Cards

Sometimes I wonder if I’ll ever resurface on my blog now that I’m juggling two little ones …but I seem to have a free moment right now so I’m going to take advantage of it :) We have finally achieved a bit of a sleep rhythm with our now 2 month old and it’s giving me a bit more down time. Yay!

I don’t have any new work to show just yet but I really wanted to share some beautiful birthday card designs that were created by Danielle over at Paper Inspirations. She used my ‘Birthday Parade‘ stamp design to create two very different (but equally cute and fun!) card designs. I love the colour palettes in both of them and all her wonderful attention to detail!

Hope to be posting some new work soon!

The most wonderful time of year is just around the corner so it’s about time to get started on those Christmas cards! Paperworks Co. and I have collaborated on a new collection of 6 Christmas stamps. This collection is getting some great feedback so I really hope you like them. I’d love to hear which is your favorite. I think I’m particularly drawn to the little girl holding the snow globe :)

I also wanted to post this beautiful card designed by Sylvia over at Mabie Stampin’. I was drawn to the delicate colours and simplicity of the design! If you’ve made a card with one of my Christmas stamps, I’d love for you to post a link in the comments.

And if you act fast, you can receive an additional 10% off any of the stamps in the collection if you order this weekend! Simply enter the promo code “PWCOXMAS” when you checkout. This offer is valid until Monday night (Oct 18th).

It was a beautiful day today! We got the kiddy pool out and enjoyed a sunny afternoon in our backyard. It’s so hard to focus on work this time of year though.. especially with a toddler in tow! He loves being outside and so does his mommy. We tend to spend most of our sunny days outside, playing in the sand or visiting the park :)

But of course mommy still has to work! I’ve been working on some really fun stuff for the last couple weeks. I’ve received quite a few custom requests and have been working with a lot of small businesses and individuals which I always enjoy. One of the projects I just completed was this custom birth card announcement for a woman in Belgium. She fell in love with this little girl illustration and requested for me to design a card for her. This kind of work is always welcome so please feel free to contact me if you are looking for something similar!

Along with getting my portfolio together this New Year, I’m also working on updating my online store at ImageKind. I’ve uploaded these latest prints to my store. I’d love to see these printed on canvas! If you’re interested in purchasing a print or having them printed on canvas, both options are available at ImageKind. Prices start at $36.23 for canvases, $18.25 for prints, and $4.99 for greeting cards.

I’m also looking into selling some of my artwork locally. I’d really like to find a great quality and priced canvas printer (either locally or online) so I can print these two pieces on canvas and sell them at local baby boutiques. These illustrations would work so well for a nursery or children’s room! I’d really like to get my act together this year and start selling some of my work locally. Does anyone know of a good online canvas printer? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

In the meantime, feel free to pop on over to my ImageKind store and take a look at my latest prints for sale. Also, if you’re ever interested in purchasing a print of an illustration that is not available at ImageKind, let me know and I’ll make some arrangements for you :)

Thanks for stopping by!

Thank you ALL so much for your congrats on my little bundle! He’s brought so much happiness to my life already! He’s been a pretty good sleeper today so I’ve been able to get this post together for you all :o)

Over the past few months I’ve been working on a children’s birthday card collection for Bug Art. I’ve finally completed the collection and am now able to show you them. I’ve posted a few here but if you pop over to my portfolio section, you can view the full collection. They’re going to be produced with gold and glitter so they’ll be extra special in person. I hope you like them!

Even though I’m a mommy now and my number one priority is my little pumpkin, I’m going to make lots of effort to keep my blog current and keep you posted on any interesting work I have on the go! Have a great week :o)
