Oh I have so much to share!

Hello everyone! Wow, I have not posted for a while, so sorry about that. Some awesome things have happened with this little card business of mine.

I had another sale on Etsy, the customer contacted me though my Facebook page. The card I sold was one of my favorites and it was one that I stepped out of my norm for. I have posted the card below.

I have submitted an application to have my cards sold at a store called the Artsmiths here in Pittsburgh. I have been trying so many different things this year, and between my cards and working my craft on the computer, I am blown away with what I am doing. The application was super stressful for me. I am not one to sell myself, but it is easier for me to sell my work. 


Just recently I finished up some graduation cards for a family we have met here since moving to Pittsburgh. They own an awesome pizza place in our neighborhood named Sammy's Pizza. Here are the cards I made for the owner and her daughter for the son.
 
I must not have taken a picture of this card after I added his name to the card front. I wanted this one to be clean and simple so I went with just a tassel and used the school's colors of blue and white.

This one was a fun one. I made it into a shaker card. I know it is a little difficult to see, but inside the shaker cap is the word "Congrats" and a black graduation cap. The background paper is a Darice embossing plated for graduation caps about it. Both of the ladies were pleased with their cards.

And most importantly I have wonderful news to announce! July will be my guest design month with Faery Ink! If you notice my badge is up at the top of this blog. I am so excited for the privilege to work so closely with the owner and designer of Faery Ink. So with that being said, be on the lookout for more postings on here!
