DIY Product Packaging & Branding

Faye — Tue, 19 Apr 2011 14:50:34 +0000

The Cotton District Arts Festival is only 4 days away! I have been quite busy trying to finish up my notebooks, my display and my packaging. I recently ordered new rubber stamps with my brand name and Etsy address on them for my packaging and to stamp inside my notebooks.

This is the front of my merchandise bags.

My Etsy address is stamped on the back of my merchandise bags.

I also stamped my Etsy address on the back of my stationery.

These little tags are for my stationery sets.

I love how cute my notebooks look with my Etsy address stamped on them.

So let me know what you think. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

DIY Stationary

This past Christmas, I made stationary sets for some of my friends and family. I hand stamped notecards then added pretty vintage postage stamps, upcycled floppy disc labels, thrifted vintage greeting cards and lots of random stickers.

I put their stationary in hand painted boxes which the exception of my friends Dawn and Nikki. I put Nikki’s stationary in a cigar box and I put Dawn’s stationary in a vintage animal cracker tin.

Oh and I made these little stars from oven bake clay.

I had so much fun making these stationary sets and I have already received a pretty card in the mail from one of my dear friends.

I love these rubber stamps from Yellow Owl Workshop and I want to purchase so many. They are all so cute. It is hard to decide which ones I want.

Oh okay maybe this set is my favorite.

Oh I want this…

I need to add this Japanese Doily Pattern stamp to my stamp collection. Geninne from Geninne’s Art Blog carved her doily stamp herself. She is so crafty, check out her blog.

DIY Wedding Mixed CD Favors

Faye — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 06:19:20 +0000

My husband and I were recently married (9.26.09) and my favorite wedding craft we made were our wedding CDs. About a month into our relationship, Ben gave me a mixed cd of songs he thought I would like from bands that he loved. It was his cute way of letting me into his world, one song at a time. Ben still gives me mixed CDs for random occasions and I love everyone of them. Because of these CDs I now listen to way better bands.

I thought it would be perfect to make a mixed CD to give out as favors for our guests. Our friend and graphic designer Kirby Doss, designed a rubber stamp and we had it made by the Etsy store Terbear.

Next I ordered recycled CD sleeves from ReBinder. Then we had fun stamping each one. The final step was to have the inserts printed with the song titles on them. This was completed by my Maid of Honor, Nikki, the day before our wedding.
