We wish everyone a happy, safe, and prosperous New Year! Let's go 2013!!

I've got some new prints to share with you all today! There has been lots of designing going on and I am very excited to start releasing some of the new screenprints we will be offering for our early 2013 collection! First up are these "Sun + Moon" screenprints, more affectionately known as "Rise and Shine" and "Sweet Dreams". I had lots of fun designing these so that the yellow ink is translucent and sits lightly on the aqua blue below but packs a bold punch. I definitely envision these prints adorning a nursery or kid's room but they'd also add a pop of color and fun to an adult's bedroom as well. Hey, the sun would even be perfect for the kitchen especially near the coffee pot! These limited edition screenprints measure 12" x 16" and fit nicely inside the medium "Ribba" frame from Ikea or the like. As a special deal, these screenprints are offered at a discount if you buy the set, saving you $10. They are available for purchase here and here in the shop or over on Etsy. 

I hope everyone is enjoying the Holidays. I can't wait to get back into my normal blogging schedule bringing you more updates and inspiration soon!

Well, our Holiday show season is officially done, but we are still busy little elves over here packing up your Holiday orders! Speaking of, make sure to get your last minute purchases in over the next few days as the shipping deadline is quickly approaching! The cut off date for First Class mail is Thursday the 20th, which means you'd need to have your orders placed by the Tuesday the 18th, conservatively, so that we may get your goods prepped and ready for shipment. The same goes for Priority Mail, where the cut off date is Friday the 21st. To be safe we'd suggest you place those orders by the Wednesday the 19th, at the very latest. Anything placed after those dates may not make it in time for Christmas. We want to make sure that we are up front with you all about these dates and the time it can take to process your orders so that there are no disappointments! 

We've been so grateful over the past two months to all who have supported our small business whether it be purchasing from us at a show, ordering online, or simply retweeting our promotions, etc. To show our appreciation, we have decided to offer one last deal for the 2012 year! Remember that Black Friday weekend coupon code? Well we have re-activated it starting right now and it will stay valid until Monday the 17th at midnight PST. So hurry and get those last minute orders in that way we can ship you your goods in time :) Use code "SPHOLIDAY25" at checkout. And you'll still get FREE SHIPPING here in the webshop on any order of $50 or more.

Oh, and lastly...remember these tags from last year? Well you can still download them here to use for FREE for your Holiday gifts! (Personal use only, please) The Huffington Post just included these in their Holiday Printables Roundup! 

Have a great weekend everyone.

Whew! We are knee deep in the Holiday product making + shipping madness, but I wanted to share two shows that are coming up this weekend and next. These are the last two shows we will be doing for the year and most likely until the Spring so you won't want to miss out!

This weekend, Dec. 1 + 2, is the Unique LA Holiday show at the penthouse of the California Market Center in downtown LA. This show is from 11- 6 both days and will be packed to the gills with awesome vendors so I suggest you plan your visit in advance here. The cost is $10 and with that you get a free tote bag as well as 10% of all ticket sales benefiting non-profit group Inner-City Arts in LA. You also get free cocktails, snacks, drinks, and there are always awesome DIY workshops and prizes being given away. We will be at booth #143, which is on a corner near the entrance area where all the smaller tables are set up. 

Next weekend, Dec. 8 + 9, is the Renegade LA Holiday show at the Los Angeles Historic State Park. The show is from 10-5 and is free! You can also check out all the amazing vendors here to plan your visit. We will be at booth #41, on a corner to the far right near the food trucks & photobooth.

Also, just a reminder that we are offering FREE SHIPPING on all US-bound orders of $50 and more here on the site. You can also get a coupon for 15% your next order usable here or on Etsy by liking us on Facebook. Every little bit helps, right? :D

Have a great weekend!

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.
