I’m already an enormous fan of Claudia’s gift wrap collection and didn’t think it was even possible to up the ante this much, kudos! Do not miss all of their new designs, cards and custom too, debuting in BOOTH No. 1771.

I’m pleased to report that Crow and Canary’s debut at the National Stationery Show was a smashing success, so much so that I didn’t get a moment away from my own booth that didn’t include eating a frenzied lunch or visiting the washroom. A wonderful dilemma to have, but I must admit that I’m still in mourning that I wasn’t able to walk the show a bit. Luckily, I’ve been able to live vicariously through some other great blogger’s coverage – that helps ease the sting a bit.

Smock has really pulled out all of the stops with these latest DIY tutorials showcasing their luxe bamboo gift wrap. How amazing are those bows? I seriously can’t wait to try both of these projects!

12 days of holiday cheer: kate’s papergoods {no. 8}

December 15, 2011  /  gift wrap, holiday



How clever are these chalkboard gift tags from Kate’s Papergoods? I would love to embellish my holiday gifts with the large gold arrow tags! Also, digging Kate’s two illustrated calendars, both feature color themed objects and would look great framed.

I delight in spying new gift wrap designs at NSS each year. I’m a firm believer that half of gift giving is the effort of wrapping it up in a fun way. Eieio Studio always has some great designs, unfortunately I didn’t capture any photos at the show. Who am I missing? Would love to hear about more lines with great wrap offering…

Banquet Workshop is another lovely line making their debut at the Stationery Show this year. I’m quite looking forward to checking out this Vancouver, BC based company’s prints, cards and gift wrap in person. They are exhibiting in booth no. 1452, if you’re interested in doing the same.

I must confess, I was much heavier on the chatting and not so much with the photos this year. I had an amazing time, only wish that I could have been two or maybe ten places at once…
———————————————————————————–
Here are a few additional favorites that I wish I had photographed while at the Stationery Show:


Chewing the Cud >>> Their fabric wraps are unique and totally eco-chic. {image via chewing the cud}


Smock Paper >>> Everyone’s a fan of this luxe, did I mention double-sided, paper. Word on the street is that they’re introducing gift boxes…
{image via smock paper}


Eieio >>> This company is known for their exquisite, modern wrap. Have you seen their new 18 sheet hanging collection yet?

Sanna Annukka>>> The lovely and equally paper-crazed, Molly turned me on to this talented Finnish designer right before I left for NYC. I’m smitten. {image via nineteenseventythree}

wrapper’s delight

My mom essentially groomed me to be a bonafide gift wrap junkie. She always took such care in wrapping packages no matter what the contents, even as a kid I had to admire the presentation before ripping into the box. Remember the old adage, “it’s the thought that counts”? I prefer to say: “It’s the presentation that counts.”
