<p>And we&#8217;re back! Oh my, do these folks from <a href="http://kramerdrive.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Kramer Drive</a> look fun — and I love that they used a photo card for a mailer. I think that&#8217;s the only one I&#8217;ve ever seen. Be ready to partyyyyyy in full color in booths 2641-3!</p>

<p>Dimension is good, especially on this <a href="http://ladyfingersletterpress.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Ladyfingers Letterpress</a> mailer. I love the color palette, and you just know booth 1864 will be fun! Plus the first 200 participants to fly by get a special <a href="http://www.sakuraofamerica.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Sakura</a> Pen Pack!</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-4617" src="http://thepaperchronicles.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/2014_Pre-ShowMailer1.jpg" alt="2014_Pre-ShowMailer1" width="1000" height="759" />I wish I could show you the kraft envelope on <a href="http://www.nearmoderndisaster.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Near Modern Disaster&#8217;</a>s mailer — it is the exact opposite of their name, addressed in black and adorned with five different stamps. Inside the folder held three cards — my favorite reads: You are a goddamm magical unicorn — and a little note. They&#8217;re debuting in booth 2168!</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-4618" src="http://thepaperchronicles.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/mailers01.jpg" alt="mailers01" width="640" height="640" />The mailer from Page Stationery (booths 2363+2365) has a lot of entertainment value within one mighty bellyband. &#8220;For us, NSS is our time to interact with the our retail partners and meet new friends, so we wanted our invitation to be fun and interactive,&#8221; the company&#8217;s Erica Caskey told me. The bingo cards, personalized with names, can be checked off as.you order. Get Bingo for 10% off your order! Meanwhile a word search is filled with new products, new capabilities and best-sellers; a red-foiled, Mad Libs-style Play to Win card can be completed and submitted to win a free album; and the world&#8217;s fanciest connect-the-dots has a gicleé image of the Empire State Building on the back.</p>

<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-4621" src="http://thepaperchronicles.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/NSSPreshow14-2_web.jpg" alt="NSSPreshow14-2_web" width="1200" height="800" />Black, white and a neon highlighter yellow is accessorized down to the Zazzle.com stamp on the mailer from Real Card Studio (booth 2834). The super-luxe, super-thick board has a black sheet between a white front and back, and oh my, that liner!</p>

<p>Suejeanko sent an adorable signed and numbered silkscreen print. I may even frame mine. It&#8217;s no surprise she is in #fresh, booth 1568.</p>

<p>Finally, <a href="http://thesocialtype.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">The Social Type</a> (Booth 2053) gives us the theme of the next few days — New York or bust! This is the first time I can recall seeing a marble paper combined with foil, and it&#8217;s most fetching.</p><div class="inline-post clearfix"><div class="see-also byline">See also</div><div id="block-wrap-15401" class="block-wrap-native block-wrap block-wrap-23 block-css-15401 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="15401" 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-10001603 post type-post status-publish format-standard has-post-thumbnail hentry category-off-the-press tag-clipboards tag-design tag-illustration tag-linen-wristlets tag-sarah-schwartz tag-shades-of-expression-designs tag-stationery tag-stationery-blog tag-stationery-design tag-stationery-designer tag-the-paper-chronicles tag-women-run-company tag-wristlets" style="--animation-order:0"><div class="preview-mini-wrap clearfix"><div class="mask"><a href="https://thepapernerd.com/summer-accessories-from-shades-of-expression/" class="mask-img"><img width="100" height="100" src="https://i0.wp.com/thepapernerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/KATEMAXWELLSTYLEDPHOTOGRAPHY-ETSYSHOPSTOCKPHOTOGRAPHS-008_edited-1.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/2019/06/KATEMAXWELLSTYLEDPHOTOGRAPHY-ETSYSHOPSTOCKPHOTOGRAPHS-008_edited-1.jpg?resize=150%2C150&;ssl=1 150w, https://i0.wp.com/thepapernerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/KATEMAXWELLSTYLEDPHOTOGRAPHY-ETSYSHOPSTOCKPHOTOGRAPHS-008_edited-1.jpg?resize=200%2C200&;ssl=1 200w, https://i0.wp.com/thepapernerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/KATEMAXWELLSTYLEDPHOTOGRAPHY-ETSYSHOPSTOCKPHOTOGRAPHS-008_edited-1.jpg?resize=24%2C24&;ssl=1 24w, https://i0.wp.com/thepapernerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/KATEMAXWELLSTYLEDPHOTOGRAPHY-ETSYSHOPSTOCKPHOTOGRAPHS-008_edited-1.jpg?resize=48%2C48&;ssl=1 48w, https://i0.wp.com/thepapernerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/KATEMAXWELLSTYLEDPHOTOGRAPHY-ETSYSHOPSTOCKPHOTOGRAPHS-008_edited-1.jpg?resize=96%2C96&;ssl=1 96w, https://i0.wp.com/thepapernerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/KATEMAXWELLSTYLEDPHOTOGRAPHY-ETSYSHOPSTOCKPHOTOGRAPHS-008_edited-1.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/summer-accessories-from-shades-of-expression/">Summer Accessories from Shades of Expression!</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="2019-06-06T13:17:19+00:00">June 6, 2019</time></span><span class="byline-part likes-count"><a href="#" class="tipi-like-count " data-pid="10001603"><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>Last up, <a href="http://www.legionpaper.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Legion Paper</a> is doing a really fun promotion project/scavenger hunt — this time 26 designers and letterpress shops created alphabet cards! Organized by Flywheel Press, here is the box and all the participants (along with the papers they used). Pick up the box in Legion&#8217;s booth #3330.</p>

<p>So clever. And below we have the absolutely awesome <a href="http://nationalstationeryshow.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">National Stationery Show</a> walking list. If you can&#8217;t tell, I&#8217;m so excited for another amazing edition of the show. So if you see me wandering the aisles, please do say hi — and TPC will be back the week of May 26 with brand-new posts!</p>
