If you’re like me, in any normal year, you are drawn to classic, tasteful neutrals — think black, navy, slate — and traditional embossing on your stationery. These convey a subtle, luxurious look. Colorful stationery was nice, but didn’t feel necessary. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But this is no normal year. This is our second COVID19 winter. During the first winter, we engaged in sense-tickling activities: we baked fragrant bread and yummy cookies. We sang out our windows with our neighbors and clapped for front-line workers on our front porches. This year, we are craving color: Deep, mood-boosting jewel tones. Bright, almost neon-like hues. And they are everywhere: on our clothes, in our hair, on our beds and chairs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

People are calling these saturated hues “dopamine” colors — named after the pleasure chemical that’s released in our brains. So let’s look at some ways to bring in color to our stationery for spring 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Choose Raised-Ink Cards or Notes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you want to add bold color to your stationery, start with EG’s raised-ink stationery, which uses thermography, a process of printing that achieves deep colors. Right now, bubble gum pink is taking over fashion runways — our “Fuchsia” color is a perfect match. Emerald green is another up-and-coming choice, and our “Emerald” evokes the bright hills of Ireland. Pantone recently announced a gorgeous purple color for their “2022 Color of the Year”<\/a> called “Very Peri,” and our “Purple” color is almost a dead ringer for it. Finally, turquoise blue is a perennially happy-calm color, and our “Ocean” will have you imagining your toes in the sand in moments. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Add Border & Lining to Embossed Stationery<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you love embossing and don’t want to give it up, don’t worry, you can have it both ways. Add a border and envelope lining to add pizzazz to your embossed stationery. Select a “Fuchsia,” “Orange” or “Red” border to frame your name with bold color. Choose a complementary or contrasting envelope lining such as “Emerald,” “Fuchsia,” “Purple” or “Red.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Add Contrasting Envelope Lining<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Mixing and matching bright hues offers an energizing vibe for your raised-ink stationery. If you choose “Ocean” as your ink color, try “Purple” or “Red” for the envelope lining. “Emerald” ink would look fabulous with “Purple” or “Fuchsia” as the lining. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Try California Framed Stationery<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

EG offers colorful papers in two of our products: “California Framed” folded notes and correspondence cards. “Citrus” and “Red Pepper” are cheerful choices that will immediately brighten your stationery wardrobe. Select “Purple” envelope linings for the “Citrus” stationery (it’s a wonderful acid-green) or the “Red Pepper” stationery for an energizing combination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other Colorful Stationery Options<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Our Carnival line of notepads and memos<\/a> offers a burst of neon color with every page. Order “Blue,” “Pink,” “Orange,” “Green,” or a “Tricolor” mix. When choosing colorful raised-ink hues, select the “White”paper option (as opposed to “Ivory” paper) to allow the colors to “pop” off the paper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
