Custom Broadway-Themed Dinosaur Card
I promised that this card would be worth the visit, so here it is: A broadway-themed dinosaur birthday card! A customer felt so much in love with Evan the Gentlemanly bow-tied Brontosaurus, that she came with a request for her own custom dinosaur. Her giftee loves musicals and so she wanted a dinosaur with a bow-tie, [...]

As Featured In: The Land of Sharon Pakir
Earlier this week, I blogged about some new feedback that I’d received on Etsy.

PinkSuitcase approached me awhile back to [...]

New Feedback
One of the great things about owning and running a small little handmade business is the heart and art that goes into each piece– and I mean that in terms of processes too. I love getting to know a little bit more about each customer with every custom order I take, and (as I’m sure [...]
As Featured In: TimeOut Singapore Magazine
Whoopee– Andrew bequeathed onto me this month’s issue of the TimeOut Singapore magazine, where Paper Exploits is featured!

It is always so nice to hear what customers say after they receive their orders in the mail. I just wanted to highlight two here today: 1) Remember how I created a custom Cherry Blossom with Eyelets card awhile back for a customer? He left me feedback saying that he would’ve paid more for the [...]
