Rachael's Handmade Designs

Happy Monday everyone! I hope your weekend was nice and relaxing. New in my shop today is a sweet little winter-themed card that was posted Saturday. I decided not to go with a sentiment for this card. I think having a sentiment on cards has a tendency to classify cards too much. At any rate, this card is clean and simple. I used a sheet of acetate to give it a cool glossy effect. This is my first time using acetate on a card that is not a shaker card. The image is a digital stamp from Anita Be Stampin. By chance, I can't seem to find Anita Be Stampin on facebook, does anybody have their link? Whenever I click the F on their website it just takes me to my own fb site. Weird. I'm going to be going into detail about how I made this card later in the week. Be sure to check back about that! Don't forget, I'm having a fall sale in the shop right now! Use coupon code "Fallsale2011" to save some money and get cute greetings. :) Cheers, Xo, Rachael

Hi All and Good Morning! Last night I was fortunate enough to get home and shoot a few photographs of my products for my Etsy store  before the sun went down. I am quite happy with how the pictures have turned out and I feel happy that my store is begining to show progress after the slow summer sales. Chec out my flickr to the right to peak at those images. I also have big news! In addition to hosting a booth once a month at Cocoa & Cream in Magnolia, Washington, I will be hosting second booth across the street at Vixen Day Spa and Boutique as well! The main focus here will be a better fit, I feel. More focus on the cards. Also, I applied to Etsy's Pre-Holiday Winter Show listed for October! I will find out in September if I made the cut or not. Please keep your fingers and toes crossed for me! :) Talk to you soon!
