I'm so excited to announce that my new materials came early, don't you just love when things come early?  Prepare to be overwhelmed with stamps and lovely design based origami boxes.  Also new paper from Korea and new tag designs should be in by the end of the week so check back then for new listings.

New box design!

New box design, love it!  Working on many more!

The only downside of online ordering

I love online ordering, as you can tell by my shop.  It's convenient, easy, and provides you with countless options without the mileage.  The only thing I don't like about it is the wait.  Isn't it funny how we all like instant gratification?  If there was a way to pull items off the screen once you order them it would make online shopping perfect.  However, since we are not quite there yet, I try to ship my items out the next business day after receiving an order.  I also make sure to add tracking to all my US orders (I would do this for you international folks if it didn't cost a small fortune to do so, blame the mail system for that one) because I know that I love to track my orders as they come to me.  My policy is to treat my customers the way I like to be treated as a customer!  The usual wait time for postal mail here in the US seems to be 3-5 business days depending on where you are located.

For those of you who simply cannot wait, I can do express shipment.  Just convo me for a price quote before ordering an item.

Stamps!

I got a little too shopping happy during a sale and ended up purchasing a ridiculous amount of stamps.  They should all be arriving by the end of the week, so expect to see plenty of cute stamped tags and boxes in my store in the next few weeks!

New listings

I have finally put up some of my new creations.  I am venturing into tags for wedding favors.  I think these tags would look wonderful with my cranes and it gives me an opportunity to expand my horizon.  I absolutely adore the cardstock paper I got for these tags and boxes.  Each of my cardstock boxes are hand scored before folding so that the lines and edges are clean and crisp!  It takes a while longer but I think the quality is worth the work.  Check out my new listings in the link below.

Going a little origami box crazy

Absolutely adore these miniature boxes that filled my night last night.  The bottoms are made from 100% cotton in a thicker weight for sturdiness.  The tops are made from decorative origami paper.  Featured in the photo are just a few of the boxes that I created.

Once I actually get motivated to photograph all the items o have made and waiting to be posted these little boxes will be up in my store.  They are perfect for little gift boxes or favor boxes for parties!

Origami boxes

I'm so excited about this new creation of mine!  I have created a box!  I absolutely love that I went through over three different types of boxes before I was pleased by one.  I have ordered card stock paper to make these little gift boxes so you should be seeing them in my store within a few weeks!  :)
