It’s finally spring! Oh, this winter has been a rough one for most of us. With record snowfall and blistering cold temperatures, I for one am just happy to see the word spring appear on the calendar! Even though it’s a chilly 40 degrees right now, I hear birds chirping and am dreaming of full bloomed lilac bushes, Easter orchids and more!
There is just something about flowers that represent spring. Those first green stems starting to stick up from the still cold ground. The little buds of green sprinkled across a bush or tree. It’s exciting, it’s fresh and best of all this year, it means warmer weather is at long last on it’s way.
At American Stationery, there is no lack of floral and spring designs for your stationery or other personalized gift.
Nothing says spring more than a small bouquet of blooming daisies. The Fresh Daisy Ensemble is an adorable spring time stationery set. The whimsical font displays your name and leaves plenty of room to write your sentiment. The open face design and large petals makes this bloom welcoming of the sunshine filled days ahead. Use these notes to write a note to your family and friends letting them know you made it through this long cold winter okay and that you are ready and willing to get out and visit. This ensemble features 12 fold notes, 12 flat cards, 24 envelopes and 70 seals all for $28.95. The notes and cards are digitally printed which means they are smooth all the way around as you can’t feel the personalization. Your name will be personalized in a whimsical font on both the cards and notes in your choice of lime, gray, or black ink. For a few dollars more you may line the envelopes and or print the return address on the back flap of the envelope. This item, number 3092 is a great choice for the gardener. Whether you buy it for yourself or for a friend it is sure to send some sunshine to all who receive a note on this stationery.
Another sure sign of spring is the emergence of pastels. These appear from clothing, to bathroom, accessories to even our stationery. Pastels pop up just as quickly as flowers do in the springtime. You can keep your spring cleaning lists organized, the aptly named Spring Fling Memo Pads and Holder set. For $29.95 you will receive 700 sheets on seven pads of vibrant colors. Each pad is personalized with your name. Some with just the first name others with your full name and they all fit perfectly into a personalized acrylic holder.

Looking for a unique floral display on your next set of fold notes? Take a look at our Blossom Notes. These notes have a beautiful display of hydrangea blossoms printed on the side of the note in a watercolor style. With two color choices of rose and pink, or blue and purple you can show off your favorite colors with your favorite bloom. The soft look but heavyweight paper will be sure to delight everyone who receives a note from you. These fold notes are sold in a set of 24 with plain white envelopes for $28.95. If you would like, you may purchase the optional inner liner and or outer return address printing for additional costs. The liner for this item is just $24.00 and really adds the pop of color to make a complete look. Or decide to keep the envelopes completely plain for a more casual style.
In the spirit of springtime breathing new life into your everyday, why not purchase some new address labels. The new Gramercy labels design offers a fresh look to the old standard boring address labels. For $12.95 you will receive 60 labels in a vibrant color combination. The standard size still applies for this item number 3152_1 but, that is the only thing standard about these bold labels. With lime green and hot pink your initials take center stage inside a robust flourish and your address lies below. The bold block offers a hip contrast to the flourishing design. The 60 labels come as two sheets of 30.
If you think a stamper is more your style than a label, then peek at our round return address stampers. A perfect style number for spring is item number 2849_3.

Another way that you can tell spring has sprung is that we start to see more animals. During the long and cold winter so many little animals go into hiding.

All pens carry blue ink but, we have several different external colors like Orange! Type item 3160 in and then select your color.
