Custom Prints For Sale!

So its been quite a busy month with lots of work on...yeeeey! A big part of this bas been doing custom prints for occassions such as Christenings, Engagements and Birthdays, had a really positive reaction to these and my orders have been ticking over nicely. They have proved to be really good gifts and can be customised to include names, dates, place and personal information. In some cases even the colours and fonts have been customed to the individual for that added personal touch.

The print itself is printed onto A4 matte textured cream card and framed up with one of Ikeas finest! With earlier versions I did start by printing them on glossy photo paper but found that the textured card gave a much nicer high end look to the print.

In the next couple of weeks I will be putting up some print templates onto Etsy to cover birthdays, weddings, births/christenings etc, so that the customer can select the occassion print and then send me in an email the personal info and preffered colours. But for now here is a selection of examples of some of the most recent prints...

Miss Sugar Bones Brooch Cards.

I recently completed a project for a local designer Miss Sugar Bones who was launching her Etsy shop selling her cute animal brooch designs. She required a card to pin her brooches to that would also double as a advertisement for her business, these would reflect the look of her shop and also provide a medium in which to display her designs.

I started by brain storming some ideas by hand then worked these into working examples in Photoshop to send to her so she could pick the design she liked best that could then be developed into a final product. This process can be seen in the images below...

Initial Designs.

The preferred design was selected and I got to work developing this into a final product. The detail of the button was changed from printed to actual buttons, each card would have a different coloured button so that the colour of the brooch could be matched to button. The background to the button was also developed into an eight bit bow design to add extra detail but not drawing attention away from the actual brooch. The final card design can be seen below...

Final Card Design.

With the final design approved thirty cards were printed to start off with, and the various coloured buttons glued to the design. These were printed out on medium thickness card so that they would keep their form with the brooch attached and wouldn't be too thick for the brooch to be attached to.

Final Printed Cards.

The cards were handed over and the brooches attached. They are currently up for sale on Miss Sugar Bones' Etsy page and look FAB, so go treat yourself!

Notebooks Galore!

This week I have been working on some further notebook designs to add to Etsy. By doing this I am trying to establish what is a popular theme and cater for this in notebooks and a range of other products. For this notebook I have taken inspiration from Paperchase prints and designed a sweet treats composition of doughnuts, cakes, lollys and chocolates.

Below is pictured the steps of creating this notebook that will soon be up on Etsy for sale :)

Etsy Notebooks!

Pictured below is the selection of notebooks that i now have on sale on the craft marketplace Etsy. All notebooks are 100% hand drawn with original illustrations and stamped on the back with the Paper Rabbit logo. All illustrations are drawn with Posca paint pens and colour added with Copic graphic markers.

These few notebooks are only the start and I am working on further stock as I write this, so watch this space :) Fingers crossed all you peeps like what you see and part with your pennies, I guarantee you will enjoy using these notebooks as much as I did making them.

Custom Note Book Doodles

For my first blog post I thought I would start with a few pieces I have been working on over the last couple of weeks, which include two CUSTOM SKETCH NOTE BOOKS. These are simple plain brown note books from Paper Chase with a paper texture and decorated with black and white Posca pens with custom character illustration. The aim of these is to hopefully earn myself some pennies and also to develop the designs further onto more note books. 

Below are some snaps of the finished note books and some from mid production. A few design issues need to be ironed out then these and some others will be going on sale on Etsy very soon.

Thank You :D
