What's New from Studio 791

Springtime is upon us, and this Saturday I will have a booth at the Holy Cross Spring Craft Fair, in Springfield, PA.

This is my second craft show, following my November "debut" at the Mom-Hosted Holiday Bazaar.  I will be displaying some of the same kinds of crafts for sale, such as the popular Scrabble tile magnets (with lots of fun, new word choices available!) and jumbo embellished clothespins (with new paper tape designs!), as well as some new items, including embellished mini-chalkboards and stationery sets. 

Because I am so excited about my new stationery sets, I thought I would give you a sneak-peek at them on my blog today!

I think I am so excited about the sets because they incorporate all of the objects and elements that I most enjoy in my art and crafting--mail art, tag art, bookmarks, maps, graphic number and letter elements, stitched paper, postage stamps, and recycled art.

Each "Colorful Journey" Stationery Set includes 6 "Journey" gift tags, which are shipping labels embellished with a piece of map and a sentiment created with a Dymo label maker.  The tags are tied together with red and white baker's twine.  Some have simple sentiments like "XOXO" or "Miss You."  Other fun sentiments are "On the Road Again" and "Happy Trails."  Each set contains three tags with blue Dymo tape and three tags with red Dymo tape.

The stationery sets also include an Airmail Envelope Notebook, a paper tape bookmark, and a stitched card with an envelope.  I wish that I had taken photos of the stitched cards, but you can look at this previous post to see the kind of stitched paper I used to make them.

Also, the sets include one of my handmade envelopes with a stamped card insert, as well as a red "To/From" label to use with the envelope.

Lots of fun, don't you think?

I also spruced up my business cards to better reflect the spirit of my business, Studio 791, by adding a shipping tag and ribbon.

If you find yourself in south-eastern Pennsylvania this weekend, I hope you will stop by my table between 9 am and 3 pm!  I will be sharing a full report, of course, in the week following.
