February Project of the Month – A New Etsy Shop!

Posted by bydeezyne

This month I’m excited to share the opening of my new Etsy shop with my Handmade Greeting Cards: CardzByDeeZyne.etsy.com CardsByDeeZyne

I already have an Etsy shop for my Handmade Sea Glass Jewelry: ByDeeZyne.etsy.com ByDeeZyne and I still get a kick out of getting orders from all over the country and the world but I have become obsessed with card making of late and thought I would open a second Etsy shop with my cards.

I am just starting out and even though I’ve been involved with Etsy for some time now, I am finding there are still some challenges with starting a new shop. It will take some time to get it off the ground and perfect my “product” and find my niche. I just hope that people are still sending snail mail. I send out cards to friends and family all the time and I know I love receiving mail myself but I today it is all about email and social media. I love tech but it isn’t the same as a had written note or letter.

I hope you will visit both my shops. I welcome custom orders and would be happy to work with you to design cards or jewelry just for you.

I’m adding more cards all the time:

November Project of the Month – Thank you cards for my Etsy store

Posted by bydeezyne

This month I decided to change up the thank you notes that I send out with my Etsy orders (bydeezyne.etsy.com). I love making hand made cards and always send a thank you note but usually they are computer generated. This month I decided to make them with my stamp sets to satisfy my card making obsession.

Much more fun! The cards below are a new set from Avery Elle called Berry Good. I stamped the first card with black ink but then decided to emboss the rest with black embossing powder. I colored the peaches with Stampin’ Up colored pencils and their watercolor blender. I added some rhinestones just because.

Here are some more 3 x 3 thank you notes. These were quick and easy. I put strips of washi tape on card stock and die cut the stars. I embossed and scored the card base and added the sunshine washi tape and attached the stars with dimensionals. Love the results!

Cards Added To Etsy Site

I decided to add greeting cards to my Etsy Jewelry site (ByDeeZyne.etsy.com) after a customer asked me to include one in a gift she was sending to a friend. These are just an add-on to the seaglass jewelry purchases and not for sale alone. I would love to sell just the cards but there doesn’t seem to be much of a market for them on Etsy. I love making them with both my Stampin’ Up supplies and my Silhouette Cameo. Here are a few samples:
