{update} new paperie items!

happy monday everyone, wanted to give you an update of the items i've added to my paperie shop in the event you don't follow us on twitter or our facebook page.  but i've been trying to get more offerings listed in my paperie shop {yes i still make jewelry, but since the cost of gold and silver are up, i've taken a little break from the jewelry side of things}... and i'm starting to offer printable designs for my clients who prefer to DIY their paper goods.  below are a few new designs i listed the other day...

:: how do the printable files work? ::

well, when you order any of these new collections, i will personalize the colors and names/monograms and send you a PDF file via email.  that PDF will include 2 of each design in the file 

{giving you 4 A2 sized note cards per printed sheet}

then all you need to do is print or have this file printed on bright white card stock and then cut them to size... et voila! you have your own DIY personalized stationery, that you can print and re-print when you need more!  these listings don't include envelopes, but this way you have the freedom to pick out your envelope colors that suit your personal preference!

:: remember :: 

you can have the colors customized, so if you like a design but prefer different colors not a problem! 

i know there may be some out there thinking, "hmmm, but what if i don't have the time or don't want to DIY but i want to order some of these?" ... not a problem, i'll be adding listings soon too for the printed versions of these designs that will come with envelopes too! so keep your eyes open for those additions to the shop in the near future!


also, i've added some new rubber stamp designs too!

after many requests for circular return address stamps, here are my first three design offerings!

::  the custom circle address stamp  ::

i'm torn between them all, i love the hand drawn look of the {wreath} boarder, but i'm always a sucker for anything preppy so i love the {double stripe}, and the {retro} is too cute!

next is a different take on the address stamp, i give you 

::  the Modern address stamp ::

now, this is one of my new personal favorites! the preppy circle monogram stamp was SOOO incredibly popular right before Christmas that i had to design a more whimsical + eclectic monogram stamp offering, and here's what i came up with!

the

 :: custom calligraphy monogram stamp ::

here's a photo i snapped of the finished stamp, these stamps are great for embellishing stationery, envelopes or even gift tags like the one shown below.

and here's the solo initial version of the stamp

:: the custom calligraphy initial stamp ::

and some of the letter samples, to view the rest of the letters please visit the listing!

ok, so i think that's enough updating for one night, good night everyone and stay tuned, another fun new project announcement is coming VERY soon =)

valentines do-it-yourself printables

recently i had the opportunity to style the windows of a local bridal shop: the wedding panty... and it just so happened that i was able to incorporate my recent valentines diy printable files into the designs {with a little customized tweaking}. if you're in need of some quick, easy and cute valentines decor, check out these printables... without further ado,  i think the images pretty much speak for themselves, enjoy the colorful eye candy!

{printable cupcake toppers} find them in my shop here

 they can be customized too... like this cake topper that says la-la-love!

again, the flags are customized as dessert tags letting guests know in a cohesive way what the item is

more custom dessert tags

i crafted two interlocking paper heart chains to swag behind the hutch that houses the dessert display

in the other window we made little love notes, which are a fun alternative to a guest book

a close up of the coordinated bridal sash to match the style and colors of the widow displays, i can customize materials to ensure your vision is tied throughout your look too!

the ball jars tied in perfectly color-wise... 

i also crafted these coffee filter puffs and adorned some with aqua gliter, so worth it!

{creative time} diy cake stands

a few days ago i got a little break in between working on orders, running errands, etc. to make something i had been wanting to make for awhile!

like what you ask?  well, diy'd cake stands similar to this photo inspiration i found on apartment therapy

i finally found these super cute plates at cost plus {in our blue color scheme} and for about $1.50 a pop! and i used some glass candlesticks  to create the pedestals. here are some photos of how they turned out!

i bought both a dinner plate and salad plate so that i could stack them like so...

i love that the two plates don't have the same pattern, but still compliment one another

if you're interested in creating something similar, i found the easy tutorial on design sponge, and seriously people i takes maybe five minuets to stick the candle sticks to the dishes, and the rest is just drying/ set up time for the epoxy... really really easy crafting idea!

i just wonder if i should test out a few of these in my shop? =)
