6 Comments Edit
I'm a BIG fan of Paperless Post. If you haven't heard about this site,  Paperless Post helps you create online & paper stationery that reflects your individual aesthetic. They have many different styles to choose from & you can choose to send both online & through snail mail (the old fashion way).  

The site has a a very user-friendly interface, where you can easily customize designs for any occasion like weddings to just casual event invites!  I LOVE Paper less post because you can easily send fancy invites via email from designers like Ms. Wearstler to Kate Spade.  I've purchased a few of Kelly's paper stationery - below are my favorites from her collection!!  Check out her line, plus more here.

10 Reasons to Send a Handwritten Note

12 Comments Edit
When was the last time you wrote a handwritten note or card?  What's the point when we can just send an email, right? 

Well, there certainly is a point to sending handwritten notes. It allows the receiver to receive a "thoughtful" gesture.  It shows that the sender took time to write the note - & that is definitely much more meaningful.  I don't know about you - but the few times I receive a handwritten note or card in the mail, I got excited! Don't you?? When writing notes, you can throw in your own personality & even show off your great penmanship (if you have) - and if not, no worries. You still stand out in the crowd for sending handwritten versus digital.

There is something about it....it's sort of vintage & special I guess. Ok, so for letters, you can easily send note cards when you want to send a simple message like "I love you" to someone special. Who has time to write a long letter? Well, not many of us, but a sentence or  two on a note card shows that you're still willing to take time out to send something personal when most people won't.  In many instances it gives you an edge. When I want to send a BIG thank you to a client - 99.9% of the time, I mail them a handwritten thank you card. The best part is... you can choose from so many styles, from luxurious to sweet & simple!

Below are 10 reasons why I feel handwritten notes are awesome:
  • they're thoughtful
  • it's a nice gesture
  • makes people feel important
  • it's exciting to open
  • feels good to receive beautiful & luxurious card stock / note cards like this one
  • it has more meaning behind it
  • great way to encourage or brighten someone's day
  • makes you stand out to a client 
  • when a man writes a handwritten love note, it's much sweeter
  • it can be kept as a reminder or memento


Now you see...handwritten notes are a great way to show what's in your heart.


Who was the last person you sent a handwritten note to?

New Stationery by Jen Ramos

10 Comments Edit
Sooooo excited to go back to my roots. What am I talking about? Well, when I first started MADE BY GIRL - I launched my business making note cards & greeting cards. Then a short time later, I removed them from my shop and to concentrate art prints.  Today.... I'm excited to announce to the return of my very own stationery!  This has been a dream of mine for quite some time and today it has come true.  Now, this is only the beginning, but the inspiration for this stationery is drawn from my artwork at Cocoa & Hearts.  They are printed on a high-end 110lb double thick card stock -  top quality!

My dream of course doesn't stop here, I'd love to eventually get my cards into stores all over the world. Of course, Paper Source is the ultimate spot. Why? Because it's in NYC & I pass the store every weekend & just love it!  Then of course, Kate's Paperie.

Are you a buyer or a retail store owner? 

If you think you'd be interested in carrying the cards, email us.  In the meanwhile, they are officially available for purchase in my shop: MADE BY GIRL.  So grateful to God for this...more designs to come!

Cartas de Amor (Love Letters)

46 Comments Edit
Hello everyone! I know it's Saturday & don't I normally don't post on weekend, but I've been working on this wonderful project for several weeks now. I'm exhausted!  However, being that it's February & almost Valentine's Day - the word LOVE has been constantly on my mind. 

A few weeks ago, I created 'Cartas de Amor', which means "Love Letters" in Spanish. It's a collection of personal love letters from 18 bloggers, including myself. In addition, there's a whole bunch of gift ideas, delicious desserts & more! The reason I decided to do it in a magazine format was because I really felt it would look much better than in a blog post. 

I hope you'll enjoy it & tweet about it, add it to Facebook & share it with others.
 
My guy has always been a ROMANTIC throughout our relationship & so I wanted to capture the idea of what LOVE was for other people. There's something special about a handwritten note that far outweighs any email - taking the time write on a piece of paper is refreshing. It's truly an act of love to write a love letter. In fact most of the great poets did it this way.

It is such a blessing to have all these women share LOVE letters with all of us!  Cartas De Amor is now live!!!! Please take a look here.

Please feel free to BLOG about it & if you do, let me know! I will re-tweet your post to my followers! Thanks!
