Quote of the Month Club revisited.

One of my favorite things about sending out the Quote of the Month Club each month?  Seeing all the cards lined up on my worktable....

A giveaway!

All week I am featuring teacher gift ideas, but today I invite you to share your favorite gift ideas for a chance to win a lettergirl stamp.  You can give it to a treasured teacher or keep it for yourself.  (I won't tell, promise.)

This giveaway is for one handwritten name stamp, in your choice of convenient self-inking or traditional red rubber.  Use the stamp to make your own notecards, gift tags, or labels.  You'll get your choice of any of my handwritten lettering      styles too.

To enter, leave a comment on this post by midnight on Sunday, May 19th.  Let me know your best gift idea for teachers -- whether it's your child's 3rd grade teacher or a mentor who's helped you as an adult.  I'll draw a winner bright & early on Monday.  Good luck!

 

Teacher gift week, part three: wall decals.

Repositionable wall decals from Spoonflower are eco-friendly and come in three designs (Dreams, Happiness, and Good Thoughts) and three sizes (5", 15", and 30").  I've moved this one around my studio three times and it's still sticking like brand new.  Prices start at just $5 for a small decal. 

Teacher gift week, part two.

I know what it's like to have a lot of teachers I want to thank and not a lot of funds in the budget.  Enter these notecards:  only $12 for a sweet set of 10. 

Written and illustrated by hand, the motif on each set varies: stars, leaves, an apple, a pencil -- whatever looks best with the individual name (or whatever you have your heart set on).  Sale ends Sunday.

Teacher gift week - 20% off this week only!

Each day this week I'll feature a different teacher gift idea.  Teacher gifts from my etsy shop are 20% off this week -- no coupon needed.

I love making bookplate stamps for teacher gifts!  These stamps are available in convenient self-inking or traditional red rubber and will last for years. 

And coming Thursday:  a teacher gift week giveaway....

New in the shop: quotation greeting cards.

It's here!  My newest set of greeting cards -- 8 of my favorite quotations, handwritten & printed in color, then matted & mounted on heavy folded stock.  Each set includes two birthday cards, and one each of wedding, baby, graduation, thank you, sympathy, and get well cards. 

I am thinking of framing a few of these instead of mailing them out!

Free shipping for card sets through Wednesday, domestic purchases only.  No coupon needed, just make your purchase through May 8th.

Coming soon: greeting card sets.

A few years before I started my etsy shop, I sold my custom stationery at boutique paper stores around the country, and had a few greeting cards in the mix too.  I used to package them up in clear bags tied with pretty ribbon -- a couple of birthday cards, a wedding card, one for graduation, and sympathy and get well, maybe a new baby card.  My sister-in-law Carol liked them so much that she still orders a few packages every year.

Time for an update!  I've written some of my favorite quotes, printed them in color and mounted them in layers on beautiful papers. (And the clear bags are now made of recycled plastic.)  I'll have the card sets available tomorrow during my open studio hours and available on etsy by the end of the week.  Happy Monday!

Lettergirl Pillows at Spoonflower.

I finally have a few photos of the pillows I stitched up from my custom fabric at Spoonflower. 

The fabric is called Four Love Pillows and when you buy a yard (starting at $17.50) you'll get four different pillow fronts, with four of my favorite quotes.  You can also buy just a fat quarter and get only the green pillow shown here.

Before I stitched the pillows together, I added some embroidery:  this one has a simple running stitch inside the border.  And the one below has little seed beeds stitched into the scallops:

I'd love to see what you can do with the Four Love Pillows fabric!
