Allison of The Social Type was recently featured on the Minted blog. Originally from Madison, Allison graduated from UW-Stevens Point and took her designing skills out to San Francisco. She teams up with friend Jessica to create fresh greetings and stationery that often win the Minted design challenges. Read their interview here.

Paper lovers, there’s a new store on Madison’s west side that’s worth checking out. A great little boutique called The Paper Deli that sells stationery, greeting cards, gifts, office accessories and even custom designed invitations. Need a last minute holiday card or gift? Stop by their store on Old Sauk Rd.

Have you ordered your holiday cards yet? Only 21 days left until Christmas! Lori at Marzipan is offering Studio Wisco fans 20% off now through December 31st! Yes, you heard it, 20% off your order – just enter “WISCO” when ordering. She not only has tons of designs to choose from, but she’s also a Wisconsin gal. And in addition to cards, she also has some new products such as bookplates and alphabet magnets. Check out Fin + Roe and Shades of Violet.

I normally just cover our fridge with all the beautiful holiday cards we receive. But this year, I’m tempted to display them in this Card Chandelier from Pottery Barn. What a great way to show off the assortment of designs without having to use a roll of tape or box of magnets. Then, in the off-season, I could hang photos or flowers above the dining table. Check it out here or visit Pottery Barn in Appleton, Madison or Wauwatosa.

While working at Fisher-Price, Kira Romashko-Thiel dreamed of launching her own line of paper goods. So, two years ago, that’s just what this Milwaukeean did. Working under the name of Tiara Tomato, this paper-obsessed gal pulls ideas from pages of vintage Vogue and Marie Claire, scraps of textiles, wallpaper, and ribbon. Since the launch of her handmade, eco-friendly company, her cards have gone on to win 6 prestigious Louie Awards and have an international following. Tiara Tomato cards and stationery can be found at tiaratomato.etsy.com and also in Anthropologie stores nationwide.
