PG showcases a selection of new product launches
California Dreaming
A World Debut With ‘gender reveal’ baby showers gaining massively in popularity, wholesale card publisher Out of the Blue Studios has spotted a gap in the card market for a greeting card design that can be given at one of these parties or from friends wanting to predict the sex of the baby. The card design, which includes a facility to guess whether it will be a boy or a girl forms part of the publisher’s new baby card collection.
Flame Tree has signed a new licensing agreement with Florida artist Jasmine Becket-Griffith. The artist’s distinctive work - featuring faeries, mermaids, princesses - will now grace Flame Tree’s beautiful foiled notebooks, jigsaws, calendars and diaries. Another new signing for Flame Tree is Italian artist Vittorio Zecchin’s Art Nouveau style paintings. Flame Tree Publishing 020 7751 9650 www.flametreepublishing.com
A Gentle Breeze Among a raft of new launches from Ling Design is the company’s first collaboration with Cornwall-based designer Georgia Breeze. This inaugural range features detailed, trend-inspired designs, including some depictions of unicorns, toucans, llamas and flamingos. Expertly placed buttons or foil add an extra dimension to each design that start life as a machine-stitched paper collage.
