If you missed the newsletter that went out with the special coupons for the shopping weekend, have no fear as here they are! In addition to the promotions we will have nearly 15 items marked down so you'll surely get a great deal. Remember, the coupon is only valid starting tomorrow night (Nov. 22) at midnight and lasting until Monday night (Nov. 26) at midnight so don't miss out! The free shipping on $50 or more is good for the rest of the year on US addressed packages, but this is only valid on my website shop, not Etsy, and no code is needed. 

I wish everyone here in the US a wonderful Thanksgiving and to all a fantastic rest of your week and weekend! 

So while you were sleeping, we added a new category to the s+p collection! We've been toying with the idea of a digital prints range for some time now, and were encouraged along by many of your responses on the product surveys we've put out in the past. Our goal was to create some quality, eye-catching and stylish poster-sized designs for your home and office at an economical price point. We understand that while screenprints are extra special when it comes to process and exclusivity, many of you change out your art frequently or are perhaps looking for the ability to customize the colors in your prints (coming soon)! By no means are we abandoning screenprinting the bulk of our pieces, as a matter of fact we've got two new screenprinted series set to debut over the next couple months. We're just spicing up the assortment a bit. If you've ordered from us in the past you know our quality control levels are very high, so you can be assured we've secured the most top of the line equipment and papers for these prints. You can check out each product listing for more on the inks + papers used. We hope you'll like the new "digis", as we are affectionately referring to them, and that you'll perhaps snap a few up in our Holiday weekend sale! More details on that tomorrow if you didn't already get our newsletter.

Thought I'd share with you guys some exciting news and changes that happened this week. First off, THREE of our screenprints were featured on set in Fox's GLEE! I actually got word from a friend that the Red Fox was spotted, but then when I went back to watch the episode on Hulu, I saw the other two! All three prints are used in Kitty's room during the Sandra Dee number, which is at about 15:00 into the episode. The Peace Heart and Potted Garden are discontinued prints but you can still purchase the Red Fox here. 

The second bit of news is that the portfolio for my design work has a new home! The Design Studio link on this site will direct you to the new site, aptly named Shannon Kennedy Designs. I've been wanting to create some separation from s+p to my freelance work for a while now so I am glad it is finally complete. Check out the new site and let me know what you think!

Today I am guest blogging over at the Paper Pastries blog while Margaret is away getting married and boy do I have a fun Holiday Stamp DIY to share with you! With just a few supplies from your local arts & crafts store you can make some darling tree and star stamps that you can use to personalize your gifts and packaging this Holiday season. 

Go check out the full DIY tutorial here!

This Sunday November 11th, Cesar and I will be selling at the Patchwork Show in our good old city of Long Beach! The event is FREE and is from 11-5. The location is called Marine Stadium, but it is actually a large lot down by the water at the corner of Appian and Bayshore. We'll be at booth #95. This event is always a good time especially since we get to see our local friends and shoppers! As promised prior, here are two coupons that you can print out and bring to the show to use toward purchases. You can also just open it as a window on your smartphone at the show to save paper. Hope to see some of you there!

Well, it's been a bit quiet here on the blog front but for good reason. The Holidays are fast approaching and I'm busy designing new goodies for the shop and getting prepped for all the upcoming Holiday shows. With that being said, here is our 2012 Holiday show schedule! I really hope to get to see some of you at one of these events. Also keep posted as I will be releasing coupons that you can print out and bring to the shows. 

Some other items to note, I am offering Free Shipping (US addresses only) on all orders over $50 here in the shop. I've also marked down quite a bit of product to make way for new ones so snap these deals up before they are gone forever!

Lastly, if you follow me on Twitter you may have seen that I have been working on a new brand!! The Paper Cub Co. is our new "sister" brand and will focus on offering modern greetings and paper goods. Eventually all of the greeting cards that are in the s&p shops will be migrated over to The Paper Cub. I'm really excited about being able to offer a wider variety of designs and printing methods including not only screenprinted greetings but letterpress and offset as well. There will also be much more than just greeting cards. I haven't officially let the cat out of the bag just yet (well I guess I'm sort of doing that now), but I can tell you that this brand will be making its full debut at the National Stationery Show next May in NYC! The website is in the works, as well as all of the designs, but you can follow The Paper Cub Co. on Twitter to receive updates. I've also gone ahead and set up an Etsy shop where I've released a California postcard design to get things going. There is so much more to come so I hope you'll stay tuned! Don't forget to follow along on Twitter for news and updates!

