she’s SO creative indeed!  you know i adore stationery and can get lost in a a greeting card store for HOURS – hootin’ and gigglin’ and gettin’ sentimental over the amazing words of greeting card writers.   and i get especially giddy when i find something that’s super clever and fun.  behold the Salad Dressing Card.

she’s so clever too!  and the illustrations are fun and sweet.  kinda snarky, snicker-worthy-fun, and all whimsy.  and the font choices are winning….i love the one word in script.  i’ve always been drawn to that particular style.    plus there are cards for every conceivable occasion – and i really think this holiday card is awesome.

i can’t even remember how i found Kiki Parry’s website – but when i did, i knew i hit comedy gold.  it was my husbands 1st father’s day and she had the perfect card.  i also found the card that epitomized a friend of mine – and her fabulous hair.  and then the 1 year  old card – that’s really for the mom. 

when i get around to opening my stationery store – Alternate Greetings will be there.   clever, relatable, sweet & funny….all the recylced love we’ve come to expect….and clean, modern design.

 

check out her offerings – you will be glad you did.

(and yes – i’ll be posting about items other than stationery this week – i’ve just been on a kick in honor of the NSS).

wish maker, wish maker, make me a wish!  make sure it’s fun!  and to-tall-y green!

(your wish is granted).

remember those foldy-uppy things we made in elementary school (it was a 70’s thing – not sure about you younger peeps)? and you could find the name of your future husband and how many dozen kids you’d have?  well jacki paper has re-imagined them in modern, bright hues with fun wishes.  it’s kidhood recycled (that’s their motto – and it’s very clever).

 

i didn’t realize how much i loved JackiPaper!  i have been buying her cards for years and loving the colorful paper and trips down memory lane.

i imagine these wish makers would be a hit at any store.  and even better – they are made from recycled paper leaving more trees to climb:

• 100% recycled, 50% post-consumer
• processed chlorine-free
• printed with 100% wind power credits
• soy – and veggie-based ink
• packaged in compostable sleeves from plants
• printed locally in their back yard (that’s so cool!)
• battery-free fun for the whole family

come see them at the NSS  (May 17 – 20th, booth #1936)- they’re offering FREE fun (and shipping w/ cc orders).  Retails for $7, an easy $100 minimum order.

just typing the name  Old Tom Foolery makes me smile.  so catchy and rambunctious.  pure fun!  All their cards feature a typical sentiment with an “*” – which leads to a not-so-sappy one-liner.  the inside message is all up to you.  these are great for smart, clever customers with a wry sense of humor.

i LOVE their newest card idea….it could be YOURS!  they’re having a Finish the Footnote contest at the NSS (May 17 – 20th – Booth #1731) - where one lucky winner will have their snappy line made into a new card (and a $100 bucks in your pocket, nice).  Enter to win at their booth (and scoop up free totes and massages – yeah, baby). 

they’re offering a show special at the NSS and wanted to let you know that even if you can’t attend the show – you can still take advantage of their offer through June 15.  what do you get?  how about some free shipping!   Just mention “the Proprietress”.  Also – you can enter their contest on the website after the show (thank goodness for all of us who can’t attend).
