National Stationery Show Scavenger Hunt Kicks off Tomorrow!

The National Stationery Show begins tomorrow, May 17th. Stop by any of the exhibiting booths for a checklist to begin the search! Once you have successfully visited and collected the designers post cards, head over to the Legion booth (#2774) to stash your cards away and collect the post cards of the participants that couldn't make it to the show this year. 

Greeting from: Lady Pilot Letterpress from North Carolina using Plike, Blackbird Letterpress from Louisiana using Savoy, and Life is Funny Press from Sant Monica using Arturo.

BINGO Papers...Round Three

Almost all the tokens have arrived for the NSS 2013 BINGO FOR TWO promo project.  Now we go through the process of collating.  Here are some that just came in:

BINGO Papers...Round One

With 32 different chips, the BINGO FOR TWO project allows for fantastic designs on a variety of fine art papers. There was only one parameter: The chips must be designed within a 2"x2" frame - everything else was fair-game.

Board for BINGO

Design? Check.

Creativity? Double Check.

Talent? Triple Check.  

Paper? BINGO!!!

As you pick up all the components for the BINGO FOR TWO at this year's Stationery Show, you'll notice all the chips printed on different substrates. Some of them you've probably heard about, but we're certain there will be quite a few new papers to savor.

As a fine art paper supplier we try to encourage paper lovers to experiment and try something new. For many (most) of the printers and designers involved in the BINGO project, this was their first time using their selected paper. And once you see the results, we think you'll agree how spectacular the paper performed.

Let's start with a key component:The BINGO boards were designed by Fig.2 Design and printed by DWRI Letterpress on Crane's Lettra Cover Fluorescent.  Here are some production shots taken by Dan at DWRI:
