Cards for many occasions

What have I been doing lately? Designing cards for all occasions. It's been really fun getting back to something I really enjoy doing. I have already had quite a big success with my Baby Sea Turtles baby shower invitations and birth announcements so I decided to take it a step further and apply my other animal designs to cards. I also have quite a bit of experience designing cards when I worked in corporate America. My last company utilized my talents quite a bit having me design all sorts of invites for their events. But, I am not just doing baby shower invites and birth announcements. I am tapping into wedding, birthday, business cards and stationery. It will take some time to build up inventory (or should I say digital inventory). I offer my cards digitally for anyone to take to any photo finisher or printer of their choice. But, customers can also choose printing their cards through me. All in all, it has been fun and exciting starting something new and I am feeling very hopeful that this will be a fun little side business.

It's Been a While

It has been quite a long time since I blogged on my site. It's largely due to that fact that I am seriously overwhelmed with taking care of my kiddos. Ever since my son was born this past June and taking care of my 3 year old son life has just been so crazy! I make all these goals for myself and "to-do" lists, but only a fraction of that list gets accomplished. So, with that said, I simply have not had any time to dedicate to my business. I still have some outstanding orders that I have to complete, but once I am done with that I will be taking a break from the business and only producing items when I have the time. This is not to say that if someone were to ask me to create something custom for them I wouldn't entertain the request.

On another note, I recently reviewed my sales report for the entire year (Etsy, CafePress and Zazzle) and here are the stats for my most popular designs (1 being the most popular)

1. Baby Sea Turtle












2. Baby Panda & Mama
3. Pink (Sakura) Cherry Blossom
4. Blue Elephant Walk

Sakura Cherry Blossom Birth Announcement

A NEW ADDITION to my baby birth announcements section on Etsy.

I've taken my Cherry Blossom (sakura) design and designed a modern yet elegant birth announcement. Appropriate for a sweet new baby girl.

Symbolism of the Sakura:
"In China, the cherry blossom is a symbol of feminine beauty. It also represents the feminine principle and love in the language of herbs. In Japan, cherry blossoms symbolize the transience of life because of their short blooming times. They have also come to represent clouds of their nature of blooming en masse. Falling blossoms are metaphors for fallen warriors who died bravely in battle. This connotation links them with the samurai."
