<p>So I&#8217;ve finally sorted through at least part of my National Stationery Show 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-73146" class="block-wrap-native block-wrap block-wrap-23 block-css-73146 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="73146" 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-10004108 post type-post status-publish format-standard has-post-thumbnail hentry category-off-the-press tag-417-press tag-ampersand tag-ashwer-arden tag-cards tag-cardthartic tag-chez-gagne tag-elum-designs tag-greeting-cards tag-hallmark-cards tag-hazel-dolly tag-j-falkner tag-little-goat-paper-co tag-louie-awards tag-noted-noted-product-awards tag-paper-salad tag-paperspecs tag-papier-tigre tag-pixies-porcupines tag-plum-grove tag-roger-la-borde tag-sarah-schwartz tag-stationery tag-stationery-blog tag-stationery-design tag-stationery-designer tag-the-greeting-card-association" style="--animation-order:0"><div class="preview-mini-wrap clearfix"><div class="mask"><a href="https://thepapernerd.com/louie-judging-faves-notednoted-news/" class="mask-img"><img width="100" height="100" src="https://i0.wp.com/thepapernerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/IMG_5525.jpeg?resize=100%2C100&;ssl=1" class="attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="" srcset="https://i0.wp.com/thepapernerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/IMG_5525.jpeg?resize=150%2C150&;ssl=1 150w, https://i0.wp.com/thepapernerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/IMG_5525.jpeg?resize=200%2C200&;ssl=1 200w, https://i0.wp.com/thepapernerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/IMG_5525.jpeg?resize=24%2C24&;ssl=1 24w, https://i0.wp.com/thepapernerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/IMG_5525.jpeg?resize=48%2C48&;ssl=1 48w, https://i0.wp.com/thepapernerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/IMG_5525.jpeg?resize=96%2C96&;ssl=1 96w, https://i0.wp.com/thepapernerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/IMG_5525.jpeg?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/louie-judging-faves-notednoted-news/">LOUIE Judging Faves + Noted@*Noted News!</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="2020-04-03T15:10:38+00:00">April 3, 2020</time></span><span class="byline-part likes-count"><a href="#" class="tipi-like-count " data-pid="10004108"><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>
