<p class="p1"><span class="s1">I first came across <a href="http://www.colleenattara.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Colleen Attara Studio</a> while judging the LOUIE Awards last winter. Since judging is blind, I had no idea who the designer was but I found her stitched style so distinctive and fresh, while her verbiage is most poignant — a winning equation for any emerging range. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Then I got to meet Colleen at last year&#8217;s <a href="http://www.nationalstationeryshow.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">National Stationery Show</a> and see more of her beguiling mixed media collages that are by turns quirky, wise, clever and inspiring. I love that the more you look, the more you see.</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Colleen just introduced another 10 cards. &#8220;</span><span class="s1">I especially love &#8216;navigate,'&#8221; the first card below, she told me. &#8220;I so enjoy designing cards for those times when there are no words. I have been there a few times and I would have loved a card like navigate in my mailbox.&#8221;</span><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-12099" src="http://thepaperchronicles.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/cattara_navigate-tpc-072-.jpg" alt="cattara_navigate tpc #072" width="800" height="1120" /> <img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-12096" src="http://thepaperchronicles.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/cattara_birthday-girl-tpc-075.jpg" alt="cattara_birthday girl tpc #075" width="800" height="1120" /> <img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-12093" src="http://thepaperchronicles.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/cattara_baggage-tpc-074.jpg" alt="cattara_baggage tpc #074" width="800" height="1120" /> <img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-12095" src="http://thepaperchronicles.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/cattara_beach-house-tpc-077.jpg" alt="cattara_beach house tpc #077" width="800" height="1120" /> <img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-12097" src="http://thepaperchronicles.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/cattara_celebration-tpc-076.jpg" alt="cattara_celebration tpc #076" width="800" height="1120" /> <img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-12098" src="http://thepaperchronicles.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/cattara_giddy-tpc-071.jpg" alt="cattara_giddy tpc #071" width="800" height="1120" /> <img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-12100" src="http://thepaperchronicles.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/cattara_no-filter-tpc-073.jpg" alt="cattara_no filter tpc #073" width="800" height="1120" /> <img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-12102" src="http://thepaperchronicles.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/cattara_treasured-friend-tpc-080.jpg" alt="cattara_treasured friend tpc #080" width="800" height="1120" /></p><div class="inline-post clearfix"><div class="see-also byline">See also</div><div id="block-wrap-56193" class="block-wrap-native block-wrap block-wrap-23 block-css-56193 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="56193" 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-4958 post type-post status-publish format-standard has-post-thumbnail hentry category-favorites tag-corinna-vangerwen tag-corrina-wraps tag-gift-horse-co tag-sarah-schwartz tag-the-paper-chronicles" style="--animation-order:0"><div class="preview-mini-wrap clearfix"><div class="mask"><a href="https://thepapernerd.com/what-im-liking-this-week-gift-horse-co/" class="mask-img"><img width="100" height="100" src="https://i0.wp.com/thepapernerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/GiftHorseAndCo-Spring2014-2.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/2014/06/GiftHorseAndCo-Spring2014-2.jpg?resize=150%2C150&;ssl=1 150w, https://i0.wp.com/thepapernerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/GiftHorseAndCo-Spring2014-2.jpg?resize=200%2C200&;ssl=1 200w, https://i0.wp.com/thepapernerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/GiftHorseAndCo-Spring2014-2.jpg?resize=293%2C293&;ssl=1 293w, https://i0.wp.com/thepapernerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/GiftHorseAndCo-Spring2014-2.jpg?resize=75%2C75&;ssl=1 75w, https://i0.wp.com/thepapernerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/GiftHorseAndCo-Spring2014-2.jpg?resize=390%2C390&;ssl=1 390w, https://i0.wp.com/thepapernerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/GiftHorseAndCo-Spring2014-2.jpg?resize=24%2C24&;ssl=1 24w, https://i0.wp.com/thepapernerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/GiftHorseAndCo-Spring2014-2.jpg?resize=48%2C48&;ssl=1 48w, https://i0.wp.com/thepapernerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/GiftHorseAndCo-Spring2014-2.jpg?resize=96%2C96&;ssl=1 96w" 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/favorites/" style="color:#b79b0d" class="cat">Favorites</a></div></div><div class="title-wrap"><h3 class="title"><a href="https://thepapernerd.com/what-im-liking-this-week-gift-horse-co/">What I&#8217;m Liking This Week: Gift Horse &#038; Co.</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="2014-06-17T13:52:36+00:00">June 17, 2014</time></span><span class="byline-part likes-count"><a href="#" class="tipi-like-count " data-pid="4958"><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>
