Paper delights that blend classic elegance with cheeky charm

Self-confessed paper addicts Blushing Confetti, have been crafting fine paper delights that blend classic elegance with cheeky charm since 2014.

“A year and a half ago I was a commercial print designer drowning in a digital world,” explains founder Ellen Powell. “I needed a print fix and Blushing Confetti came to the rescue.”

Starting with wedding stationery, Ellen and her husband Nathan quickly expanded into prints and other paperie goodness, all designed, printed and hand assembled right here in Australia.

Having just released their second collection, inspired by interior design and beautiful luxurious materials, the newest additions to the product range encompass a mix of paint techniques, marble finishes and of course shiny foils. “On top of our existing print collections we have expanded into cards, notepads, gift tags and desktop calendars,” says Ellen. “Our hero product is our 2016 marble desktop calendar; complete with copper foil details and hand polished marble bases. Being able to bring in texture, colour and materials that expand beyond paper is pretty cool and something you can expect to see more from us.”

Not taking themselves too seriously (“because where’s the fun in that?”), for Ellen and Nathan the best part of their job is seeing the reactions to their products. “Whether it is oohs and ahhs, a giggle or disbelief that we would actually print a swear word, it’s proof that the all-nighters, stress eating and hand cutting confetti on weekends is totally worth it. We both love this wild ride that we are on and all the rad people we meet along the way.”

As a designer and travel blogger, Emma Kate Codrington is the woman behind the brand, who designed her latest collection for people like herself, those who wander freely, adventure wildly and love with abandon. “Wild Hearts is for dream seekers and adventurers, and I wanted to capture the spirit of anyone who has wanderlust in their bones,” explains Emma. “After two years living and loving in London, I wanted to create something that reflects who I am today. A little more knowing, a little bit stronger and a lot more travelled.”
