big Al & little Al

With Father's Day around the corner, I wanted to create a masculine card.

Here's what I came up with using justjohanna stamps.

daisy d's Wonder Years

I used daisy d's Wonder Years sticker collection with justjohanna's stamps.

The stickers were funky, whimsy and fun!

The Wonder Years collection is designed by Stephanie.

Take a look at Stephanie's blog.

I loved the colors and patterns of her designs!

My Etsy Store

I opened my Etsy store at the beginning of this year, 2inspire designs. Since then, my work has been featured on blogs and The Storque, a series of articles featuring Etsy sellers and events.

Rebecca, with MoonTree Press, wrote a Storque article, as part of Etsy's Handmade Wedding Series, in which she featured my handwriting services. MoonTree Press is a letterpress store offering one of a kind, limited edition designs. Check out Rebecca's blog, Etsy Handmade Wedding, where she also featured my work.

Jenny, This Humble Abode, featured my cards on her blog. Thank you, Jenny!

It was great working with Tara! She featured my work a couple of times on her blog, In This Instance. I provide free samples of my handwriting to customers considering my services. This way, the bride-to-be can see exactly what her guests will see when they receive their invitations in the mail. Here's Tara post featuring my samples on her blog. If you're a bride-to-be, check out Tara's blog. Her blog has tons of inspiration and ideas for planning your wedding.

Recently, I had the opportunity to meet with other San Francisco Etsy sellers and Beth, who works at Etsy. To read Beth's Storque article about her visit to San Francisco, click here.

background stamps

I remember the first time I was introduced to VersaMark. It was at my very first stamp party I attended years ago. I was so amazed with how VersaMark transformed plain cardstock. It's so basic but a technique I still use today. I used VersaMark on this card with justjohanna's circle dot background.
