congratulations cards

Ok I just have a few more cards to share with you that are new to the shop.  The first are these congratulations cards.  

You can buy these cards at my shop: www.elliebelliehandmade.etsy.com or email me at elliebelliehandmade@gmail.com.  I can also change the label to say anything you'd like - including your name.  

I'm also thinking about doing a little sale on Instagram soon....what do you think??  Happy Monday everyone!  

a little thank you

I owe a big thank you to my mom and dad for sitting me down after every Christmas and birthday and making me write thank you notes.  I'm not being sarcastic - I really am thankful.  I am so appreciative of this because I still to this day write thank you cards.  And unfortunately I think it's a lost art.  We move so fast from one thing to the next and we rarely sit down to pull out a nice card, grab our favorite pen (preferably an ink roller), summon our pretty hand writing, and jot a thank you note.  My grandma wrote not just thank cards but notes in general and I kept many of them.  What a special thing it is to have her sweet handwriting and kind words always.   So, am I making you feel like you need some thank you notes of your own yet?!?!?  Here you go!  

These little cuties are listed in my shop.  
Have a wonderful day!!  

get it done

Get it done.  I seriously can't say that without thinking, "git r done!!"... especially because Mater is a favorite in our household.

This is the last item in the gold and grey product line...a notepad!  

This is a small notepad - 5" x 8".  It's perfect to tuck in a drawer, your purse, leave on the counter...you name it!  

As with all of my products, I'm happy to customize it to meet your needs.  A personalized notepad makes a great gift.  

{shop update} hello there

Ok so I am seriously freaking out.  The lovely Sarah Scheidler took pictures of the cards, tags, and notepads that I have ready to add to my shop and I am in love with them!  Eeeek!  I am really happy with the designs I have to share with you and couldn't be more happy with her point of view in photographing them.  So, without further ado, here is my first release.  I have shared this design before but of course had to share these pictures.    

First of all, let me say I am obsessed with the color scheme.  Gold, grey, and pool blue??? Yes, please!  

This little card is 3 1/2" x 4 7/8"- just perfect for when you need to drop a quick line.  

I can personalize the sentiment - thank you, just a note, your name...whatever!  

Please check out Sarah's work at www.sarahscheidler.com and her Facebook page.  Thanks for swinging by!  I'm super excited to share more throughout this week and next!  

[shop update] birthday banner

I've got a little shop update: happy birthday banner is in the shop!  Check it out in my shop.  If you'd like to order a custom one, let me know.  I'd love to make one for you!    Happy Sunday, y'all!

congratulations cards

One of my favorite clients had me make congratulations cards to give to new parents.  She wanted boy themed, girl themed, and gender neutral themed cards.  I had a blast making these and am thinking of making more to post in my etsy shop.... what do you think??

packaging

One of my very favorite things about selling my work is the packaging!  I'm a firm believer that if you buy something handmade, you should feel like you are getting a gift.  This philosophy influences how I work with people, the details I put into my designs, and my packaging.  Below are a couple of instagram shots of my packaging....when will I pull out my DSLR again???

My items are always wrapped in kraft paper or put into a kraft bag.  I have these Paper Source vellum oval label stickers with my shop name that go on top of the bag.  I often wrap some baker's twine or put washi on the bag as well.  I was keeping it simple here.

I think it's fun when you get mail and the outer packaging looks special.  I try to use fun fonts for the addresses but now that I usually print labels from home, this doesn't happen as much.  There is always washi though!

All this packaging talk is motivating me to wrap the rest of the Christmas gifts....

Have a great one!
