DREAMING IN PAPER
Wednesday, December 29th, 2010Ever since I was a little girl, I’ve wanted to start my own greeting card and stationary line. I think my first art inspirations actually came from stationary lines like Suzy’s Zoo & Precious Moments. So cute, right!? I wanted to do what they did, and it’s a dream I still hold today. I remember growing up, I would never allow myself to buy a card for someone…I had it make it! With every card, I “trademarked” the back as Kelli’s Kards. Yes, Kards with a K. I thought I was clever. Well, here I am today taking my first baby step in the card business. I picked out a few of my favorite illustrations that I thought would lend themselves nicely to a greeting card and just went for it. I unveiled the new card designs at my art opening a few weeks ago (pictures still coming soon) and was pleasantly surprised at the reaction…and sales! Now I just want to keep making more! But for now, I still have stock of these designs and they are now available on my ETSY store for purchase.
All the cards are printed on acid free archival paper and come with a contrasting paper bag envelope.

This is my first ever assorted “BOX SET”. I created these with a winter theme in mind and sold them before Christmas at my solo show “Dreamer” (they make for a good christmas card). However, in designing them, I wanted to make sure that these cards could be used any time, (not just at christmas), so there is no “ho ho ho” or “happy holidays” to be found. Only a sweet illustration and a blank white inside to say what you wish. These too are available on my ETSY. Included are 8 assorted cards and 8 contrasting paper bag envelopes. Sealed in a box and wrapped with baker’s twine.

In the spirit of all things paper, I decided to also try out some simple paper prints of a few of my designs as well. I realize that the higher quality canvas prints that I currently sell on my store are a bit expensive for some of my customers who are interested in buying something (but just can’t swing $65). SOOO…I thought i’d try out some smaller price point prints for you! I am offering 3 designs in 8″ X 10″ and 3 designs in 11″ X 14″. And lastly….I have a couple magnet sets for sale. I thought these would be just a fun little addition to the shop. I was happy when I tested out my first magnet yesterday on my fridge and it had “super strength” (none of that weak, barely holds a piece of paper stuff!). I hope you like it!
