Mini Kraft Cards - Open When

These are mini envelopes with blank folding card inserts. You can write a special note to someone, give it to them and let them open and read it at the specified time. It's really cute and unique.

I made these using kraft paper, WRMK envelope punch and alphabet rubber stamps.

Handmade placecards using deckled paper

Here's something I want to see in weddings: placecards on deckled paper. Deckled paper is a rare find in local Dgte weddings. If you're anyone who loves these kinds of detail, this is for you! Handmade is the way to go because there's little chance you can mass produce anything like this with a machine.

Perfect project to apply calligraphy! For these samples, I'm doing earth colors with gold accent and the ever lovely pastels.

Dumaguete Souvenirs - Mini Notebooks

My recent creations are these mini journals or notebooks. These are staple-bound and have blank white inner pages. The size is about a quarter or a letter-sized paper. This is the first batch of designs and I hope to be able to produce more and better designs in the future.

I am also thinking of doing other items that I can make by hand. But I would like them to be more of the useful stuff. If you have any in mind, suggestions are welcome!

I am just really disappointed that I cannot find any print shop in town that can do more flexible types of printing like with metallic ink or white ink on speckled cardboard.

I am a bit excited that these will now be officially sold locally at the beautiful shop of Rianna's, located at Cervantes St. in Dumaguete.

By the way, I have also added a few more items to my little online shop in Etsy. What I sell here are mostly handmade gift tags, journals and digital patterns for digital scrap-booking.

First sale on Etsy

Yay! My first sale on Etsy! It may not be such a big deal to most but to me this is something. Now i'm inspired to make more handmade stuff.

I promised myself I would make extra effort on wrapping any purchased items on Etsy, so here's my first one. It's just plain brown pattern paper tied with black rope twine, with a thank you note handwritten by me. This one will be shipped to UK. Right now, my concern is shipping, so i wish it arrives in one piece, undamaged.
