After all, what could be better than crafts and cupcakes? Fueled by sugar, we glued, glittered, folded and stamped sentiments of love to our sweethearts. With the card stock carefully labeled, we arranged text weight papers in a gradient waterfall to help facilitate the envelope making process.ĭespite the wicked snow storm happening outside, guests were welcomed to the studio with glasses of bubbly and some sweet treats. After pulling sheets of all our paper selections, we prepped by scoring, folding and cutting the card stock down to A-7 and A-2 size enclosures. Next, we turned to our swatch books to help selecting the perfect papers for the card and envelope crafting. Check out a behind the scenes look at the installation. Assisted by our intern Julie, the two worked in assembly line fashion to create a vision of paper love.
P&P’s sample studio coordinator and artist Molly Brill, crafted a geometric grid pattern out of six inch square sheets of Stardream. So we covered a 40′ wall with a massive paper installation featuring Neenah’s shimmery Stardream in Rose Quartz and Azalea. My team and I had the perfect excuse to play with all the fab papers at our disposal and we wanted to declare our love of paper in a big way. Inspired by the arrival of The Envelope Kit from Neenah, Parse & Parcel hosted a Valentine’s Day themed Crafty Hour in the sample studio this week. Well it just so happens that a small group of creatives and myself were able to do just that. This process would be so much easier if I could just take the image in my head and create my own perfect card and envelope. For me, a card is a reflection of the giver and just like choosing what outfit to wear to a shindig, requires a careful amount of thought and creativity. And don’t even get me started on the envelope. Mainly because I struggle to find one that’s equally appealing in graphics and message. But I confess, I am not a fan of card shopping. Whether it be an expression of gratitude, joy or love – it truly is the thought that counts. I think it’s one of the most sincere ways to convey a sentiment.
