<p>So I&#8217;ve finally sorted through at least part of my <a href="http://www.nationalstationeryshow.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">National Stationery Show</a> photos — perfect timing, as I&#8217;m beginning to work on the <a href="https://stationerytrends.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Stationery Trends</a> Fall issue, the focus of which is design. And I am finding myself dazzled all over again by these graphic finds!</p>
<p>First up we have <a href="http://hartfordprints.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Hartford Prints</a>, a range well worth getting acquainted with.</p>

<p>These finds from Paper Bandit Press are a little deco, awash in color — and all letterpressed.<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-10633" src="http://thepaperchronicles.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/paperbandit-copy.jpg" alt="paperbandit copy" width="700" height="408" /></p><div class="inline-post clearfix"><div class="see-also byline">See also</div><div id="block-wrap-51928" class="block-wrap-native block-wrap block-wrap-23 block-css-51928 block-wrap-classic columns__m--1 elements-design-3 block-ani block-skin-0 tipi-box block-wrap-thumbnail ppl-m-1 clearfix" data-id="51928" data-base="0"><div class="tipi-row-inner-style clearfix"><div class="tipi-row-inner-box contents sticky--wrap"><div class="block block-23 clearfix"><article class="tipi-xs-12 clearfix with-fi ani-base tipi-xs-typo split-1 split-design-1 loop-0 preview-thumbnail preview-23 elements-design-3 post-10004375 post type-post status-publish format-standard has-post-thumbnail hentry category-off-the-press tag-audrey-woollen tag-barbara-mooney tag-best-use-of-profanity tag-chelsea-shukov tag-coronacards tag-coronavirus tag-covid-19 tag-daisys-mercantile tag-dan-richards tag-daniel-collier tag-finch-and-fleur tag-gca tag-girl-w-knife tag-gold-foil tag-hitchcock-creative tag-inklings-paperie tag-kb-paperie tag-kitty-meow-boutique tag-letterpress tag-most-beautiful-card tag-most-encouraging-card tag-noted tag-noted-noted-product-awards tag-paper-e-clips tag-sarah-schwartz tag-stationery-blog tag-stationery-design tag-stationery-designer tag-story-knight tag-sugar-paper tag-the-greeting-card-association tag-the-paper-chronicles tag-things-by-bean tag-tory-wright tag-urbanic-paper-boutique tag-uwp-luxe" style="--animation-order:0"><div class="preview-mini-wrap clearfix"><div class="mask"><a href="https://thepapernerd.com/noted-noted-finalists-2-of-3/" class="mask-img"><img width="100" height="100" src="https://i0.wp.com/thepapernerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/paper-hugs.jpg?resize=100%2C100&;ssl=1" class="attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="" srcset="https://i0.wp.com/thepapernerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/paper-hugs.jpg?w=800&;ssl=1 800w, https://i0.wp.com/thepapernerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/paper-hugs.jpg?resize=150%2C150&;ssl=1 150w, https://i0.wp.com/thepapernerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/paper-hugs.jpg?resize=770%2C770&;ssl=1 770w, https://i0.wp.com/thepapernerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/paper-hugs.jpg?resize=200%2C200&;ssl=1 200w, https://i0.wp.com/thepapernerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/paper-hugs.jpg?resize=350%2C350&;ssl=1 350w, https://i0.wp.com/thepapernerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/paper-hugs.jpg?resize=460%2C460&;ssl=1 460w, https://i0.wp.com/thepapernerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/paper-hugs.jpg?resize=570%2C570&;ssl=1 570w, https://i0.wp.com/thepapernerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/paper-hugs.jpg?resize=24%2C24&;ssl=1 24w, https://i0.wp.com/thepapernerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/paper-hugs.jpg?resize=48%2C48&;ssl=1 48w, https://i0.wp.com/thepapernerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/paper-hugs.jpg?resize=96%2C96&;ssl=1 96w, https://i0.wp.com/thepapernerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/paper-hugs.jpg?resize=300%2C300&;ssl=1 300w" sizes="(max-width: 100px) 100vw, 100px" /></a></div><div class="meta"><div class="byline byline-2 byline-cats-design-4"><div class="byline-part cats"><a href="https://thepapernerd.com/category/off-the-press/" style="color:#b79b0d" class="cat">Off The Press</a></div></div><div class="title-wrap"><h3 class="title"><a href="https://thepapernerd.com/noted-noted-finalists-2-of-3/">Noted @ *Noted Finalists (2 of 3)</a></h3></div><div class="byline byline-3"><span class="byline-part date"><i class="tipi-i-calendar" aria-hidden="true"></i> <time class="entry-date published dateCreated flipboard-date" datetime="2020-04-22T13:48:16+00:00">April 22, 2020</time></span><span class="byline-part likes-count"><a href="#" class="tipi-like-count " data-pid="10004375"><span class="likes-heart"><i class="tipi-i-heart-o" aria-hidden="true"></i><i class="tipi-i-heart" aria-hidden="true"></i></span><span class="tipi-value">0</span></a></span></div></div></div></article></div></div></div></div></div></tipimidc>
<p>These days I can&#8217;t send out a letter without putting some fun washi tape on the back — and these from <a href="http://smartypantspaper.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Smarty Pants Paper Co.</a> are most enticing!<br />

<p>Finally, how great are these prints — plus new calendars — from <a href="http://gingiber.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Gingiber</a>? I can&#8217;t get enough of these fun flora &; fauna.<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-10631" src="http://thepaperchronicles.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/gingiber-copy.jpg" alt="gingiber copy" width="700" height="709" /></p>
