New Card & Updates

I listed some new greeting cards I made over the summer.

Heart Shaped Zebra Print Card



I made this heart shaped zebra card with the same paper I used in this journal. It's kind of like my heart shaped journal, but it's a card. I love the zebra print.

Beauty of Friendship Gold Heart Greeting Card



This card has a quote about friendship on it from a stamp that I really like. Then I just added gold paper and embossing powder.

One of my housemate is ordering a custom, mini journal from me. I'm excited because this is my first sale in a while. She picked out a decorative paper she wanted that is white with pink flowers on it. I will post in the process/finished photos of it once I get started.

I was originally just going to buy just paper for the custom journal, but I figured I might as well stock up on some new papers too. I got some decorative paper I've been wanting to order for a while, like this baby themed clothes one. Somebody suggested I make baby greeting cards when I was at a craft show and that's something I haven't tried yet.

I also bought some Moo Cards. They were giving away free business cards if you paid for shipping, but I thought I'd get stickers too to help promote my shop. Moo makes good quality products, but they're kind of expensive. The stickers were pretty cheap though and they seem like they'll be really cute. I'm having different photos of my items on them. I think I might give some other with orders or use them to promote my shop. Let me know what you do with stickers. :)

I went to volunteer at the Market House yesterday (the local grocery store) and gave the owner there my business card because they sell some crafts there. She said vendors rent out space for about $10/month which isn't bad (considering craft shows can cost hundreds of dollars for a table for just one day). It will be nice to get my items out more and I'll be able to see my items every time I go in the shop. I also noticed there was a craft show nearby me in October. It's too late to apply though and it's a little too expensive for me right now. My mom also said she heard of some craft shows near my hometown that she might do for me.

I'm making a wishlist for my birthday. I'm looking for a tote bag so let me know if you see any cute bags or items I might like. :)
