holiday cards!

We received some pretty special holiday cards here at Broadway Paper...

Thought you might like to see. I still can't get myself to take them down... I love them all too much. Hope everyone else received some really great cards this past season too!

printerette press

We have the most adorable new cards ever! Please welcome Printerette Press to Broadway Paper. I first spotted the line in May at the National Stationery Show and it was love at first sight! Check out these pictures of Printerette Press' adorable booth at the National Stationery Show. How could I not place an order with a booth like that?

Printerette Press is a Midwest company (which I love), right out of Saint Paul, Minnesota and has the sweetest, most delicate letterpress cards in all of the land! When we got our shipment in last week, we could hardly contain ourselves... and there was even a sweet personal note inside of the box too!


From confetti, chevron stripes, flowers, balloons, to preserve recipes, astrology sign cards... Printertte Press pretty much has the world of adorable/sweet/unique letterpress cards covered! See for yourself...


You can see and shop all of Printerette Press' adorable cards right here on our webstore.

new card line: kinaloon

Kinaloon is a new card line that we just started carrying a few weeks ago. And I am in love! Barbara who designs and prints all of her cards herself, came to me with a few samples and I instantly knew I had to carry her line. Another great attribute is these cards are designed and printed right in Chicago. Love it!


Barbara is a painter who fell in love with screen printing. The first designs were inspired by Barbara teasing her niece about going to camp and how she was going to write her lots of letters. She decided she would make letters to send to her niece, rather than buying cards. How sweet! Believe me, Kinaloon cards are just as sweet and beautiful as this story!


You can find a wide variety of Kinaloon cards in the store or on our webstore.

the FOUND

One of my all time favorite card companies just debuted a new line and I'm so excited to share it with you! the FOUND recently debuted their new Matchbox line. This is their fourth line in addition to their Busted, Americana, and Newsprint lines. the FOUND is based out of Chicago and is inspired by a collection of found ephemera... they re-discover items and re-invent and re-purpose them. And they do a great job at it!


My personal matchbox favorite is their Yee Haw Horse. The inside greeting reads, "Hey lucky, It's your birthday." Pretty great, I'd say!


Their re-discovered, re-invented, and re-purposed inspired products can be found here (no pun intended!).

card making workshop

We recently collaborated with Discovery World in a card making workshop. Discovery World held the greeting card workshop after hours in their print and publishing lab. And Broadway Paper was there as the official card making experts!






We had lots of fun and made lots of really unique and beautiful cards. From screen printing, to letterpress, to die cutting... we did it all! Discovery World has many more adult art classes including screen printing coming up in July. We had so much fun at Discovery World, we're planning a few more workshops including one dedicated just to letterpress! More information to come!
