A Peek Inside - Our Brainstorming Process!

It is certainly an exciting time for Haute Papier as we gear up for the 2012 National Stationery Show.  We thought we would show you a teeny tiny bit of how our new product R&D process works.  What you see above is a photo of what we call "The Board".  Well, it's actually a few boards, but you get the idea.  Nothing gets ink until it's decided on and not changing unless absolutely necessary.  This, of course, really means that something just doesn't work in the end.  Live and learn, right?!?  And below, "The Wall".  These are the finals and our true inspiration to keep on going until May.  Everything is look awesome and we can't wait to launch!

  

Happy Valentine's Day!

Happy Valentine's Day to you!  I've put my VERY LARGE box of bonbons away just to say how much I'm still swooning over our absolutely adorable Valentine's inspired coasters!  I love love love our conversation hearts - this is one of those designs that you like a lot on screen, but only truly melts your heart once they come off the letterpress.  Remember the ribbon post from last week?  Well, here's some of that gorgeous ribbon in action with our Pattern Love coasters packaged and ready to ship!  Okay, enough of the cheesy love innuendos - back to my box of chocolates!
