We had another fun (and hot) Sunday at the South End Open Market. A few new products — available online soon, promise — were smash hits, so that was great! I actually ran out of business cards, so I made some on the spot. I even received several compliments, which was totally unexpected. Thank goodness I…

Yay! It’s almost Halloween, my favorite holiday! Some people love Halloween for the fear factor (I like it for the fun costumes + candy), and that’s what I’ve been thinking about this week since I’ve been bombarded with trailers for scary movies.

Penguin Books espresso mugs These espresso mugs aren’t based on the content of the books, but rather on the classic Penguin book covers that are so recognizable.

You may have guessed that I’m a big fan of paper cranes. I learned how to make them when I was in 4th grade; I still make them often. I think they’re beautiful, and that’s why I designed a note card set with a crane motif. Today I’m going to walk you through the steps…

great tutorial. question, does the glue stick work well for you? i tried it once and it made the thin wrapping paper wrinkle…
Thanks, Mary.
The glue stick does work for me, but the wrapping paper I’ve been using is a little thicker than your average wrapping paper. Some glue sticks are wetter (not sure if that’s the correct terminology, lol) than others, so it might be worth it to experiment with a few brands or use a more substantial paper. The only other thing I can think of would be to use double-sided tape, but I’m not sure how that would look since I’ve never tried it. Good luck!
