Cartolina Cards

It's probably no surprise to anyone that I love cards!! One of my favourite stationery brands is Cartolina Cards designed by the fabulous and very talented Fiona Richards. Fiona is originally from Scotland and is living in Nelson, Canada. I first discovered her cards whilst shopping in San Francisco at one of my favourite shops Nest. Co-incidentally around the same time I arrived home, I discovered Fiona's fantastic blog Cafe Cartolina through my friend Natalie at Hiccupings.

I love the way Fiona puts her designs together using an eclectic range of inspiration found from antique cartouches and woodblock prints etc. Her colour combinations, patterns and use of romantic, exotic, vintage imagery all really 'sing' to me. Hopefully, I'll get a chance to catch up with her in NY during the Stationery Show next week. PS. There's also a great interview on her here by Modern Paper Goods.

    Hi Chris - what a lovely surprise! I think that you and I have a similar passion for colour and pattern! Look forward to meeting you this weekend. BTW, as of June all our products are going to be available in lovely stores across Australia including select David Jones stores - can't wait to introduce Cartolina to our Australian friends. Thanks again,
    FIona

    I love her new designs - especially the Marie Antoinette theme. Great post!
