I had so much fun with my artisan soap list that I thought I’d do another – this time with paper goods! I found stationery artisans in 32 different states. If you have a favorite company in a state I missed, please let me know in the comments and I’ll add them to the list.
This shop just oozes Alabama pride! Two favorites on my wishlist: the “Be Still” wall hanging and the Explore Outdoors card set.
ALASKA // Wren and the Raven
Jordan’s beautiful illustrations make me want to visit Alaska! She makes everything from vinyl stickers to alphabet flash cards to notecards. This lupine one is a favorite.
ARIZONA // Turtle’s Soup
You’ve got to check out Melanie’s vinyl sticker collection – she has over 100 options! This kitty cupcake one is too cute.
CALIFORNIA // LoveLight Paper
LoveLight Paper donates a portion of their proceeds to ‘Kids Around the World’, “providing packaged meals that contain all the nutritional requirements for an undernourished child’s physical and mental development.” So cool.
COLORADO // Blue Sky Fine Art
Deb lives “in the beautiful mountains of Colorado and draw much of my inspiration from the landscape, flora and fauna of the area.” This wildflower card set would make a great gift.
CONNECTICUT // Inkpug
If you like pugs, you’ll love this shop! Hard to choose, but I think the Puggyback card may be my favorite.
FLORIDA // 9th Letter Press
Nick’s designs are whimsical, fun and hand-lettered. I especially love the “Happy Birthday from..” state cards. (Here‘s the one for Florida.)
GEORGIA // KT’s Canvases
Katie’s shop is the place for anyone who loves feminine colors, florals and pets! This thank you card is beautiful.
HAWAII // Pikake Press
“Everything in the shop is printed, cut, assembled and produced by one set of hands with great care and attention to detail.” Love that! Check out these tropical mahalo (thank you in Hawaiian) cards.
IDAHO // Amanda Holden Designs
There is a lot of Idaho pride in Amanda’s shop – she has 14 cards on the theme alone! This one is my favorite.
ILLINOIS // Hello Paper Co.
Is there anything more beautiful than a letterpress card?! All of Jill’s cards are “printed on tree-free, 100% cotton paper made from cotton linters (which are left over from the textile industry). It’s acid free, recyclable, biodegradable, and elemental chlorine free.” I love this simple heart pattern.
INDIANA // The Illustrated Life
Lydia makes colorful, feminine, vintage-inspired watercolor art and her shop is one of the most beautiful I’ve seen! These flat notecards on my wishlist.
IOWA // Studio C Design Co.
I just adore the way she combines florals with whimsical characters like teddy bears. Favorite card on my wishlist: Heart Bubbles
KANSAS // Ruff House Art
Oh man, I have a wishlist a mile long from this shop! Some of my favorites: this weekly planner, these pencils, and this Mad Libs inspired birthday card.
MAINE // Morris and Essex
Eliza lives and works in an 1800’s farmhouse in rural Maine. Her work has a folk art feel, which is so cool. I love this journal and these notecards.
MARYLAND // Phoebe & June
I’ve purchased from Cara’s shop before…and even given away one of her journals here on the blog. I think all of her work is awesome and this weekly notepad is currently on my wishlist.
MASSACHUSETTS // Albertine Press
Albertine Press has a brick and mortar store in Cambridge that I’d love to visit someday. These Boston letterpress notecards are gorgeous and for a location a bit closer to me, they have Washington D.C. too!
MICHIGAN // Amy Heitman
Another shop a mile-long wishlist! Amy’s illustrations are so beautiful and charming and have a bit of a vintage vibe. A few of my favorites: Floral Bee Gift Wrap, Another Year Sweeter birthday card, and this agenda notepad.
MINNESOTA // Printerette Press
I love the simplicity of these letterpress cards. This one would be perfect for a summertime birthday.
MISSISSIPPI // Small Pond Print Shop
Hayley’s watercolor art is so stunning. Mississippi natives will love her “Places” series and this pencil pouch is just too cute.
MONTANA // Noteworthy Paper Press
Taylor’s papergoods line definitely has an outdoor theme, perfect for someone from “Big Sky Country!” Favorite item going on my wishlist: Honey Bee Notepad
NEBRASKA // The Anastasia Co.
From the about page: “Words are powerful. They write the story of your life. My passion is to design words in a way that resonate with your heart, fill your soul with truth, and bring joy to your home.” Love that! I love this journal too.
NEW JERSEY // Paula and Waffle
Paula describes her greeting card line as “sweet and pretty” and I couldn’t agree more! Favorite card on my wishlist: Just For You Snail Mail
NEW YORK // Happy Dappy Bits
The environment is important to Jane, so she uses “FSC Certified Recycled & Sustainable papers made from 100% to 30% post consumer materials, and all of my packaging are chosen with the earth in mind, too — from clear, reusable, and 100% biodegradable cellophane sleeves, to sturdy recycled rigid mailers.” This saying hello card is definitely one of my favorites.
NORTH CAROLINA // Hennel Paper Co.
From Jayme: “All of our cards are handmade with love on 100% recycled paper in my Charlotte, NC studio and each one is a little piece of my heart. Every design starts out as a sketch on paper. That sketch is inked with black marker, scanned and brought into Photoshop where I work a little magic and get it ready for print. All of my designs are inspired by real life and are made for exactly that.” I love all of her cards, but her enamel pins are awesome too. I think I need this one!
OHIO // Glass Half Full Art
I have purchased from this mother-daughter team before and was so impressed. Their work is so colorful! Love these Mama Bear and Papa Bear cards.
OREGON // Green Bird Press
While all of Susan’s designs are gorgeous, I especially love nature-inspired ones. How cool are these Cascades topographical coasters?
PENNSYLVANIA // Jennysrainbow Photo
Jennifer’s shop has a variety of items, but I think I love her photo cards the best. Some of my favorites: the buck, wild blueberries and this set of Pennsylvania nature scenes.
RHODE ISLAND // Rag and Bone Bindery
“Rag & Bone is a 30 year old bookbinding studio located in Pawtucket, Rhode Island. We create beautiful books and albums for all occasions – baby, wedding & everyday. Our materials are sourced locally (as local as we can!) and our trained bookbinding staff produces our books to exacting standards. We love books, bookbinding, book arts, paper arts, paper crafting and all things bookish.” Look at this anniversary journal!
TEXAS // Hello Small World
This husband and wife duo makes “feel-good greeting cards + other goods with quirky characters, things, and sayings all while consuming copious amounts of coffee.” My kind of people! This magnetic grocery list is too cute.
UTAH // Alexa Z Design
I adore this shop! Alexa’s designs are so sweet and colorful. Favorite card on my wishlist: Book Stack.
WASHINGTON // FunUsual Suspects
This is such a fun shop! Between her adorable air plant holders to magnetic bookmarks to her punny notecards, there’s something for everyone. I love this otter card.
