Two new Treasuries!

Thank you ForrestConcepts and mirthmarket for featuring my work in their Etsy Treasuries this week. I love that I've managed to sneak into two completely different types of collection. Thank you it's really appreciated!

Writer's Block

I've been toying with using one of the many website building sites to create a Dig The Earth website…nothing too fancy, something clean with big images!

I've created a few pages in Wix (using one of their templates) which so far has been very easy to use. I can picture how I want the pages to look, I'm just really struggling trying to get my head into 'copy mode'. What on earth do you write about yourself? Really not as easy as it sounds. Gah!

I know that my copy has to fully describe my business to any potential customer, but I'm laughing at how horrendously twee my writing is! I'm really trying to avoid the obvious 'this is me' approach, but failing miserably!

I've posted one of the pages above, it's just waiting for some creative blurb adding!

Another Etsy!

A big thank you to The Merry Crown Society (what a great name!) for featuring my Carousel card in their Etsy Treasury yesterday – a very bright and colourful 'Springtime Happiness' collection!

Emmamaha does it again!

Emmamaha has done it again for me this week and featured me in another of her lovely Etsy Treasuries :) I'm not sure what I've done to deserve it – but THANK YOU! This one is called Romancing the Stone and features my 'I Need To Say…' card, which you can see here.

Etsy Treasury!

A huge thank you to Emmamaha for featuring me in an Etsy Treasury this week, 'A Golden Daze'. Lovely selection, thank you!

Drip, Drip, Drop, Little April Shower

The Folksy front page has been everything April Showers this week, rain clouds, rainbows and umbrellas. I'm very grateful that my 'Every Cloud…' print has made it into the Featured Items list, which has meant heavy rotation on the Folksy frontpage :) Thanks Folksy!!!

MOO Cards

My free MOO business cards arrived a couple of days ago…I had doubts about getting them printed when I could make my own, but everyone always raves about the quality, so I thought why not give it a go.

Fifty cards for just £3 postage! Bargain. The print quality is fantastic, each card has it's own image (if you have a spare hour to go through the simple upload process, I would recommend it, it's really easy to do) and they are printed on MOO Green – 100% recycled board – without the added chemicals involved with getting them matte laminated. :)

I've had these made, so that I can slip one in with each of my orders. If you're looking for cheap cards at way better quality than Vistaprint, look no further!

Carousel prints now available!

Carousel No.1 (full image and close up)

I've added two new Carousel prints to my special offer shop this weekend. I've had quite a few people asking whether my Carousel cards were ever going to make it as giclée prints – so, here you go! – I've changed the illustrations, so they're a little different from the greetings cards, but just as vibrant!

Two A4 prints are now available here (at a special reduced price throughout April).

If you'd like a different size creating (these look great large!) just email me!

Carousel No.2 (full image and close up)

Close but no cigar!

Makers Online recently ran a best product photograph competition on their website. Unfortunately, there was no £200 top prize coming my way, but photos for both myself and Mrs. Kev were shortlisted and made the final 27! The competition closed with 136 entries, so I'm really pleased with that!

The winner was Chloe Livingstone, with her lovely suede necklace shot. Well done Chloe, a well deserved prize!

You can see all the shortlisted entries >>here<<. We were all asked to submit a short paragraph about how each photograph was taken, so there are plenty of photo tips to pick up. There's also a very handy product photo guide, which is well worth a read if you need some extra photo advice.
