Valentine's Day Readiness

While I still feel like the holidays just ended, it's already time to start thinking ahead to Valentine's Day. I'd had a couple of custom requests for Valentine's cards in my shop and realized that my listings from last year were still deactivated. My brain wasn't ready for the next holiday I guess! But alas, we are already at the end of January and it's time to start planning ahead.

Upon relisting my cards from last year, I've already had several orders for them. So I'm telling you, get those Valentine items listed...now. Buyers are out there and ready to shop!

 

Over the last couple of years, I've added a couple new designs to my shop each year. One of the custom requests I got this year was for a popular quote "I love you to the moon and back". I thought it was the perfect design to add to this year's offerings.

Is your shop ready for Valentine's Day?

Valentine's Day - Just Around the Corner!

Wow, I'm just now starting to get caught up from holiday orders and it's already time to start thinking about Valentine's Day! I still have a post planned about everything I learned from my busiest holiday season ever, but wanted to get this post up since Valentine's Day is less than a month away! (how did that happen!)

 

Last year I had 3 designs available for purchase in my wooden card collection. And this year I'm adding two more designs.

I'm so glad I'm starting to get caught up because that allowed me time over the weekend to actually work on new designs! I love coming up with fun new themes and expanding existing lines. First up is the ever-popular tandem bike design. This design still does very well for wedding items and cuff links. This design is a little different from my other tandem bikes as it has a basket on the front full of hearts spilling into the air. I thought it added that right amount of "cute" to the card :)

And I've always enjoyed this LOVE design based on the sculpture by Robert Indiana. I recreated the design in my software program and added a simple sentiment to the bottom. All of these cards can be customized with any wording of the buyer's choice.

Look for these new designs in the shop soon. I got them created and engraved, but haven't had a chance to photograph them quite yet.

Are you working on any new items in your shop for Valentine's Day?
