Make a Shop Window Card
Shop Window Cards are brilliant - a whole host of goodies on display inside a shop window, making a pretty unique greeting card.
Download A Printable Kit
To make one of these sweet greeting cards, just download our complete kit, print as many times as you need - you can even Sell What You Make - and then get the scissors and glue out to make it up.
We have various printable Shop Window Cards in our store but the one shown here is the Beautiful Cafe Shop Window Card.
You can also find a shop window card template for designing your own - and yes you can sell them as printables too!

Pink Pig Donation
Today we had the pleasure of meeting two ladies from Pink Pig International when they brought us some boxes of offcuts AND some lovely black scrapbooks suitable for our Unremembered project.
I haven't had a chance to look inside the boxes yet but there were some lovely colourful bags of papers too - they handmake a huge range of scrapbooks, notebooks, watercolour and sketchbooks just down the road from us.
I'll be writing more once we've had a delve into the goodies but the reason we are excited to work with them is their use of paper which is sourced sustainably or recycled where possible, and the fact that they clearly try to minimise their waste by distributing it to local schools, and now us.
(including personalised covers!)
