Hi I'm Shelly. I love wedding and party decor so I decided to open an Etsy Shop. I gave up wedding planning to focus solely on the decor side of weddings. I enjoyed the planning but I found that designing the details of a wedding was what I enjoyed most. I am glad I found this team!

Hello! I'm a Portuguese who lives in England for 3 years now. I love parties and my most popular item are these little hearts which I designed.

They can be made in different colour combinations.
Every item from my Etsy shop is hand-cut and hand-stitched by me in my little studio at my cosy home in the countryside of the UK.
You're very welcome to visit my shop :)

Hey everyone :) My name is Sonya. I am a work at home Mom from New Albany, Indiana. I hold a degree in multimedia graphic design. Three years ago I got tired of working as a supervisor 80+ hours a week and decided to pursue my passion in design. I haven't regretted that decision for a single second. It is now my full time business.

I specialize in commercial use clip art, digital patterns, and textures. I don't require any extended licenses to use my product commercially. The majority of my clients and customers are in the party and invitation design business. I keep my terms simple, and my prices affordable.

Hi there!

My name is Shayna. I am a digital designer & photographer. i just opened my store at the beginning of December so I am still a newbie :) It's called The Paper Pegasus and I sell digital papers, textures, clip art, posters, borders, frames, posters, etc...I am from Toronto but I currently live in Bali, Indonesia. I wanted to sare my work with people without needing to ship physical items. So I thought a digital design store on Etsy was the perfect solution. So far I am having a blast and everyone I've met has been so nice. Glad to be part of this group!

Cheers,
Shayna

Hi Everyone,

My shop Runaway Cape features handmade Light Catchers.

The light catchers, are colorful, unique décor for weddings, special events, and the home. They make great take-home favors for events.

I created these for my own wedding. We hung about 65 light catchers around the perimeter of our tent for the reception. My guests were absolutely dazzled, and it turned out to be a great take-home gift. The sheer satin edge ribbon creates a glamorous, intimate feeling, and the wood embroidery hoop offers a rustic touch of whimsy.

If you have a moment, please check out my shop:

Hi everyone!

My name is Laura and my shop is Wee Merry Memories. I make handmade invitations and party decor for children's parties. I'm a newbie -- I started my shop last October after some friends saw the things I've made for my own kiddos. They told me about Etsy and encouraged me to check it out. I started with only several item and have spent the last couple of months just creating and adding to my listings.

Today is the first day I joined "Teams". It's very exciting! Whatever the word is for the opposite of "social media junkie" -- that's me. LOL! I don't have a Facebook or Twitter, but am hoping to get those up and running eventually as well.

I've really enjoyed my Etsy experience so far and hope that be a part of a Team will make it even more positive! :-)

Thanks so much. I am looking forward to learning the ropes here!

Hi Everyone!
My name is Kim, and my shop is KAD Designs for Love. I started my shop last spring when I was planning for my own wedding. After sending out my save the dates and invitations, I had many inquiries from friends and friends of friends asking me to design theirs also. This is when I decided to open up my Etsy shop, hoping that others out there would be interested in my designs and allow for me to follow my passion of paper goods and special events!

I have been getting increasingly more traffic, and sales which has really been exciting for me. Although, I am still working on my brand and am in the process of attempting to organize and unify my store to make it visually more appealing.

This is one of my first teams, so I am hopeful that it will bring many new contacts and ideas!

Cheers!
Kim

My name is Kirsten and I'm the creator of Marble This, a wedding invitation and gifts shop. I learned a paper marbling technique a few years ago and started turning that paper into greeting cards, and eventually wedding invitations. I am still learning how to navigate Etsy "teams" so please let me know if I need to be doing something else!

Thank you!
Kirsten

I make printable invitations for different occasions including weddings, birthdays, bridal showers, tea parties, etc. I am still a newbie trying to get my inventory stocked up and my shop has been open a little over a week.

Hi! I am Tamara Woodard and I own/design at Two Four Five Designs. I specialize in Digital Printables, featuring mostly scripture. I do custom orders, too! My shop is fairly new and has changed it's look these last few months. I stay at home with my baby girl, Penelope. Before I had her, my shop featured hand sewn goodies, but wouldn't you know that babies don't really allow time for sitting down at my sewing machine? (Haha). So now I sell printables, and have moved my business to Etsy :) I look forward to getting to know you! Stop by my shop and take a look around!

Thanks!
