Creased cards a hit at the National Stationery Show

Creased exhibited for the first time at this year's National Stationery Show, the annual superconvention for manufacturers, distributors, and retailers of greeting cards, stationery, and all kinds of related products held at New York's Jacob Javits Convention Center in May. We had a great time setting up our booth, arranging our displays, and showing the buyers our handmade origami greeting cards, in many cases finding new members of the Creased family. We even handed out origami for people to stick to their convention badges, spreading the word about the ancient art of paper folding. The theme of the show was embracing the "Power of Paper"; how better to do that than with origami? [Photos show Creased founder Sok Song at the Creased booth.]

Our cards received plenty of compliments; one Pennsylvania retailer told us that the Creased cards she ordered were "the find of the Show." We also made new friends among our neighbors exhibiting in the surrounding booths. After months of planning it was a blast to finally be at the big event showcasing our beautiful cards. Heartfelt thanks to all the people who helped make it possible!

Origamists line up for Creased cards at origami convention

For the second year in a row, Creased participated in the annual Origami USA, held in June on the campus of the Fashion Institute of Technology in Manhattan. OUSA is a chance for origamists to get together and teach and learn new origami models, socialize, and meet well-known origamists and authors. Included in the convention is a whole floor dedicated to selling origami products, and Creased was there. It was an honor to receive compliments on our cards from some of the most talented origamists we know of, and to have a chance to share techniques and learn new skills. Creased founder Sok Song taught classes this year--on origami models for greeting cards, naturally--and exhibited some of his own origami art at a special exhibition featuring artwork from artists around the world, including a remarkably lifelike purple orchid plant. OUSA is one of the highlights of our year and we look forward to next year's event.
