Etsy

Well, I've been putting this off for awhile but I think I will finally just take a chance and start. I'm going to start selling some cards on Etsy.com. I have not posted anything yet because I am still trying to figure out how it works, how much to price things and how to send it. If anyone has any tips or advice on how to use Etsy.com for me it would be much appreciated and welcomed!

 Here is a sample of what I am going to sell at first. I made these blank cards and will sell them as a stationary. I made the cards in a small square shape with the cute multicolored birds on them. I also handmade the envelope's. They are not perfect yet, But with practice they will get better.  So keep an eye out if you are interested. I will post my etsy on here when it is ready!







Weddings, weddings and more weddings

I literally threw this card together in 4 minutes with leftover scraps( that's why I do not throw anything away). We were almost late for a wedding and then I remembered we had no card. I had made the dress earlier with a tutorial on youtube and it was the most difficult thing I have ever done. It took me around an hour to make that stupid thing. Oh and after I rushed to make the card I forget the card and gift at home...of course I did. 


Another example of how I don't throw anything away. That little gift bag was a party favor at my friend Samantha's Wedding ( from a few years ago. I just spruced it up a little with some ribbon and added tissue paper. Note the cut on the right side that i hate. I had messed up on that side and decided to just give it a little cute wave. haha I regret that. 


Crazy is the way to be

Life has been pretty nuts lately. We had a family wedding and had TONS Of people around, it was great! I got to see friends and family. I was most excited to see my niece Amalya and even though she is only 8, one of my best friends Nina. It was a great/crazy week. Full of laughter and fun, that is ALWAYS how it is when we all get together.
