Bella Ink Designs Nominated for Two Louie Awards

Bella Ink Designs, a boutique stationery design studio and manufacturer just outside of Chicago, Illinois, has been nominated in two categories for the Greeting Card Association’s 24th Annual Louie Awards.

CC-93, Feel Better Soon
Bella Ink Designs’ CC-93 greeting card has been nominated for a Louie Award in the Get Well/Feel Better Above $3.50 category. This folded note features two French bulldogs, one with a glittery cone around his head. A cameo above the dogs frames the words “I hope you’ll feel better soon.” The inside is blank for a personal, hand-written message. The suggested retail price for one card is $4.00. Single greetings are not available without glitter.

CC-103, My Favorite Peeps
Bella Ink Designs’ CC-103 greeting card has been nominated for a Louie Award in the Religious Celebrations Above $3.50 category. Pink marshmallow bunnies, and one glittery yellow bunny, sit in a row across this folded note. The words, “To one of my favorite” sits above the bunnies and the remainder of the sentence, “Peeps,” sit beneath. The inside is blank for a personal, hand-written message. The suggested retail price for one card is $4.00. Single greetings are not available without glitter.

Each of Bella Ink Designs’ nominated cards will be on display in the company’s new booth, #1754, at this year’s National Stationery Show in New York City. The show runs from May 20 through May 23, 2012 at the Javits Center. The Louie Awards are held annually during the NSS. This year’s awards will be handed out at a ceremony on May 20, 2012 at Espace, located at 635 West 42nd Street.

About Bella Ink Designs
Bella Ink Designs opened its doors in January of 2005 when Melissa Danaher, President, left the world of corporate graphic design to combine her need to express herself creatively with her desire to spend more time with her family. Danaher’s business has since moved fro the dining room table into a larger studio and warehouse space. Each design in the Bella Ink collection is hand-drawn and/or hand-painted by Danaher, who expertly mixes a variety of colors and patterns onto a single card. Designs offered with embellishments are hand-glittered in the Bella Ink Designs studio, by request. Bella Ink Designs’ mission is to design, manufacture and distribute stationery products that are as fabulous and unique as the people and events they’ll be representing.
