Dempsey and Carroll Premium Stationery Holiday Cards and Gift Items

Dempsey and Carroll Premium Stationery Holiday Cards and Gift Items

Dempsey and Carroll StationeryIf you have been following our blog for any amount of time, you will probably know that there are items that I love and cannot get enough of. One of those items is stationery and paper products. I am not sure why I love them so much, but to write a note on a fine sheet of paper or beautiful embossed rich cardstock, is like heaven to me. Today I have the pleasure of telling you about a company that has embraced the true meaning of fine, premium stationery products.

Dempsey and Carroll produce the most amazing quality cards and paper products I have ever has the pleasure of holding in my hands. I was sent several samples of their products for review and I was amazed at what they produce.

I was thrilled to receive 2 of the gift tags. Now, I know what you are thinking. At gift tag? She is making a fuss about a gift tag? Oh my goodness. Let’s see if I can do this justice.. These gift tags are oversized to start. They are 3.5″ high and 5″ long and they are embellished with a thick grosgrain ribbon. The card stock is super thick and firm. The tags are engraved with beautiful multi-colored decorative designs and they are raised. I literally could rub my fingers across them for hours. They are amazing!

I was also sent 3 samples of their Calendar for 2012. These are printed on 12 different cardstock pieces about the size of a note card. They are super firm and can sit on a stand for display purposes. The Month is engraved in a fabulous script and the calendar is print on the cards. Just beautiful!

Finally I was sent several of their gorgeous Seaside Collection Gift Set of note paper. These come bundled in tablets of beautiful watermarked paper and embellished on the cover with engravings of sweet Seaside images. These are great for jotting notes and the size if just right for keeping one in your purse or briefcase. What a lovely gift idea!

Dempsey and Carroll has the most amazing quality, personalized Holiday Cards that I have ever seen. The images are engraved and full of color and distinction. You will definitely set yourself apart when you send memorable cards that are so amazing they could be framed. These cards can be engraved on the inside and you can even have the envelopes engraved with your return address. You have to see these fabulous cards!

If you are looking for beautiful gifts to make an impression or simple Thank you Cards for the Holiday season, stop by this store and put them on your Shopping List this season.

I am so pleased to have been able to introduce you to these fine printers of engraved stationery products. Dempsey and Carroll has been producing top quality products since 1878 and I think they set the standard others strive for.
