New ideas, Christmas In July, etc.

First, look for big sales in my shop the last week or two in July. I'm participating in Etsy's and The Little Black Box Christmas in July sale! I have lots to finish up and list still, but it's coming! It's a great way to get started on gifts (or cards or gift tags for yourself) while saving some $$ early.

I have a few new ideas, but I'd love to know what people think. I just got a new Cricut cartridge that cuts paper dolls, fairy tale characters and scenes (3 Little Pigs, Gingerbread Man, Goldilocks and the 3 Bears, Little Red Riding Hood, etc.), and I'm really excited to play with it! I'm thinking of making the characters along w/ the settings (straw house, etc.) in a few different ways, but this is where I need your opinions. Here are my ideas:

--make them and paper piece them w/ cardstock, mat on chipboard, then adhere them to craft sticks for more of a puppet show feel
--make them as above, then add magnets to the back to be used w/ cookie sheets or on refridgerators
--make them as above, then add velcro on the backs to be used w/ flannel boards
--just make the characters and sell as sets for classrooms, etc.

Any thoughts? I'll give a free set to someone who posts a comment offering advice. :)

All around town...

So, Little S and I went to the Pink Moon Cupcake Bakery in Powell, Ohio today to take some onesies for consignment at the Circa Circus shop. I loved it! I'm very excited for the opportunity to try onesies on consignment, and especially, in Old Powell. I've included some photos of the display inside the shop.

If you're around central Ohio, I now have..

--Journal Jars and Trifold Frames in Roscoe Village

--Cards at Smoothie Brews coffee shop in Pataskala

--and now Onesies at the Pink Moon Cupcake Bakery in Powell

New items for kids!

I'm not sure about listing all of these on Etsy due to licensing issues, but I wanted to let you know that I'm currently working on invites and paper bag albums for Thomas the Tank Engine, Dora the Explorer, Diego, Blue's Clues, Disney, and Superman.

If you're interested in any of these, I can always do a custom listing for you. I'll post pictures when I get a chance!

Thanks! Have a Happy 4th of July!

Some new loves!

I've tried some new things lately, and I must admit I love some of them!! I absolutely love making personalized stationary for kids, invitations, blank notecards, and mini notecards! I've also noticed that Etsy doesn't seem to have much for teachers to actually use, so I've created my first classroom set (bulletin board cutouts, deskplates, and nametags). I'm really excited about the latest items! Let me know what you think.

The first custom wedding guest book is finished!

This Etsy bride-to-be wants a really vegan, recycled/ upcycled wedding, so her perfect guest book was a paper bag album. The groomsmen are wearing Hawaiian shirts, thus the Hawaiian prints throughout. The inside has 10 pages for guest signatures that all look like the one in the photo. I finished it off with ring clips and orange ribbons. I think this turned out great! Enjoy!

Some new items and some relists

I've sold 2 of the 3 sets (both Amy Butler sets) of blank notecards, so I will be listing more of those soon. I did just list some Father's Day cards (still time to order!), a premade layouts, and relisted several onesies. I have more in my sold section that could be made again if someone is interested. I just haven't relisted them all yet.

Hoping for a busy week again! I'm currently working on a baby shower guest book and a wedding guest book for Etsy gals, too. I'll post pictures when I finish.

New items!

Just finished a few custom orders and some new things for my Etsy shop. Take a look around! I'm really loving how the clean, simple blank notecards look lately. I think I'll make some new ones for myself!
