Mother's Day Cards

March 06, 2013 • Heidi Shenk • "cards" • "etsy shop" • "mothers day"

I've been working hard in the studio the past few days and have already cranked out my new Mother's Day cards. I know I'm about 2 months early here, but I like to be prepared! I have a lot on my plate these days (more on that eventually!) and wanted to be ready for the upcoming holiday. Here's a look at the collection-- you can click through the photos to see the cards in the shop.

I'm really happy with how my new designs turned out. Some are spinoffs of other designs and some are new concepts and ideas.

Are you already planning ahead of time for Mother's Day, or am I the only crazy one?

Shop Update

February 26, 2013 • Heidi Shenk • "cards" • "etsy shop"

It's been a while since I've shared some of my new cards with you all. I have a lot of new designs that have made their way into the shop and I wanted to share some of them with you as I often do. My recent design projects have been focused on upcoming spring holidays-- Saint Patrick's Day and Easter.

I also finally added the much awaited butthead card that I wrote about a while back.

And after missing some cute butts, I decided to whip up this anniversary version.

Don't worry, I know you all missed my cute butt just as much as I did.

Ok. That was awkward. I know. But also funny.

Either way, I'm super glad to be back to designing and adding new items to the shop. It's been a lot of fun! I have a few more Saint Patrick's Day and Easter cards here in my shop if you'd like to check out the rest, and don't forget about the taco card! (You know you all love that one the most!)

What have you been up to lately in your shop-- if you have one, that is?

2013 Valentine's Day Line

January 03, 2013 • Heidi Shenk • "etsy shop" • "Valentine's day"

You may have seen my five million tweets or Instagram pictures about this, but I guess I'm totally going official with it now on the blog. The 2013 Valentine's Day card line is complete! Last year, this card propelled my shop to new levels that I had not expected, so I really wanted to be prepared for Valentine's Day this year. I spent so much time working on these cards and the hard work has paid off! I am so excited to share nine new designs for the upcoming holiday-- some sweet, some funny, and maybe one raunchy. ;) Here's a look at the final line.

I hope you enjoy the new line of cards as much as I do! And of course all of my other Valentine's Day designs are still available in the shop!

Now that you've seen the full 2013 line, which is your favorite?

Overwhelmed

November 28, 2012 • Heidi Shenk • "etsy shop"

I am overwhelmed.

That, my dear friends, is four greeting cards, two note card sets, one set of Christmas cards, five sets of stationery, and one big custom order. And I made them all in one night. Wait, you mean I'm also a teacher? Whoops. Forgot about that for a second. And by forgot, I just thought you really meant that I was superwoman.

I have to say that while this can be extremely overwhelming to keep up with, I am also overwhelmed in other ways. I am completely overwhelmed by how amazing you all have been in supporting me in this quite possibly crazy business endeavor. In all seriousness, when Andrew convinced me that I should actually start selling my cards instead of hoarding them in our house, I thought he was kind of crazy. I mean, wouldn't I rather end up on that tv show Hoarders for hoarding something as ridiculous as cards? 700 sales later (yes, 700, holy crap-ola!!!) I might have to finally admit that maybe he was a little less crazy than he seemed.

Needless to say, you guys totally rock my socks. Big time. The end.

The Holiday Collection

November 12, 2012 • Heidi Shenk • "cards" • "etsy shop" • "holiday"

It has taken quite some time for me to prepare my holiday card collection this year. I never had any set block of time where I could really sit down and work on the designs I had floating around in my head. However, I can finally say that it is now ready (for the most part)! I still have a few more design ideas that I'll be working on this coming week, but for the time being I thought I would share what is currently available in the shop. I have included last year's designs in this year's collection as well because they have been tweaked a bit so that I am 100% satisfied with the final product. I have the cards listed as either singles or sets, so if you need a different quantity than what is listed, I am more than happy to accommodate! Here's a quick look at the full line of cards available in the holiday section in my shop.

I'm super excited to finally be finished with this project and share it with everyone! What do you all think?!
