Black Friday + Cyber Monday and the Holiday Rush!

Hello from the future! If you're a designer or anyone creating stationery or consumer based products it often feels like we are living anywhere from 3 to 6 calendar months before the general population. If you follow us on Instagram you know we were joking about this just recently. And if you aren't following us on Instagram, why not?! Follow Us here. But really, you have to be prepped and ready months in advance.  So friends, who's ready for Black Friday + Cyber Monday (BFCM) and the Holiday rush?!  I had the opportunity to sit in on a quick webinar hosted by Klaviyo...

A parting thought from your biggest fan.

I'm writing this post the week before I retire from StationeryHQ and my life as a professional in the creative world. I announced my retirement on LinkedIn a few days ago and gave a well deserved shout-out to some people who had a big impact on my career.

The first card I ever "sent" was when I was 3 years old, with a drawing of a caterpillar on the front. I gave it to...

The realities of owning a business are challenging at times and also totally kickass at times. There's a story of overcoming something behind every entrepreneur. I spoke about this subject with industry expert Sarah Schwartz, editor-in-chief of Stationery Trends magazine and the brains behind ThePaperNerd.com - click here to learn about some of the trials that some fierce women faced and how they keep going forward.

Fall 2024: What's Trending and Do We Really Care?

I've kept a close eye on trends for all of my 30+ years in the design world. What I've learned is that it starts with fashion – which is usually way ahead of home, gifts and stationery. For example, if peacock feathers are on the runway in 2025 we'll see peacocks on throw pillows and cards by about 2027. As someone who prides herself on creating original ideas (or at least original takes on old ideas), I feel like if we all get on board with trends then everything looks the same. On the flip side, buyers love whatever is...
