Here’s what a section of my desk looks like after a weekend of working on and finishing orders: Not so pretty! Unfortunately I didn’t manage to take proper pictures of everything I completed, but hopefully my customers’ll send me some shots of how they use their new paper accessories. ;] And yes, there are four [...]

Laureen’s Wedding: Hanging Tags, Banner
Just in time for Valentine’s Day– here’s some real-life love in action that I was delighted to have been a part of!

As Featured In: Kissing Treasury
Last week, I introduced my two brand-new Valentine’s Day/Anniversary/Wedding cards, and within 24 hours, the Heart Balloon in a Jar card was featured in an Etsy treasury!

Custom Order: Australia-themed Wedding Card/Mobile/Wind Charm
Awhile ago, I received an order for a custom wedding card.

Lovers’ Tandem Bicycle Card with Custom Tweaks
A very good and very special friend asked for a re-make of the ever-popular Lovers’ Tandem Bicycle Card, previously featured here.

After a few e-mails confirming the details, we settled that 200 tags would be made and shipped off [...]
Custom Speech Bubble Wedding Card
Let’s take a wee break from Christmas posts, shall we? Today’s post is on a custom card that I made for a customer. Still an extremely joyous occassion– a wedding! You’re probably thinking, “Has Kelly lost her mind?! This is hardly wedding-ish!”– and I wouldn’t blame you. This card definitely needs some explaining. My customer [...]
Custom Wedding Decor: Banner and Hanging Tags
A few days ago, I blogged about these custom Wedding Hanging Tags I made for a customer. She’s since picked them up, and I believe she’s getting married today! I thought it’d be timely to share what I made for her wedding decor. I received an e-mail from the most offbeat Singaporean bride I’ve ever met, [...]

Just got back from a weekend of performances and dancing (and an injury), and thought I’d give you a sneak peek into what I’m working on: vintage Wedding Hanging Tags, for a Wishing Tree (to replace a guestbook). If you are wondering what I’ll be up to for the next hour or so, I’ll be [...]
