Maison du Papier Shop Regalo

Just Because Greeting Card

For the last 5 years Calligraphy Katrina has been going strong.  We've been able to build a strong foundation of clients, brides, and accolades through calligraphy, invitations, and wedding stationery.  About 2 years ago we opened Maison du Papier.  I'd like to reintroduce Maison du Papier.  Maison du Papier is our product line of paper stock and rental services.  Here anyone can purchase Calligraphy Katrina Maison du Papier products for their special event:  greeting cards, miscellaneous wedding stationery, blank table cards for smaller events, and gift tags. Our rentals include: small flourished table frames, small display easels, large mirrors, and large chalkboards. As a professional calligrapher, Maison du Papier expands into a paper product line where services for smaller events such as bridal showers, baby showers, anniversary dinners, engagement dinners, family holiday gatherings, gift giving, and just because to name a few  is made professionally, readily available, and easy with the flair of Calligraphy Katrina.

Happy Throwback Tuesday!

Honoring Amy Pascal and Ralph Rucci: LGBT Event

One of the perks of this 5th year of Calligraphy Katrina Maison du Papier is being available to give back to sponsor, and attend special events that give back to communities.  Like prior posts on Giving Back with CKMDP and community support the growth of CKMDP means activism in communities and humanities.  It's nice to have wellness development for my company and the CKMDP team.

Mid March my best friend and I attended An Evening Honoring Amy Pascal and Ralph Rucci: Benefiting Youth Services oft the LA Gay & Lesbian Center.  The event was held at the Beverly Wiltshire and sponsord by Sony Pictures Entertainment, Sax Fith Avenue, and Wells Fargo  Click here to read more about the purpose of the event:  About

Quality Time with my BFF!!!

Sponsors:  LA Gay Lesbian Center, Sony Pictures Entertainment,

Table settings at the Beverly Wilshire

In contribution to the event CKMDP contributed thousands of place cards were written for the large audience that was in attendance of this fun, inspiring, and fabulous evening.Cheers to Amy Pascal and Ralph Rucci in their leadership, service, and contributions to the LGBT community.  There were many presenters and honored speakers through the evening.  Unfortunately the best of shaky hands and a distant table, the photos of these amazing guests came out way to blurry to post.

And not going to lie!!!  It's nice to end with some good sugar!!!!  I love sweets!

I'm glad that my team and I are able to support each other through our daily life, hopes, and dreams.  It's even better to know that we're here to spread the love to others too.  Thanks BFF for spending this awesome sponsorship opp with me.

Throwback to Harsanik 2013

About 2 and half weeks ago we had our debut at Harsanik 2013:  The Premier Bridal Event.  It was our delight to present stationery and ideas to a plethora of beautiful brides.  One of the fun ideas for this vibrant and bountiful spring bridal show was welcoming our guests into our canopy with sweets and love.

Scoopful of Kindness, delightful sweets
for our blushing brides.

At Harsanik we also were able to display a new addition to our portfolio.  This incandescent invite and circle menu was inspired by Christine Zohrabian from Fancy That Events.

Thank you Tic Tock Couture Florals
your whimsy and radiant floral arrangements
always bring us great joy.

Along with up and coming new designs, calligraphy on linens has also become a new couture medium of ours.   This panel is one example of delicately handwritten calligraphy on shimmery white linen.
