How We Ship Plastic Free 🌎🌱

It's been awhile since my 2019 post about eco-friendly packaging and shipping materials, and a lot has changed since then, so I thought I'd add an update about how we're currently shipping our online orders without any plastic! As a small business, it's really important for us to do our part to reduce our footprint. Little bits of plastic can really add up! It's a process finding the right suppliers and supplies, but it's a rewarding and important one. First, we replaced the plastic sleeve for our greeting cards with glassine bags. Glassine paper looks a bit like wax paper except it's fully...

How we make our stickers✨

Stickers are fun, affordable little pieces of artwork! We love making them and if you're an artist or designer you might be thinking about creating them too.  Here's how we do it!  I start in the Procreate app on my iPad and make some sketches. First I loosely sketch out my idea.  After that, I export that sketch and then import it into Illustrator on my iPad to create the design in vector on a new layer. I usually afterwards open the file on my computer to finalize the colors, adjust some of the lines, and add some textures if I'm using any. ...

How we make our catalogs 📚

It's time for us to start updating our catalog for the new year, so I wanted to write a little bit about how I do that!  I work in InDesign for my catalogs, which makes it easy to visualize how the layout will be and to set certain styles across all the pages (like page numbers, etc.) I start with my previous catalog, which I had previously set up with meticulous grids, guides and style guides. So even though the first catalog took longer to set up, the good news is it gets faster from there! Although last year I decided to move to...