Have a great weekend everyone!

We're making way for new products so we've got a nice little sale going on! You can save 50% and up on limited edition prints, cards, totes, pillows, and more. Pretty sweet deals if you ask me, maybe you can get some early Holiday shopping in? Keep in mind these items will not be re-made so once they're gone, they're gone for good. 

Drum roll please....the 2012 Holiday Card and Postcard collection is now available! I had a blast designing and screenprinting these cards. I also thought I'd add in the option of a postcard as many just want to send a quick Holiday greeting. As always, these are available as singles or as a boxed set. I give price breaks on the boxed sets and of quantities of 6 or more, so stock up! If you need a customized set, more quantities or mix and match, I can also arrange that as well, just contact me.

To view them individually or to purchase them visit the online shop here or on Etsy here.

The results for the screenprints contest are in and are pictured below!

Thank you to all who played along and shared the prints! You are not walking away empty-handed. I am offering 15% off the purchase price of any of these three prints. Use the code "3PRINTS15" here in the webshop to redeem the discount. The discount is good until 10/31/12 and may not be combined with other discounts.

Get there early as the crowds will be in full effect, I'm talking 150,000 plus! The festival is right on Abbot Kinney, between Venice and Main from 10-6 on Sunday October the 7th. We are at booth #380 so come say hello and checkout all the new screenprints There may also be a few new Holiday cards!

Hope you all have a great rest of your week and weekend!

I've had this thing lately for lighter colored items, especially furniture, and namely white. There is just something so fresh and clean about white and when paired with light wood it takes on a very modern and minimal feel. Maybe it is due to moving and wanting to start fresh with some decor and furniture pieces, but I am just loving this look and hoping to snag a few pieces. Of course, as with most decorative trends moderation is key unless you want to wind up looking like a gallery or too staged. I think that a few statement pieces and knick knacks mixed with other modern and vintage items would keep the look from becoming overdone. Here are some of my favorite items and styling below. What is your take on this look? Love it? Loath it?

I've got quite a bit of new product to share with you all today. I had planned on posting this on Monday but I just couldn't wait! So here I sit on a Saturday afternoon adding 5 new screenprints to my collection and I couldn't be more pleased! First up is the pièce de résistance my new Alphabet Screenprint. This print is a whopping 18" x 24" and is hand screenprinted using four ink colors: blue, yellow, red, and black. This print was a doozie to produce, let me tell you, but I am so happy with the results and I hope you will like it, too! Due to its size, it would make a great center piece for your little one's room or even give it as a gift. It is a truly timeless theme with a sass&peril twist, and as with all my pieces it has been designed and hand-pulled by me with love for you! You can view more photos, see more details, and purchase the screenprint here in my online shop or on Etsy.

Next up is a new series of Scandinavian-inspired fruit screenprints. My goal here was to take a recognizable shape, such as those of fruits, and give them a geometric pattern twist. I adore Scandinavian design and motifs and wanted to bring some of that pattern work into my designs. I couldn't decide on just one color for these, I even asked some of you on Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook, but it came back pretty dead even on black vs. a traditional color. Sometimes black packs just as bold of a punch as a bright color would so I went with both! I'm also really pleased that I went with the poster size 12.5" x 19" on these as they really make a statement at the bigger size. You can purchase these here in the online shop or on Etsy. 

Now for a little CONTEST! I am offering up each screenprint to three lucky winners! Here's how it will work:

- Pin the print you'd like to win on Pinterest with a link back to the actual print in either my online shop or my Etsy shop. (It must be a link to the product NOT this blog post) 

- Start following sass&peril on Pinterest (This is not mandatory, I'm not going to force you to follow me, but it would be great to connect!)

- Leave me a comment here saying you pinned with your Pinterest profile URL. (I will be checking so no fibbing!)

** Extra credit: Post to your Facebook and/or Twitter (same rules as above). Each post will count as one entry so you can have up to 3 entries for each screenprint you'd like to win!

There will be three different winners and three prints will be given away. One person will win the Alphabet print, another person will win one of the Apple prints (either black or red), and the last person will win one of the Pear prints (either black or green). 

I will choose the winners on October 6th, in one week! Make sure you check back to see if you've won and happy pinning!
