New Item: Mermaid Invite and more!

I just added a few new items to my store, one of which is this cute mermaid illustration I did for an invite. I'll be adding more of these designs to my store in the near future. I think this is the direction I want to take my store to.

 

And here are some other designs that I did a while ago - a cute little notecard, and 2 invites. All these designs are PDFs and the cupcake invite is an editable one (similar to the editable recipe card and princess invite I've done earlier).

Check out my store for more information on them.

Hope you like!

FREE Cupcake Topper

Hey everyone, here's another free printable for you! Cupcake toppers! They were really fun to design and I'm excited to design more of them as well as some other party stationery! It also gave me an excuse to buy a cupcake from the bakery so that I could photograph it with a topper (and eat it after!) Hope you like them, let me know what you're going to use them for! :)

Have a great week everyone

MORE NEW ITEMS

I'm on a roll! How did I manage to make more new polymer clay items? Especially this month too. I've been so busy with work, finishing deadline for the year and going to a few events - engagement parties, christmas parties, birthdays etc. Not to mention all the christmas duties - searching for presents, putting the tree up, writing cards, and wrapping presents! But I can not wait for the festive holidays to begin. Only 7 working days left for me yippee!

This year I'm going away with friends over new year and doing the family thing over Christmas. But mostly I just wanted to RELAX and not have much planned. What have you guys got planned over Christmas and New Years?

And now, introducing my new items: Peeled banana earrings, hamburger earrings, cupcake, lollipop, and ice cream earrings. All available in my store now!

Tinsel and Baubles,

New art

Hey bloggers! As promised, here are a few pieces of finished artwork for my new stationery set. The stationery set includes notepaper, matching envelopes and stickers. It will soon be available to buy at my store.

I finally got my printer to work properly so I've printed the set myself and hand-made the envelopes for a more personal touch! It was so much fun making, designing and seeing the final thing printed!

Oh and I almost forgot! Do you guys remember ages ago, I designed a page for the 2010 diary project? To refresh your memories, go back here. Well, the lovely Lucy has printed and sent me the final product! It's absolutely stunning and I love all the other artists' work. Each page is unique and different, there's nothing like it. And now I get to flick through and will eventually visit every single artist's website. So much fun! To have a look at the artist's inside the diary or to purchase one go here.

Sweets and candy,

Food Glorious Food

I've been drawing a lot lately. Only of small things that I've been doodling when I'm at home watching tv or on the train to work. I've always been interested in watercolours so decided that I'd have a go!

1. Balloons and Bunnies
2. Care for a cupcake?
3. Sushi time, all the time.
4. Vegetables....and cheese, what a lovely combination!

Don't know what I'm going to do with these yet. Maybe make some cool stationery with them! I wish I had more time in the day to concentrate on Tinys! Does anyone else with a fulltime job find it hard to juggle this?

MORE NEW ITEMS

And here are some more I've posted up in my store! It looks pretty good now that it's filled with all these new items if I do say so myself! For a while it's been pretty bare - I must not leave it for too long next time but I get so busy at work it's hard to keep up! If only there were more hours in a day....

NEW ITEMS

Come check it out! I got the final piece to my 5 set Alice in Wonderland postcards - The mighty scary Queen of Hearts ("Off with your head!"). This now completes my Wonderland set and is available to buy on my Etsy store. (I love them so much!)

I have also added a few more lovely polymer clay jewellery trinkets and a cupcake stationery writing set! This set comes with 10 lined writing sheets with a cupcake design on the back, 10 matching cupcake envelopes, 1 magnetic bookmark and some cupcake cutouts to decorate however you please.

My favourite item? The cupcake bookmark! It's so cute and adorable and USEFUL! I am constantly losing my bookmarks (weird because they're there to help find - does anyone else lose theirs?) but now I won't have to worry because now I have this! The bottom of the bookmark holds a small flat magnet which snaps together the pages you're reading so the mark doesn't fall out! Smart!

Cupcake Giveaway

This is exciting news! Cupcake obsessed Suzi from Minnesota contacted me in regards to some of my cupcake jewellery for a giveaway she's having on her amazing blog. It's such a great idea and something I may have to consider doing in the future! She's giving away a pair of my cute and delicious purple cupcake earrings and an adorable cupcake necklace to anyone that comments to her post SO GO THERE NOW before you miss out!

While you're there don't forget to read along her other posts and follow her blog, it really is an interesting read, you won't be disappointed.

Suzi - Thanks again so much.

A Talented Artist: rkdsign88

A couple of weeks ago I stumbled on this fantastic etsy shop by Rita. I bought a gorgeous and adorable print of a girl holding a tray of a teapot/teacup set. But there are much more talented artworks that is available to buy from her shop (and so cheap too). Here are only just a selected few of my faves.

She is incredibly kind, generous and easy to talk to. I remember when I received my order in the post I was flushed with such excitement it made up week! The print was more than I could ever imagine and also included extra treats! I framed it straight away, hung it on my wall and it looks so cute!

Everything in her store is a pleasure to look at, and it doesn't hurt if you're also obsessed with cupcakes and tea like I am.

Check it out now! and also have a peek at her fantastic blog!
