One look at these cards and I’m guessing you’re in love, too. Belle & Union was hands-down my favorite new exhibitor at NSS this year, and though I fawned over practically every greeting card in turn, the thing I was most impressed with was how cohesive their collection was. B&U’s style is completely distinct and completely new, and I love it. Looks like the cards will be available in an online shop soon, so keep an eye here!

Today’s pick is very simple – just a silly little card from Alee & Press that satisfies my deep-seated desire for pun-tastic humor. Despite this, I loved it so much that it’s the only NSS find that I snapped a pic of and texted to someone while at the show. This one I sent to my Dad, knowing he loves clever/corny (depending on your perspective) humor as much as I do, if not more. I’m not actually sure what sort of occasion one would send this card for, but I love it nonetheless. Looks like Amanda hasn’t gotten the new greeting cards up on her site yet, so keep an eye out there!

For my second NSS 2012 pick, I bring you new cake toppers from Figs & Ginger! I love how they broke out famous lines and quotes into multi-piece toppers – so different and meaningful. These designs don’t seem to be available yet in their shop, but keep an eye out!

As some of you know, I was lucky enough to attend to the 2012 National Stationery Show in NYC a little while ago (part of my crazy week!). I thought it would be fun to share with you some of my favorite sights from the show, so this week I’ll be sharing my top five favorite paper picks!

Today’s pick is the new marriage certificates from Mr. Boddington’s Studio. The colorful design is super fun but still sophisticated. Better yet, because the calligraphy is hand-drawn but pre-printed (except for the personal details), they’re able to be really reasonably priced – just $30! I would totally snap one of these up for a wedding keepsake if I hadn’t already made our own marriage certificate. Pick one up here!
