our story
W E L C O M E T O t h e 6 . 2 5 Pa p e r 2 0 1 6 C ATA L O G about our staff we are paper people. perfectly bound, fabric journals make us cry; thick, recycled papers make us swoon, and the smell of a new pencil shipment inspires us to create. also, we’re really freaking fun to be around and hope you will find the humor in our products intriguing, cheeky and possibly just slightly over the line. the number one goal in our own store is to hear our customers laugh (and laugh ... and sometimes gasp). we hope your customers will enjoy these new products as much as ours do! About the designer – abbey fowler With a background in photography and magazine layout (stationery trends, holla!), my talents reside in composition and art direction. i rarely illustrate, but have had the opportunity to collaborate with very talented designers. You will read about each of them in the pages to come. i opened our retail store in fall 2011. Since then, it’s grown in size, location and staff ... pretty much the best staff one could ask for! Be jealous. {Shown below, left to right: Jaime Johnson, Abbey Fowler, tarah carnahan,
‘
Susan Scherphorn and Kerianne Sherwood}
We are lucky enough to test new products with our own customers before adding them to the line – improving designs and weeding out the less popular cards as we have direct conversations (and laughs) with shoppers.
what’s inside this year, our catalog is inspired by strong women. With an air of feminism in our country, it’s impossible to be a female leader without feeling a surge of empowerment, excitement and a drive to support other women in their journey. i work to do this with my lovely staff every single day, which has inspired our new product (see ‘her calendar’ on page 6) that will hopefully provide the same enthusiasm to your female customers. Our aesthetic holds strong - we love gray; mustard; organic, recycled envelopes; masculine design (see ‘his correspondence’ on page 28) and especially making people laugh. You will find some great new offersing in our popular Actually line (page 12) and hand-lettering line (page 20). We are also eager to share our chipboard postcards (page 22) and new – already quite popular – presidential candidate cards (page 4). we don’t take anything too seriously. Enjoy!

about the artist
«
’ Johnson’s illustrations and designs have emerged out of Jaime
a desire to bring whimsy and joy to her local community, using art to bolster city-wide events and local businesses. Fueled by a sweet temperament and maybe a local micro-brew, this photographer by trade, and budding midwest graphic artist certainly shows no limits to her creativity. Her unique talents are ALSO SEEN in the Lettering of the beer cards on page 10 and illustratin’ tote on page 40.
