New Stuff on Etsy!

July 3, 2008 By admin

Here’s my Orange 4×6 frame with flowers. Click here to view it on etsy.

Next, is a similar frame. It’s more green and features more flowers and less gems. Click here to view the Etsy listing.

Finally (for tonight), we have a Scrapbooking/Paper Craft Kit, featuring items from the Basic Grey Line of products. Click here to view the listing on etsy.

A big thanks to my dad for letting me use his Nikon D50 SLR!!! the pictures turn out sooo much better than when i use my busted Canon Powershot A630.

I took photos of a few more items I need to post on etsy and will hopefully take care of editing photos and posting them on Friday.

I’m very tired now, so I’m off to bed.

I’ve just added five sets of gift tags to my Etsy Shop.

One set (pictured below) features blue/green/tan-ish Basic Grey paper with sage green raffia flower and tie. Click here to view the item listing.

The next two sets include a brown and light blue polka-dot paper and blue raffia flower ties. (I can’t recall what line the paper is from, sorry!) Click here to view the listing.

Finally, I have two sets of five brown and light blue paisley-patterned paper with blue raffia ties (same paper line as above… but the name escapes me). Click here to view the listing.

If you have a specific gift card color scheme/design you’re looking for or would like them in a larger quantity, please send me an email (amykant-at-gmail-dot-com) or convo me on Etsy.

Logo needed for business cards, print materials, rubber stamp

May 14, 2008 By admin

This is embarrassing, but I’m looking for a logo for this site, business cards and a custom-made rubber stamp to put on my handmade paper goods.

Why is it embarrassing? Because I do some graphic design at work but I am just not feeling the inspiration for my own site. I have some ideas in my head but am having problems converting these ideas into an actual logo.

Ideally, this logo would be flexible (look good at 90x90px or 500×500 px), possibly square-shaped and not too complex. I love simple designs and even a cool line-drawing type logo using my initials – AK or AMK – would be ok.

As I mentioned, I’m looking for this logo to be easily transferred onto a regular-sized business card, incorporated into the header of this website and also be part of a custom-ordered rubber stamp for use on the back of all my handmade paper goods.

You interested? Know of someone who might be interested? I’m willing to pay or barter and want full copyright ownership of logo upon completion.

Contact me for more information or to pitch your design. amykant-at-gmail-dot-com.

Who knows… maybe I’ll magically come up with something in photoshop in the next week or so… but due to a recent injury (longggggggggg story) I have to limit my time on the computer (typing aggrevates the injury).

Could this be the new Paypal?

May 10, 2008 By admin

I’m hearing quite a bit about RME- Revolution Money Exchange – and have decided to give it a try. It’s basically like paypal only it doesn’t charge fees.

I’ve seen quite a few Etsy shops offering this as payment option.

Plus, if you sign up by May 15, they’ll deposit $25 into your account!!!
