Good Plan: A new line of notebooks and cards from Katie Blair Designs


Good morning! I'm so glad to finally be able to introduce you to my newest line of cards and notebooks in full. The line is called "Good Plan," and it features a series of completely handmade cards and notebooks that are perfect for making plans.

First up, the cards. I'm so proud of these -- there are five of them, each featuring my original illustrations. They are hand-printed in three colors, including a bold background color that goes right up to the edge of the card, and they're finished off with a glossy overprint on top that makes them nice and smooth.

They're blank inside, and the front of each one offers a cheerful invitation.

"Let's Have an Adventure":



"Let's Have Coffee":



"Let's Play A Game":



"Let's Take a Hike":



"Let's Have Tea":


Not only are the cards printed with beautiful detail, but each envelope has been hand-lined with a teal-patterned paper to make the entire set extra special.

Next up, the notebooks. The first one is a handy soft-cover notebook, printed in five colors (plus a glossy finish on top) that coordinate perfectly with the Good Plan cards.


It's available with lined or blank pages.


Then there are three hard-cover notebooks, in teal, yellow or green to coordinate with the rest of the line, each printed with the word "notes" in cream on the cover. The notebooks are completely handbound, from the cover to the hand-stitched interior.


To me, these are the perfect notebook for writing and sketching -- cheerful but simple, and crafted with a great deal of care and attention to detail.



They are finished off with a tan ribbon bookmark, and the end pages are made of the same teal patterned paper that lines the envelopes.




And there you have it: the Good Plan line! All of the pieces will be for sale in the Katie Blair Designs shop tomorrow. If you have any questions about the new cards and notebooks, don't hesitate to let me know.

I'm incredibly proud of these cards and notebooks, and I'm delighted to get to share them with you. Let me know what you think!

LOVE them all, Katie! Those hardback "Notes" books are my favorite though. That yellow one makes me smile! :) Hugs!

They look great! I also really like the hardback note books (I'd want a blank one!). But I'm a sucker for sketchbooks...

Hope the line does well for you!
