Persian New Year...

Hey Folks,
Just a reminder that Spring is almost upon us. That means Persian New Year, a.k.a. Norooz! I will be posting some Norooz-related goodies soon. I will also have some great cards and gifting items available in my Etsy Shop. Stay tuned! In the meantime, check out my post from last year here! Enjoy!

Just a little note...

Happy Valentine's Day!

Whether you're single, in a relationship, or "it's complicated"...this day is set aside to remind us how much love, affection and friendship is important. It is a holiday to celebrate a very important emotion.

Share this day with someone special to you. It doesn't have to only be about a significant-other (contrary to how this holiday is marketed). It could be a day to share your child, a best friend or even a relative. Just being together is a valuable gift, more than what you can buy.

Love has many facets, and today is the day to enjoy its splendor!

Free Printable - Valentine's Tags...

In the spirit of Valentine's Day, which is tomorrow, I decided to create and share with you a free printable: Valentine Labels or Gift Tags! There are 18 on a sheet with 6 coordinating designs. You may choose to use one or all. If you need a lot, for a class, you can print multiple sheets. Perfect for those "Last Minute" gifts and treats like individual cupcakes! They can be used as hanging labels or stickers. For the sticker option, you should use "full-sheet" labels and then cut them out. Many colors of paper and labels work. Kraft paper will give it a casual look, where pearlescent card-stock or linen-textured card-stock would give it a slightly more formal look. The possibilities are endless. I would love to see pictures of how you decided to use them.

Here is the PDF for the Free Labels/Tags...

Valentine's Countdown...

The Valentine's Day countdown has officially begun. Don't be left empty-handed this year. I've added some new card designs to my Etsy shop. They are colorful yet simple, with understated motifs that will not compete with your heartfelt message. Check back often as more goodies will be added.

Valentine's Day Cards...

Here are some Valentine's Day cards that are available in my etsy shop! I decided to keep the design simple with a patterned heart. What do you think?

All cards are 3 3/4"w x 5 1/2"h. Each card is constructed using archival quality papers and card-stocks to ensure they last for years to come. They are left blank inside for that special love note you want to share with your Valentine. They are in-stock and ready to ship. Don't be left empty-handed this Valentine's day. Order yours today! You can visit the shop by clicking the link on the upper right corner of this page.

Birthday cards for my sibling cousins...

Last November I send out these cards to my 2 cousins on the East Coast for their birthdays. They are brother and sister and are a week apart in dates(not the same year of course, lol) so I decided to make both of their cards at the same time and send them out at the same time as well. I hope they enjoyed it as much as I enjoyed creating it for them!

Happy New Year! Welcome 2013...

Hi everyone! I know it's 18 days in and it has been a few weeks since my last post. I've been doing the family and friends thing. You know how the holidays go! I was also in the process of re-organzing my studio space. Anyhow, I've been working on some stuff for Valentine's day. Pictures to come soon. I will also share some birthday cards I created recently for a few friends. Stay tuned... :)
