New Adventures!

I’m so very excited to announce that I have opened an Etsy shop!!

I’ve been wanting to do it for a long time. I have loved making cards and invitations for friends through the years, and I hope to do the same for many others in the future!

For ideas on what I can customize for you, take a look at my shop profile! I love to try new things, too. If you have an idea you’d like me to try out for you, message me and let’s make it come to life!

I just want to take a moment to say thank you to all my friends and family who have supported and encouraged me to do this. I am beyond blessed and honestly, don’t think I would I would have ever considered taking this step if you all didn’t believe in me so much.

The biggest thank you goes to my husband. He’s my rock, truly. He believes in me so much I can barely fathom it. He also does amazing things to help me at the drop of a hat. Really, just couldn’t make it all happen without him <3

To celebrate this momentous milestone, I’m doing some extra fun stuff this week!!

I am hosting some giveaways! The first is for one of these Rifle Paper Company Planners. I really need a new planner as mine is running out and it’s so tiny, I can’t really fit much useful information in the spaces. I wanted one of these Rifle planners, but I simply could not pick which pattern I wanted (to me, they are both so beautiful), so I had the brilliant idea to have one of my Instagram followers choose for me!! The lucky winner of the random draw on Instagram will get to pick which pattern they want. I’ll keep the other – perfect!

(PS  This giveaway is in no way affiliated with or sponsored by Rifle Paper Co or Instagram)

The other giveaway will be for a set of 5 custom letterpress note cards with envelopes. I will hand letter a monogram, name or short phrase of your choosing, create a letterpress plate and then letterpress it onto gorgeous lettra letterpress paper.

To enter these giveaways, just follow me on Instagram @rosiechristinestudio (link to account is also on the right side of the page) and look for the pictures above to appear in my feed. Follow the instructions on the post to enter! The planner giveaway starts on Monday (today!) and it will be open for 48 hours. The letterpress card giveaway will then begin on Wednesday (Sep 21st) and also be open for 48 hours.

And finally, I can’t think of any better way to start my little shop off than with a fundraiser! I am running the Hot Chocolate 5K here in Denver, CO on October 1st, and as part of that, I am fundraising for Ronald McDonald House Charities. I’d really like to raise about $200.00 if I can. If you are able and willing to donate, I would like to extend some special gifts that I created specifically with Super Kids in mind as a thank you.

MY DONATION PAGE!

This charity holds a special place in my heart. I have a family member who battled cancer as a small child and through much kindness, many prayers and lots of talented medical personnel, she beat it!  It was a long, hard, scary struggle, though. The medical facilities she needed weren’t close to home, either, so they depended on charities such as Ronald McDonald House in order to make some of those trips happen.  I think it’s amazing that they all got to be together as a family during those times. I fully believe that being together as a family provides special healing powers. So I’d like to give something back to this group that helped her and her family through a really hard time.

For everyone who donates $10 or more, I will email you a digital file that includes these two cards (pictured above).

You can print them out as many times as you like. There is one card of each design on the printable. All you have to do is print the file onto a 8.5″ by 11″ piece of paper (I recommend card stock), cut the page in half and then fold each card in half.

Super simple, and you’ll have two A2 sized cards that fit in a standard A2 envelope!

For everyone who donates $25 or more, you will be emailed the digital file for the cards I just mentioned, as well as a digital file for this 8″x10″ printable (pictured above). Again, you can print this as many times as you like and give to as many kids (or adults!) as you like.

The art is centered in the middle of the page, so after printing on 8.5″x11″ paper (I recommend card stock) you will need to trim off a quarter inch from both the left and right sides and then a half an inch from both the top and bottom. I made sure to include some little crop marks on the file so you know where to cut 🙂

If printables aren’t your thing, and you’d rather have these designs sent to you in physical form, I will have these and other designs all available for sale in my shop starting this week.  Now through Saturday, October 1st, 2016, 50% of all sales from these designs will go towards my fundraising. There are also other designs as well as these same designs in additional colors, available soon in the shop. Follow/Favorite my shop so you can get updates on what’s new! Every little bit helps and I thank you from the bottom of my heart in advance!

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask.
