Today we\u2019re talking with Katy Jahn, owner of the Happy Day Paper Co. Her love for beautiful wedding stationery inspired her to become a custom stationery designer. She shares her story with us, what inspires her and more.<\/p>\n

Designer: <\/strong>Katy Jahn
\nTitle:<\/strong> Designer + Owner of Happy Day Paper Co.
\nLocation:<\/strong>
\nWorks from home in Lafayette, Colorado.
\nEtsy Shop: Happy Day Paper Co.<\/p>\n

Years in Business: <\/strong> I just celebrated 1 year on June 25, 2019!<\/p>\n

What\u2019s your story?<\/strong> I designed my own wedding invitations in 2015, while working as a graphic designer for a corporate marketing agency. I fell in love with the process of custom design and all of the pretty things that go along with wedding stationery like beautiful papers, calligraphy, letterpress printing and wax seals. We moved from Florida to Colorado after my daughter was born and I opened up my Etsy shop in 2018. When trying to think of a business name, my daughter was just learning to talk and kept saying \u201chappy day\u201d and \u201chappy day to you\u201d instead of \u201cHappy Birthday,\u201d and I just loved it. I currently offer custom and pre-designed wedding stationery but I am working on a greeting card line and also plan to expand to include shower and party invitations.<\/p>\n

Where do you find inspiration?<\/strong> I love finding inspiration when traveling to new places, but even just walking around exploring Boulder or Denver, the nearest cities, is my favorite way to get inspired. Sometimes I\u2019ll see a window display or creative packaging design and get an idea for a project. Also nature, a beautiful sunset over the mountains, fashion, Pinterest\u2026everywhere really!<\/p>\n

\"Modern<\/p>\n

What are a few of your favorite blogs or podcasts? <\/strong>I listen to so many podcasts! It\u2019s how I fall asleep every night. I love the Biz Bash Podcast<\/a>, created by two wedding stationers, so their talks are totally relatable to my business. The Creative Well by Katie O. Selvidge<\/a> is also good! I love browsing wedding blogs like Green Wedding Shoes or Style Me Pretty to get an idea of what wedding styles are trending.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s your favorite dessert<\/strong>? Hands down, it is and always has been chocolate chip cookies.<\/p>\n

How do you use TOG.ink?<\/strong> Mainly for letterpress and foil printed wedding stationery, but I\u2019m planning to use them to print greeting cards soon as well!<\/p>\n

What do you like most about working with TOG.ink?<\/strong> I love the excellent customer service and how they are always adding new products or print techniques to cater to the market. I\u2019m so excited about the new colored paper options and can\u2019t wait to design a custom wedding suite with it!<\/p>\n

Any advice for someone just starting out with TOG.ink?<\/strong> Get the designer\u2019s toolkit<\/a>! It has samples of all the color options for letterpress and foil and some great design samples as well. Also, explore the site and the Coming Soon tab. They are always adding new options!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
