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.

Handmade cards

May 8, 2008 By admin

I absolutely love making cards – greeting cards, postcards, note cards, invitations, thank yous, etc…

For awhile I’ve been thinking about starting a small business. I have taken the first step – opening an Etsy shop – and my father and I are exhibiting at a craft/artisan fair in November. I am also looking into selling some religious-themed items on consignment at my church’s bookstore.

Etsy has an Alchemy feature – where people can commission custom handmade work from the Etsy community. I have been looking over some of these solicitations for the past couple days and have almost placed a couple card/invitation-related bids.

I figure, it’s one way to start, right?

You see… some day, I would love to design/make custom, handmade wedding invitations, baby announcements, thank yous, etc.

What is the best way to start?

P.S. Gotta come up with a business card design… ugh.

P.P.S. the images in this post are ATCs (artist trading cards) I’ve made for swap-bot swaps.
