Store of the week: Paper Doll

The featured store of the week is Paper Doll, located in Chicago, IL. They girls at Paper Doll have been buying from Rosebud Design Studio consistently since I started. Although I have never been to their store (and never even been to Chicago), if you are in the area, you should check it out. They stock tons of great lines, fun gift items, and have a cute little store mascot, Maude, the pug. Thanks for being great customers!

Bliss Print from Yellena

I just recently received the above print that I ordered from Yellena's etsy shop. I really love her drawings. The colors are bright and fun, and the artwork is almost like advanced doodling (I mean that as a good thing).

I'm starting to collect affordable art pieces. So far, I have a gooco print from Sugarloop, a silkscreened poster from L2, some letterpressed pieces from Manifesto, an art print from Old School Stationers, and some other random stuff of my own creation.

Product of the Week: Snowflake Cards

These cards are one of my favorites. They are foil stamped in pearl foil onto super thick white paper stock.

For the design, I played around with flourishes to create original snowflake designs. I like cutting up decorative fonts and arranging them symmetrically to create more complicated flourishes, and ultimately patterns. I know, pretty dorky. I could spend hours doing this.

Below are some of the snowflakes I created before making my final choice.

Rosebud on Delightful Blogs

I've added Rosebud Design Studio's blog to the Delightful Blog listing. This website is a fun little database of blogs in areas such as fashion, design, food, shopping and travel. It's got a clean and cute layout (love the birdie) so that everything is easy to find. You can check out Rosebud's listing here.
