National Stationery Show

We are finally home from exhibiting in the National Stationery Show last week. We were blown away with how well the show went, and cannot wait for next year. It was so great to meet all the wonderful stationery lovers who attended the show and will now be carrying Plum Paper's products in their stores. Here is a little summary of the show set up and our experience there.

 The booth turned out to be pretty close to how I envisioned it all in my head. There are definitely things I would change for next time, but I was excited about how it came together in the end. We started with ugly curtains, cement floors, and a paper sign...we ended up with this.

Here is the wonderful Plum Paper team who slaved away to prepare for the show and build the booth. Love my husband for all his hard work and support.

 So many new faces to meet at the show. We are so excited for the new relationships we have with stores owners all over the country, and we are very excited for what is to come.

New Assorted Note Cards

So happy to share these new sets of note cards from Plum. Especially loving the neon envelopes. They will be for sale on our website soon individually and in an assorted pack of 12.

...YOU Cards

I am excited to share this new card collection from Plum. They are so simple, and yet, I am kind of obsessed with them. They will be in our shop soon, but until then, you can enjoy them here. I hope to be sharing many more new designs in the next few weeks to come. Plum Paper will be an exhibitor in the National Stationery Show coming up in May, so we have lots of new designs we are working on for it.

Etsy Shop Giveaway from Finding Sunday

I am very excited to share with you all a guest post and giveaway from Finding Sunday. My sister, Mindy (the talented writer of Finding Sunday), has opened up an Etsy shop so to celebrate she is offering a giveaway here on Plum. Check it out...

Hello Everyone!  Well, in case you don't already know, I am Plum Paper's sister.  Okay, really I am the sister of the girl who is the brain and the talent behind Plum Paper...the lovely Kristina Kardous.  I am sure you all enjoy reading her beautiful blog and perusing all of her amazing creations, just as I do.  Well, if you like her blog, you may or may not like my blog.  It’s nothing like Kristina’s blog…not as clean or pretty, but it’s a blog, and I like it.  There is really no rhyme or reason to it…just lots of random projects, activities and thoughts.  And, a lot of pictures of my little family.

Kristina and I like to bounce ideas off each other for our blogs, and just recently, Kristina encouraged me to start an etsy shop.   And now, folks, we are getting to the point of this post.

(Finally, I know!)

To celebrate the opening of my new shop, I am giving away a $25 shop credit.  Yay!

Here are some examples of some of the things you could choose from.

To see more, you can visit my shop, Finding Sunday.

And just for fun...

You guys all get to see the professional side of my sister here on this blog.  But, I just thought you should know that she actually is just a really big goofball (along with my other sisters).  Here ya go...

Well, that's all from me.  I would love to have you stop by my blog or my shop anytime.

Thanks!

Plum Valentine's Cards

Valentine's Day is almost here so Plum has some cute new card designs to share. They will be up in our shop soon, but here is a sneak peak at a few of them.

Winter DIY

Just because the holiday season is over doesn't mean your decorations have to be. With winter really just beginning, why not trade out your Christmas decorations for some beautiful DIY winter projects. I especially love anything pine cone since they are rather abundant here in Georgie...equaling a FREE project. Whether you are having a dinner party and need place settings, or just need a beautiful wreath on your door, I hope these projects can give you some ideas to keep the season decorations around a little longer.
