Hi Friends!
Yikes, it’s been a whole month.
It’s been a busy whole month over here at the Beach house.
Summer is in full swing. Hot. Sweaty. Rainy. Kansas City is like a steam room these days. I love it. I also don’t have to work outside or even go outside unless I choose.
Since we last talked, I decided to open my Etsy store, Strawberry Squirl, back up and sell greeting cards! (see sidebar to start shopping!)
I am also going to sell stickers of the same designs and eventually move into anything else I can find to print on!
About a year ago, in place of crocheting, I started coloring with sharpies when I got bored and eventually had a whole pile of these little colorful pictures.
I love them so I thought about framing them to put in the house some where and then I thought what a pretty card they would make.
I would love to receive a colorful, happy card!
So, I bought some cardstock and started printing!
They are bright and cheerful.
And each one has a little positive message.
I am going back and forth between printing on glossy card stock or matte cardstock.
I did both and really like both. So that doesn’t help.
Here are some of the stickers.
I bought colorful envelopes and clear cello bags for packaging. I felt very legit and professional when those came in!
I also don’t know what to call them. Illustrations? Drawings? Pictures?
Whatever you call them, I am adding new ones each month to my Etsy shop, so if you don’t see something you like, keep checking back!
