#36 Coral and chocolate sampler pack

This fun pack features two solids and four patterns, with six of each paper. They're bright and cheery, and well coordinated.

#35 Aqua and chocolate teeny tiny envelopes

I thought these papers were especially well coordinated and decided to make a set of them. I'm only 65 sets away from my goal of having 100 sets of these in my Etsy shop.

#34 Polka dots, stripes and flowers

I have one more post for tonight -- one more set of teeny tinies to share with you. These are in coordinated papers of aqua and chocolate. Enjoy!

#33 Beautiful teal teeny tiny envelopes

These teeny tinies are made out of scrapbook paper that I bought at a giant Michael's sale. Like all of my teeny tinies, they come with a note tucked inside where you can write any message that comes to mind.

#32 Red White and Blue Teeny Tiny Envelopes

With the Fourth of July just around the corner, I thought I'd make these just for the occasion.

#31 French-inspired, redux, with green

As you might be able to tell if you compare yesterday's post to today's, I think this paper makes up into very pretty envelopes. Today I'm featuring the 1.25x1.25 inch style, which has been a big seller in my store.

#30 French inspiration

I am at #30 in my 100 teeny tiny envelope set challenge. These teeny tiny miniature square envelopes are green with red and white accents. Very sophisticated, and quite lovely.

100 sets of teeny tiny envelopes

What can I say? I enjoy making them! My new goal is to have 100 sets of different teeny tiny envelopes in my shop, one set per day. Here's what I made today. I currently have 27 sets, that means I've got 73 to go. And that means I'll have attained my goal just days before my wedding.


And I re-shot these on a black background. I think they show up better than on a white one.

Teeny tiny square bridal envelopes

Today I made up these charming little bridal envelopes. I guess I've just got weddings on mind these days, but it seemed like these would be perfect for enclosing with a wedding attendant gift. I also made up some butterflies to go with them. Enjoy!

Relisting madness

Well, I had great intentions, but nature had other ideas. Today was a take-care-of-yourself kind of day. So was yesterday. So I settled for relisting some items that I've already made. Thought I'd share them with you. My all time favorite jewel tone teeny tiny envelopes.

Oh, and by the way, Etsy is five years old. Lots of changes over time. And I heard that the marvelous Loosewire of Loosewire Studios has become an Etsy admin.

Glimmery, shimmery, opalescent

In a burst of enthusiasm, I am trying to make something new every day. Today I made these teeny tiny envelopes out of the most beautiful cardstock -- they come in three colors: green, silver and ivory. I'm very pleased with how they turned out. And I'm in the frame of mind to think of things in terms of weddings -- these would be great little tags to use to with wedding favors. Click on the photo to see the listing on Etsy.

Miniature envelopes and butterflies

My Etsy and 1000market shops have been mostly dormant for nearly a year -- since I met my fiance. Our wedding is mostly planned and I'm hoping to be an active seller once again. I've started with some new teeny tiny envelopes and with some new butterfly diecuts.

Bravo! Front page for a little while

This card made it to Etsy's front page a few weeks ago, thanks to curator luchi. Here's a link to her treasury.

Wall of Hope

I read about a greeting card project on a blog post by one of my Etsy Greetings team mates, wimzieprints. Thought I'd share it with you. Just click here.

Etsy Twitter Shop of the Week - L'elephant Rose

Sherisa Vassel, of L'élephantRose.etsy.com creates jewelry and hair accessories for women to feel gorgeous in. Filled with a rich palette of color, her shop has many unique items. Her earring designs bring out the curves of a woman’s face and cheekbones.

Sherisa herself is a rich palette of interests and histories: Temple University alumna; lover of color, music, laughter, nature, warmth, her man; writer; jewelry and accessories designer; mother of a duckling; and daydreamer extraordinaire.

“Major life influences: stories from my childhood, French, my wild imagination. I'm heavily influenced by the past. And very intrigued by what lays ahead in the future. I try to find a point to balance in between it all.

One thing I think is paramount is that I take great care in attention to detail when making anything. It is a blessing to be able to follow a dream through and I attempt to pass that blessing on through my work. I care deeply about what I make.

L'élephant Rose is for the bold woman. Those not afraid to exude confidence. The woman who understands that they define their sensuality. We are effortlessly cool. Dare to be bold! Adorn yourself accordingly.”
I encourage you to accept her challenge to see yourself as bold, confident, and sensual. Maybe some new jewelry would help! I know this cute little shop that’s just the place.

I had some time to make cards last night. Here is my favorite. It's handstamped with two different stamps. I'll post the others later.

Selling onlilne

I've added a third shop over on ArtFire and am slowly populatiing it. Three shops is a lot to handle since every venue has a different social and graphical structure. I am so spoiled by being a part of both the CCCOE and EtsyIrish forum threads where we know each other well. There's nothing comparably active that I've found on either ArtFire or 1000Markets, although ArtFire's chat function might be more dynamic...

On another note, I was looking through the hearts on my Etsy shop tonight and discovered a new seller. One of the things I like about selling online is that you've got all sorts of regional marketplaces all subsumed in this international venue. The midwestern crafter in the U.S. side by side with someone in Thailand or Sinagpore. New York and Minnesota, California and Tennessee, Louisiana and Ohio. Different crafts, different trends, different histories, different stories. All ages, men and women, children, collectors, crafters, craftspeople and artists, pragmatic and profane.
