FYI Not a Turkey!

Wishing you and yours a very nice time together, and for all of those who can’t share the day…a most excellent phone call or two!

tiny matters from StickFiggy

Here it is, the first official card collection available for purchase or pre-order on Etsy!

I’m so excited to show these to you because:

THE SIZE 3 1/2 x 5 dimension is so cozy and pretty much rocks the smallest standard size you can zip through the snail-mail. Tired of those relentless 5x7s?  I am!

THE THEME “is “Tree of Hearts.” The image with StickFiggy picking the hearts came from a card I made for my mom almost 2 years ago for Valentine’s day during a quick lunch break. StickFiggy looked a little different 2 years ago…

THE BUNNY is there! It is my little below-the-radar “find-it” item.

THE P.S. CARDS! While taking the packaging and layout to a new level for my grandmother’s 84th birthday gift…I came up with this concept for P.S. mini cards. I hope you like them…I always loved the idea of getting the extra something that’s totally unexpected. Ever receive a purse as a present that had an extra gift tucked inside? Santa always delivered like that for me.  Simply the best- right!?

So, the Etsy store is here and you can always get to it from the tab on our Facebook page!

Ok, so now I understand why Santa has elves! What we have going on here is a tester order bound for the heartland of American etiquette: Saint Louis, MO! This sample pack includes three designs from the Tree Heart series as a “Thank you,” “for you.” and “…I still love you. Happy Valentines Day!”   + Birthday Pie… because we all need an extra one of those around for the sneak-up-on-you Birthdays that lurk around the Holidays.  I’ll put more pictures up showing the fun packaging in the near future and the details for when and where you can purchase your own!

Of course the little P.S. cards are in there too, b/c tiny matters.

Thank you to our Veterans! A special shout-out to my brother Curt Marshall (and his particular unit) for his service in the U.S. Marines and various deployments in the Iraq war.

How and when did this official holiday start? November 11th is the chose day because of the date beginning the armistice between the Allied Nations and Germany during World War I. More can be found at the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs website.

Forward this to any Vets that you know and care about!

Thankfully,

Exciting things are happening for StickFiggy! As I prepare for the launch of our P.S. Card outreach program, package design has become an important challenge. See here what came out of a little fun with Martha Stewart’s scoring board, this lovely MacBook’s Photoshop Elements program, and of course, a little old-fashioned ink-on-paper!

These are the first 2 items on trial at Etsy.

The update-

As many of StickFiggy’s fans know, the first official picture book has been under construction for over a year.  It feels like a long time, but there is quite a bit to learn! Thank you again to all the people who officially and unofficially help! For those of you who don’t know, it is a story about needing then finding friendship, and what it takes to mend one when things go awry.

So, during this process of finding a home for the book with a publisher, it has become clear that some of my FAVORITE pictures and characters must be cut. So, I’m back to the editing room. The good news though, is that now I can share a few of these pictures with you!  The pirates and lion will need a story of their own!

Special notice:

StickFiggy is coming to Etsy! We’ll be releasing our first official collection of cards and glass ornaments any day now.

P.S…we’re so thrilled to finally have products to add to your daily cheer. Remember to share StickFiggy with your friends with the free e-cards or via facebook!

Best,

Jane
