June 2015

You can buy my postcards and greeting cards at Maison Saints & Bullies in Oostende. But for those of you who don’t want to go all the way to Oostende, I have found a way to sell my cards online.

Through a friend of mine I came across Esell.io, a software that allows small business owners to sell their products directly on social media or through their website. I thought it was perfect for my needs at this moment.

This is my store https://on-a-whimsical-adventure.esell.io/

For now you can only use Paypal to make your payment, but they are working on making payments by credit card possible.

As soon as you have made your order, I will receive a notification by e-mail and I can send your cards!

I’ve been working on 2 new sets of postcards today! One set was made with my Alice In Wonderland papers, the other set was made with my Vintage Tropical Papers and Vintage Tropical Transfers & Brushes. I will have them printed soon, but in the mean time, here’s a sneak peek!

The ‘Alice In Wonderland’ postcards:

The ‘Vintage Tropical’ postcards (I have to admit that these are my absolute favourites at the moment, I’m in love with the colours, they remind me somewhat of the fifties, although that was not my intention):

Have a wonderful weekend!

If you want to see what’s coming to my Etsy store, I have made a Pinterest board with all the sneak peeks! My Etsy store will open around July, I’ll keep you posted! If you would like to follow the board, here’s the link.

And I finished the pack of transfers and brushes that I was working on (coordinating with the vintage tropical papers). It’s a set of 5 transfers and 5 brushes. Transfers and brushes are available in PNG format and the brushes are also available as an ABR file.

I’m making some transfers/overlays that coordinate with my Vintage Tropical Paperpack (sorry, cannot help making things with that theme)! This is the first one (I intend to make 5 different designs)! They will come in a pack with brushes (ABR and PNG files) in my Etsy store.

Have a wonderful day!

A sneak peek of something I made this afternoon: straw flags, with the patterns of the Vintage Tropical Papers I made last week. You can stick them to a plastic straw, but I used small wooden sticks. Use double sided tape to attach. A fun idea for your summer parties! Guests can write their names on the blank label on the front (I used some dummy names here, the label is blank). Coming soon to my Etsy store as a printable PDF!

Check this out! The banner I designed for this year’s Zapparade, and an older design that I made two years ago (the banner with the girl and the violin). Always exciting to see it printed!

I remember when I made the girl with the violin banner… I was asked to design a banner that would represent the ‘spirit’ of Zapparade… Not an easy thing to do. Although I very well knew what Zapparade felt like to me, it was really hard to put an image on it. I remember multiple sleepless nights as the deadline came nearer. Then, one Friday night, I got up at 1 o’clock in the morning (I couldn’t sleep anyway), because I had a head full of ideas for that banner. And yes, that night, the design for the ‘Spirit of Zapparade’ was born LOL. That night I went back to bed at around 5 in the morning, tired, but very happy. I finished the banner the next day 🙂

I’m working on the Zapparade program today! It’s a 20 pages A5 booklet that will guide you through the afternoon and evening. And this is the last of the artwork for this year’s Zapparade event. I’m always happy when everything comes together.

A little sneak peek!

Have a nice day!

I’m feeling very inspired lately 🙂 and that has resulted in more things for my future Etsy store. Are you ready for some sneak peeks?? I’m ESPECIALLY happy with how the Vintage Tropical Papers turned out! Usually I’m not a big fan of hot temperatures (and it’s really hot in Belgium today). But today, the weather ànd some good music inspired me to make a tropical themed paperpack. I’m thinking of making some coordinating things. What do you think?

Enjoy your evening!
