I can’t help but feel a little burnt out now that Christmas
is over. This year I made over 600 Christmas cards and lots of tags as well. However,
my work as a seller doesn’t stop here—I already need to be thinking about what I’m
going to sell for Valentine’s Day and I need to be getting ready for Wedding
season as well. But, I don’t know why I feel stuck right now, like I’m in a haze—the
best way I can describe what I’m feeling is: a creative burn out. I haven’t had
a sale in about a week so that was enough time for me to take a break (even
though I didn’t want to because I can never manage to stop creating) but I
think I really needed it. During that small break I did cheat and spend an
entire day coming up with new V-day cards for my shop. This year I’m going to
be offering 3 x 3 cards with Kraft envelopes so I’m super-duper excited about
that—I think sometimes I get intimidated by a full 4 x 6 inch space; and, working
with a mini space is always so fun for me. I also thought it would be fun for
me to get some feedback from you! I’ve created 6 mini cards and I’d very much like
it if you told me which of them are you favorite. You can list them all in
order from best to worst or just tell me if you like one or two—either way is
fine by me. I just think it would be sweet if I could get feedback from someone
else for a change.
This week I went to Joanns to spend use some of my gift
cards and I found this amazing flower wreath stamp. When I saw it sitting on
the shelf I was a bit in shock at its beauty—but then I quickly grabbed it
because it was the last one. I didn’t even care how much it was—cute stamps are
worth any price to me.
When I was at the store I also picked up this baby shower
stamp set, it’s SO cute + I also got a happy birthday stamp set because I
realized I don’t have very many of those and I’d like to start creating
birthday card sets.
Isn’t the wreath gorgeous? I colored the flower and leaves
in using stamp markers and I stamped this lovely ‘I love you’ sentiment. I
think it’s perfect for Valentine’s Day.
Here is a sample of a baby shower invitation I’m wokin’ on—it’s
in the beginning stages.
Lastly, I have these two birthday cards. I think they’re so
dreamy and whimsical. Go ahead and let me know what you think in the comments,
and let me know which of the mini cards shown above are your favorites too. I’d
really love to hear from you! Take care and have a great weekend!
They're all fabulous well done! I would personally buy the wreath cards and "we're the perfect blend" xoxo
ReplyDeleteThank you for your feedback! It's funny cuz I really don't like that one but my sisters love it so I included it to find out how many people would love it too. Turns out it's a smash so I think I'm going to add that one to my shop for sure! :-D
DeleteThey are All lovely. My favorites are the first set, the perfect blend being my fave. I like the first card a lot too.I love birds especially owls ;) love the colors of the wreathe card :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the feedback Catriona! I'm so in love with the wreath card too. When I found the stamp I was like...OMG! :-D Thanks for your vote!
DeleteMy fave of V day cards are: No. 1, 6 and 4.
ReplyDeleteAnd I like your baby shower and birthday cards too. :)
Thank you so much for voting! I really appreciate it ;-D
DeleteYour cards are all so cute! My favorite Valentine's cards are numbers 5 and 6. I really like the black and white with a little bit of color. Now I need to start making my Valentine's cards!!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your feedback Elise! :-D
DeleteThey are all cute! But since you asked... 1,5,3,2,4,6
ReplyDeleteYour new stamps are so sweet!
Thank you for taking the time to put them in order Lisa! I super-duper appreciate it! :-p
DeleteThese cards are so cute. I really like them in this order 6,3,2,1,4,5.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! I love number six a lot too. At first I was wondering if there was too much going on--but I think I really love it the way it is. :-p
DeleteI love them all but if I had to pick I would say 1 and 4 are my favorites. I think I like 1 the best because isn't the typical v.d. card. Very funny!
ReplyDeleteI love number 1 also because it's funny! It's a nice change to my otherwise not so funny cards, hehe. Thanks for voting!
DeleteThey're all great, but my specific faves are 3, 4, and 6. I love that wreath one!! Amazing!

ReplyDelete:-D Thank you so much for voting! The bears expression is too cute!
