Etsy Launched!


I finally launched my Etsy store after a few weeks of preparation! When looking back at my account with Etsy, I had opened it up back in August 2014 with hopes of selling something one day. As of two days ago, I am open!

Currently I am selling digital cut files for the Silhouette Cameo and other cutters but will eventually move onto physical products. I have already sold some of my Valentines day cards on there and if there is enough interest from the general public, I'll eventually list them =).

I have more products that I will be selling soon, I just need to take photos of them! For now, I would just like to thank those who have been supporting me all this time, you know who you are!


Here are some of the cards that I have available right now! If you want the listings, contact me @ papermementos@gmail.com

Late post - Halloween card!



I had to wait until AFTER Halloween to post this card because I wanted to surprise a friend who loves the holiday. The funny thing is, I didn't even make him a card for his birthday but he gets one for Halloween instead. WHO MAKES CARDS FOR HALLOWEEN?? Well, I guess I do now =)

This card was inspired by other cards I found on Pinterest but other than that, it is my design. I had found a paper pad in Michaels that had paper for all holidays in a year and inside it had one with a spider web which was perfect. I used my cameo to cut out the holes on the left corner to give it some dimension and that was it!

Hot air balloon themed card



If you haven't guessed yet, this card was given to the owner of the baby mobile I posted about last week. Here is the link in case you missed it!

The baby shower itself was hot air balloon themed so it was appropriate for me to make a card like this. The original idea came from Pinterest, and I was able to recreate it using the silhouette cameo. The hot air balloon clip art was found online and I had printed it out using the "Print then Cut" feature on the cameo. I'll probably do a blog post later on down the line on how I do that, so stay tuned!

Happy birthday with layered balloon stamp



I created this card for a friend who has a birthday coming up and hopefully this person is going to like it when it arrives in the mail! I normally don't post cards before the recipient receives them but the timing of posts didn't work out!

For this card, I first used my silhouette cameo and stamping kit to cut out a balloon shape. Originally I was planning on buying a balloon stamp, but it was hard to find the perfect shape that I wanted to use. Stamps are also super expensive and the Cameo allows me to create any shape I want, whenever I want! 

The inspiration for this card was from Pinterest and the original card had three different colors but I decided to stick with two to make it easier for me to stamp.

Also! It is so convenient to have envelopes that I pre-made with different colors! Beats having to find an envelope every time I make a card!! For the post on how I made more cards, click here!
