Latest Additions to the "Bumper Basics" Range.

I've recently added 2 new paper sets and 3 border sets to the Bumper Basics range. 

The Bumper Basics range is just the thing to increase your digital stash quickly and cost effectively.  Every pack is just $3 and contains a bumper 48 colours (plus an additional white in the border sets).  They are all available to you through instant download, which means once you have ordered you will be able to download them within minutes, rather than having to wait for me to email them to you hours later.

I will be adding more to this range over time, and will keep you posted about new items. You can view the whole Bumper Basics range here.

Craft Club Project - Fabric Covered Notebooks

Well, the baby is just over 6 weeks old and a very good sleeper, so I decided I could probably make it to my monthly craft group last night.  I gave him a good feed, handed him over to Daddy for a nappy change and legged it for the front door!  Two and a half hours later I returned to find all of the family snugly tucked up in bed snoring their heads off.  Result!!!

I love going to my craft group, organised by the wonderful Mummy Hughesy . It's a bit of a break from the day to day, and a chance for a good natter. Originally we all worked on our own projects but recently we have been trying out new ideas together.

This week we had a go at jazzing up some notebooks with fabric.  We followed this tutorial http://pm-betweenthelines.blogspot.co.uk/2010/12/diy-gift-ideas-5-fabric-covered.html by Between the Lines, and very simple it was too.

First I chose one of my own fabric designs, a blue chevron, thinking it might make a nice Fathers' Day gift.

I had time to cover a second notebook for me, so I selected some cute daisy fabric. I ironed on some daisy ribbon as an embellishment to make it a bit more fancy.

This is a very quick and easy way to make notebooks that are interesting enough to give as a gift or stuff a stocking at Christmas.

Next month I am leading the ladies through a beginners' scrapbooking session, so I will be back then to post some photos of the result.

Until then, Happy Easter and I hope the Easter Bunny finds you all well and happy!

Scrapbooking, Printables & Clip Art by Instant Download

When my Etsy store started selling 100% digital items (clip art, digital papers, collage sheets, printables, etc.) I started looking for a faster order delivery method.

Originally, people ordering from Pininkie would have to wait for me to check my emails and process the orders manually.  Although I checked emails regularly, many orders would come in overnight and would not be emailed out until the next day.

 

Well, great news - this is no longer the case!

I have been trialling an instant download service, which has worked so well I have decided to use it permanently :o)

Now when you make an order you will automatically receive an email with a link to your downloadable products within 5 to 10 minutes - so, no more hanging around!

The customer feedback I have received about this service has been fantastic!  Not only are people pleased they receive their order in such a fast time frame, they also like the fact they have (at least) 30 days to download their products - they can order on their phone for instance, and download as soon as they get back on their home computer.  You can also download multiple times.

Bumper Pack of Chevron Scrapbooking Papers

Most of the Pininkie range also come with a commercial use licence, and have been designed with other crafters & Etsy sellers in mind.  A 10% discount is currently offered to all return customer too!  I like to keep my customers happy :o)

Bumper Basics Paper Range

I've just released a "Bumper Basics" range of digital papers.  Each pack contains an amazing 48 digital papers for just $3!!! (approximately £1.90).

Designed for fellow crafters, they are ideal for scrapbooking, card making, invitations, tags etc. and other paper crafts.

Each page is 12 x 12 inches at a high resolution of 300dpi.
Commercial usage is allowed, just check out my Etsy shop policies for further details.

Closing Folksy Shop for a While

Hello and Happy New Year to you all !

Just to let you know I will be closing my Folksy shop after Sunday 6th January, while I start my maternity leave.  I just can't face traipsing to the post office with my moosive bump if I get an order!

So if you have a desperate need for a picture of a chicken or an elephant tote bag, get over there now!

My Etsy store will be open for a while longer yet, as even in my present pudding state I can send emails - lol!
