New Stamp Available!

Stamps have been my obsession lately, I've probably got at least four myself, and I find they make a great gift for just about any occasion - from birthdays, to engagements, to weddings, to house warming and everything in-between. And by the way the stamps have been selling in the Believe Notes shop, it seems other people like them as much as I do!

So, I've added a new stamp design, now available for purchase. It's a mix of modern calligraphy and bold typography and is dubbed "City Life" since the layout is perfect for somebody with an apartment and unit number.

If you want to get your hands on the new "City Life" stamp, head on over to the Believe Notes shop and grab it for just $35 as a wood handle stamp.

Custom Address Stamps by Believe Notes

If you've been following me on twitter you might have already read my tweets about my computer having a "corrupt" operating system - which I am convinced is equivalent of a Mac virus. Either way, it caused mayhem for me, and has kept me away from this blog for what feels like forever. Over the last two months all sorts of internet-related things stopped working, until finally I had no Facebook, no Etsy, no blogger, no email, no google, no paypal, no banking, and so on. I basically had no internet. It's really hard to run a business without any internet access.

Correction - it's really hard to stay sane without internet access. Thank goodness for the iPad, and it's limited, but enough-to-keep-me-sane internet access.

Anyway, my husband fixed my computer, and now I am back in business & back to blogging. Although, it is really overwhelming to come back and blog after such a long time. So much has happened and I want to share it all, but I'm behind over a month, so I need to organize my thoughts and share one thing at a time.

And so here we go!

One thing I am super excited to announce, is that I am now selling custom Return Address Stamps in the Etsy shop.

I am super excited to be selling these - as I've been making them for a while, and I love, love, love them. In fact, last year for Christmas practically everybody in my family got one! I've given them to friends and family as gifts for house warming, engagements, weddings, birthdays and so on. I think they are just perfect - and starting at $25, they are a practical gift too!

So head on over and check out all of the font options to find the stamp that works best for your occasion!

If you've stopped by my Etsy shop lately, you might have noticed something brand new - I'm now selling Birth Announcements!

Let me introduce you to my newest additions:

The announcements are $50 for a minimum of 25 sets. Each set comes with a euroflap white envelope, the matching pattern printed on the back, and your choice of Linen, 100% Recycled or Pearl/Shimmer papers.

Now For Sale: Bookmarks

I really don't like the idea of throwing out paper. Call me a tree hugger if you must, but at the end of the day I try to be as environmentally friendly as possible. When you come to my home, don't ask for a bottle of water; I refuse to buy them.

While some of my designs get sent out to be printed, almost all of my invitations and stationery are printed in house. That means I cut the paper down myself. That also means I end up with tons and tons of scrap paper. I refuse to throw out the long, narrow scraps, so I have drawers and drawers full of them. And then I started using the scraps around the house as bookmarks. And then my husband started using them as bookmarks. And then I took a few to work to use as bookmarks. And then it dawned on me, these odd sized scrap papers can be recycled! How perfectly efficient!

So, new to the shop are bookmarks - totally recycled in every aspect, and the perfect stocking stuffer!

The best part about these? They're only $5 for the set of three! So head on over to my Etsy shop and grab some!
