Cherry Cola. Hilarious!
We are seriously coveting this knitted pouf too!
Some of her housewares...we want them all! Check out her blog , Leaves and Twigs for more!
We've gotten a number of inquiries about the playing cards from Eunice and Daniel's wedding. Designed by Eunice, they were given out as favors for wedding guests. There are a handful left and we've put them up for sale on our website. Perfect for a rousing match of Go Fish! Available here.
Have a nice Easter!
Sock Monkey Easter card available here.
And we've got some new Valentine's designs to boot!

Just in time for the holidays! We just added these adorable gift tags to our site, inspired by one of our clients! Above, Owls.
Traveling Mice -- also available in blue
Prices start at $50 for 25 personalized tags (printed on premium textured label stock).
Happy gift-giving!!
We've been seeing quite a few fantastic holiday cards come across our desks -- some of them just make us laugh out loud, like this one!! Ah, the unfettered joy of the holiday season! (Thanks to the Clancy's for sharing!)
Another of our faves is this fantastic montage by Good on Paper's Lisa Wong Jackson! Love the oven outfit (as in "bun in the") and that dog is too darn cute!
The designs shown above are: Cut Paper Christmas and Vintage Doves. Enjoy!
