New Designs for Christmas 2012

Just when we thought we had a free week to really crack on with our new designs in time for Top Drawer in January we have both been side tracked by other design jobs, we aren't complaining as it is good that we are busy, but we are running out of time now to get everything done in time, the weeks are flying past and we have so much to do....

We have been asked to do some Gift Bag designs to accompany the Christmas 'Santas' roll wrap designs we have just completed for Glick.  The deadline is this Thursday as they have to get them printed in time for The Spring Fair at the beginning of February. 

 Here is what we have completed so far .....






We have also been working on some lovely Wedding Stationery, we will post about this at a later date!

Two New Rose Lane Relation Cards

We have always found that the relation cards that we do sell really well, our last range called Sweet Talk has sold out now, leaving us with a few gaps in the range! We have added these two new cards to our popular Rose Lane Relations range.....



There are now 22 designs in this range!
The new range, called Deeley Boppers is on its way to the printers today, we can't wait to see how they look!

Working on new card designs ready for the New Year

We have been busy, busy, busy and have nearly completed one card range, when we get them back from the printers we will let you take a look!

We have now made a start with our new children's range, it is still in the very early stages where we just have a play and see what we can come up, sometimes we spend all day and come up with nothing worth taking any further and today seems one of those days ......




We will carry on tomorrow and hopefully we will come up with something we are happy with.

We have treated ourselves to brand new Macbook airs ......


so no excuses for not blogging!!!

Paper Salad Personalised Cards now available on Salt&Paper website

Our cards are now available to personalise and buy online via this 


Over the last few weeks we have been working with the web designers to make it possible, we provided them with a selection of alphabets for them to work with so that the cards still retain the paper salad style of font, and we are very pleased with the results.



Our personalised New Year Banner is also available to buy from  Not on the High Street



As are our very popular personalised birthday banners.

New ranges being developed ready for the new year launch.





We are well on the way to completing one of our new ranges which will be launched at Top Drawer in January, it has been a long process, mainly as we keep getting interrupted dealing with everything else that running a small business involves.......




I have been drawing and painting and Claire has been taking the original drawings and adapting them to print format.

We will post the new designs as soon as they are ready.



In the meantime our shop is looking good, ready for our Christmas shopping events next week




Hope everyone has a good weekend, see you back here on Monday!!

We were really pleased to be mentioned on the popular Card and Gift Blog last night. Charlotte picked us as her Sunday Blog Spot post. Click here to read her review of our blog!



Paper Salad HQ!
Here are some pictures of Chadkirk County Park where our studio is located. We are really lucky to be surrounded by so much countryside, you wouldn't believe that we are less than 10 miles from Manchester city centre!
