NEW LINE: classy dude cards


Well, after a good healthy response to some of my dude cards, I have decided to make more, and put them in the etsy shop. Here is your sneak peek at the cards. They are made with Amy Butler designer paper and embellished with brads and ribbon for fun accents. Each card reads 'dude' on the front. What a statement.


What would you use a dude card for, you ask. To congratulate someone (awesome, dude!), to apologize (dude, I am so sorry), to say hi (duuude!), to send best wishes (I hope you feel better soon, dude!), and much more.

When would YOU use a dude card? I can't wait to hear.



special sale is still happening...

thanks for the shout-out!

So one of the neatest people that I have met through Etsy and blogging is Wendi Winn - who also happened to win the last card giveaway in September... well, she sent me a thank you card using the cards that she won, that I made. That was a first for me. No one has ever sent me one of my own cards! So I decided to make a special card just for her. One I knew she'd love. A 'dude' card. And then you know what?! She gave me a huge shout-out on her blog, because she's just that cool. Go pop on over and check it out, and soak in the rest of her blog - she's lovely and hilarious. Go see her here.

I will be putting 'dude' card sets up in the Etsy shop in the next few days.

soon

I am finishing up an order for Summer and some new cards for Etsy - so please stay tuned. It's just been one of those days, but the past couple of days...

Stay tuned, sweet friends.

sharing

Happy Weekend, Friends -

I hope everyone is having a lovely and fun weekend - we have. Things have been busy here at lemon drop, so I've been staying out of trouble by keeping busy on orders. I thought I would share a little of what I have been up to...

I am in a Halloween Card Swap on Swap-Bot, so I had to make 3 Halloween cards to send out to three different people (one card each). Only 2 pictures turned out, and they kind of didn't really turn out that well (this is where you get to use your imagination - it's good for you). I chose to take the pictures in some bad lighting and now can't retake them since they are all packaged up and ready to be sent (along with the cutest Halloween gift tags I made to accompany them), but you get the idea. I love my new Halloween stamps from Peachy Cheap!! Great purchase!



Also, I am doing some trade with a great shop on etsy called Realisation Creations down in Australia and I made her some mini envelopes and flat cards with rounded edges... aren't they so cute?! I love that they are small and fun, and I made the envelopes all by myself. Well, I took apart an old envelope, traced it on heavy paper and now use it as a stencil. There, there's my secret!!


Oh, and while I was taking pictures of my mini-envelopes and flat cards, my kiddo Taylor was getting jealous, so I told him to do his best smile, and this is what I got... He's so silly, and such a ham.


Also, don't forget about the SPECIAL SALE that we're having for our blog readers all October long!! Feel free to pass the word around on the sale, post it to your blogs, tell random strangers, shout it from the rooftops, whatever you'd like. Details are here.

Dominique's Cards

I finished up Dominique's card order yesterday and am getting ready to package it up and mail it out today - but wanted to share some pictures of the cards first. Dominique requested 3 birthday cards, 3 thank you cards and 12 Christmas cards. I did 5 different designs for the Christmas cards - fun, fun! I ordered the stamps from my new favorite place, Peachy Cheap. Love it!

Enjoy your cards, Dom, and THANK YOU!

happy


These Lucky Girl Penny Ponytail Holders in my etsy shop are really making me happy. I love how they look together, and I love all the patterns on the fabric. How cute are they?! The answer is: so very cute, Shauna, so very cute.

That is all.

Don't forget about the SALE going on now!!
