New Packaging
In preparation for the National Stationery Show, I’ve redesigned the packaging for my pins, magnets, pocket mirrors, and bookplates.
The size I use is 2.75″ x 4.25″, but to save money I ordered them 4-up on a 5.5″ x 8.5″ postcard. I have a ream cutter, so 5 minutes of work saved me $300.
That’s just part of the stack!
OK. One more item checked off the to-do list. *whew*

Your packaging is so chic! I love it!
i can’t wait to see all your pretty things at the NSS! Yay!
beautiful design. do you print them yourself? If so, what kind of printer do you use? I’m always looking for recommendations on printers.
Very nice.
Can you tell me about your ream cutter? I’m shopping for one right now, and would love to have an actual user’s review.
Thanks so much!

can we see a photo of how they are put together? do you put them into a plastic sleeve? I really like the design!
Sometimes I print things myself (I have an Epson R1800), but I sent these out to be done.
Lib, I love my ream cutter! I bought it on eBay from chicagojohnde. I have the QCM-1200E.
Amy – I’ll take a photo soon! I’m not sure if I’ll have time today or not, but I have some new designs I need to photograph anyway. :)
Those are really stunning. You do beautiful work! Good luck at the show. :-)
So pretty! Much luck for the show!

I would buy your products JUST FOR THE packaging alone. Wow.

Gorgeous packaging, you’ve got great taste and am amazing eye for detail. Very inspiring!
Those look fantastic. I am seriously in awe of your talent!
OMG, look at YOUR blog and website! A woman after my own heart! Thank you for visiting my site and for your words of encouragement. I have only been in the blogging world for just over a week and I feel like I have just moved into my uni dorm and everyone is making me feel so welcome (uni was 25 years ago by the way…ahhhh!). Your blog is just inspirational and soooo my taste. I will link to you and visit daily…just when do I feed the children, do the washing, run my business? I can’t pry myself away from everyones blogs… loving it! Best Wishes, A-M
Very pretty! I love using ream cutters. There is something satisfying about cutting through a huge stack of papers…
Adorable! Really makes me want to revamp my packaging!
I guess that ream cutter really paid for itself (whenever you bought it) if it just saved you more than it cost with this one job!
so darling! you’ve got a knack for this sort of thing!
Really cute packaging! I love all those straight cuts & stacks & stacks. (it’s an illness – LOL!)
hum, ream cutter. i think i need to put that on my to get list. or to research list. :) your packaging looks sooo lovely! great job!

You are living my dream. OMG. Getting to the point of exhibiting at the National Stationery Show is a dream of mine. It would be interesting to hear how you got to that point. Lessons learned, taking the leap, etc.
