Cards

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)

A little project I just recently completed on the side are some card designs for a company in the UK, CocoCards. We’ve just done a few to start – I designed a girl’s birthday invitation and two baby announcements (one for a boy and one for a girl) Click here to view one of the designs on the website!
