It's A Wrap

Here is the festive tape measure cozy that I made as my contribution to the Etsyfriends Stocking Stuffer Challenge prize package.

And here she is all *done up*...nestled on pink shred in a flowery cello bag with one of my brand new GORGEOUS hang tags made by the best card and tag maker on etsy: Jessi of jessijewels!

I've also managed to wrap up 10 sets of Rosey Goes Retro ornaments... they are on their way to The Muse, and should hit the shelves there next week!

Now that these goodies are completed, I'm looking forward to adding lots of new items to both shops in the coming days. Hope you have some fun plans for the weekend!

Totally Terrific Tags

I've never been one of those matchy matchy people in my everyday attire. You know the ones whose hairbow matches their socks? And shirt and pants and purse and belt and shoelaces and, presumably, panties? Arguably, though, denim matches everything, and if so, I always match. But I digress.

There is something to be said for being completely coordinated in your packaging, and thanks to Jessi at jessijewels.etsy.com, I have finally reached that pinnacle. These are my gorgeous new product tags, and I can't tell you how pleased I am with the way they turned out. Not only do they match my stickers, return addy labels, and thank you notes, but they will save me scads of time and make my packages look the best they have ever looked!

If your packaging and/or branding needs an overhaul, run, don't walk, to this shop right here, right now! You will be SO glad you did.

Super Stickers

I am so excited about my new shop stickers, I just have to share! Jessi at jessijewels.etsy.com is the BEST. She listened carefully to what I wanted, gave me 3 beautiful choices in a super timely manner, and made these gorgeous stickers just for me. If you are in the market for something to make your packaging stand out, look no further than this "jewel" of a shop!

My New Goodies!

Prettifying my packages is important to me, as is incorporating my *brand* at every opportunity. While I enjoy putting my own creative touch on my wrapping, I also recognize when someone else can do something better than I can! Many of my item tags and stickers have been happily purchased from other Etsy sellers; I highly recommend promosinasnap, kjpatino, tudorhouse, and wildmagic for their excellent work, communication and customer service.

I am just jumping up and down with excitement about my latest purchase for my shop, though! These appreciation cards were designed and made just for me by Jessi at jessijewels.etsy.com. Every single thing about this transaction was pleasurable. Jessi kept me in the loop with what she was working on and happily made changes as we tweaked the details together. The end result is beautiful, and the attention to detail and professionalism displayed by this shopowner is superb. I enjoy just looking at these in my craft room, and writing a thank you message on them when I send out a package is pure heaven. I LOVE my cards and I LOVE jessijewels!
