at a store near you ~ my Papyrus card

Papyrus card

First day of October. I figure it’s good day to get a little Halloween spirit going? Yes?

A long time fan of Papyrus cards, I’m honored to have one of my designs included in the collection this year. I have to say it’s pretty adorable. If I saw it in a store, I would most definitely snatch one up. They left my original design as is, but embellished all the black with a little touch of glitter, as only Papyrus can do. How’s that for Halloween spirit?

happy October!

Congratulations! It certainly is a big achievement to have your work selling in a well known store, especially one that you have always liked.

I bought your card last weekend - I'm looking at it on my desk as I type! I thought the adorable bunny seemed familiar, so I searched Etsy for your name and eventually found your shop and this blog.

I love the card so much that I'll probably keep it instead of sending it. Or, I'll buy some more!

I actually bought this card about 2 weeks ago. I thought, gee, that looks a lot like that Creative Thursday stuff . (I only recently discovered you since I saw your work in one of those Studios' magazines.) Anyway, when I got home I saw your name printed on the back of the card. I decided not to send it! I'm keeping it, cause it's so precious! Good job & all the best.

Ooh, how fun. I'm not a big Halloween fan, but I might have to at least send cards this year...

OMG! I just bought this card for my niece's first Halloween! It's amazing!!! How did you hook up with Papyrus?!

Posted by: Jen | 10/06/2009 10:34:20 AM

thank you everyone!! I finally saw my first one "out in the world" in a store here in Ashland, Oregon!! it was exciting, more so than I expected it to be :) Also fun to have my mom with me when we discovered it.
Jen ~ several years ago when I first started daily painting Papyrus was following me, and then last year a friend who had worked with them put me in directly in touch with her contact and there you go!

Posted by: Marisa | 10/06/2009 11:35:34 AM

That is so exciting! They're lucky to have you, the card is darling!

Maybe you aren't allowed to say for weird legal reasons, but what store(s) sells Papyrus cards? I live in PA. SUPER CUTE card! Congrats.

Posted by: Elizabeth | 10/06/2009 09:58:51 PM

yahoo! and oops. nevermind about me asking where to get them :)

Posted by: lisa mertins | 10/07/2009 01:10:52 PM

hi Elizabeth!

oh no, no weird legal reasons about sharing where they sell. I honestly wish I knew all the places. It is so random. I've found them everywhere from grocery stores like Whole Foods to gift stores to actual Papyrus stores to Target? someone said they thought that Papyrus cards sold at Target as well, but I'm really not sure about that one.

Posted by: Marisa | 10/07/2009 11:21:21 PM

Marisa

I went into town to the papyrus store here in Hawaii just to buy your card but alas! no card :-(

I'm not entirely surprised Hawaii is like that a lot, sometimes we have to accept that its all a little behind here in exchange for the beautiful island and lifestyle :-)

I'm just catching up after a few months and weeeee! This card is so sweet and congratulations, being in a national stationery store is huge. Many, many greetings to you from wayyyy over here and I wish you many more good things at Papyrus and beyond.

hello from one of your fishies!

Those are too CUTE!

How can i manage to buy them on line...since i now live in France...?

Posted by: Celyn Burdin-Nicholson | 10/17/2009 07:36:29 AM

Hi Celyn ~ They do sell globally as well. Now whether they are in France and where they would be exactly....I'm not sure. But, I'm planning to give one away here next week, so stay tuned and maybe you can win one!
