Indie Biz 101 - Create a shop header

So you are getting ready to launch your shop? Or maybe you already have but your not sure how to make a banner for your shop? I'm going to show you a very simple way to do this.

Step One Go to picmonkey.com

Step two To get a white background or different color background go to paint and save the background. Then.

Step three. Resize the background. 980 is the width for storenvy. 760x100 is the size for an Etsy header.

Step four Choose whatever graphics you like and you can rotate them any way you like.

Step Five - I chose a triangle and flipped it upside down. To have this image go all the way across the top. Duplicate the overlay.

Step six - Choose your colors.

Step seven - Choose the font(s) you want to use and type in your shop name and click add. Change the color to your liking.

Step eight - Crop out whatever white you don't need to use.

Step nine - Save your file.

That's it! Simple & easy! Next time I'll be showing you how to put graphics in your header for all you DIYers. :)

New Shop Items {Rings + Subway art/Prints}

I hope you all had a wonderful 3 day weekend. I have added some new shop items to the shop and I'm taking Gussy Sews's advice and going to try and do this once a week.

First 100 percent new item is the Red Rose Ring. I have been wanting to put rings in the shop for awhile now and I am so glad I finally got around to doing just that.

I designed this ring for two reasons. One because I am in love with the color red and I love roses!
- The ring band is silver plated.
- The ring band is adjustable.
Item will be shipped 24 to 48 hours after payment has been and received.

Next up - I am now offering custom subway art digital file's and custom print digital files. Here is a few I have done.

I made this subway art digital file for Hidden Beauty Photography. She wrote a great review of it on her blog today.

I made this one for the sweet Casey who is hands down the sweetest woman you will ever meet.

& this one for Tiffany @ Blabbering Thoughts!

You can now also find prints in the shop that 100% of proceeds go to the shine project.
