Sunday stroll

Today there was a break in the weather to take a Sunday stroll with the family into town. The sun was shining on our shoulders and the birds sang to us before we reached our favourite cafe for our latte and baby chino fix....homebound wore the toddler out just enough for a nice long day nap....perfect!

I spy a few little items that I would love to take with me...next time ;)

red elephant hearts - yolk folk and carrot crew in town - easter activity and decor for your kids!

I just HAVE to share this one with you....such a unique idea by Mibo Studio decorate your home (and keep your little ones busy)....these are so very cool! You print and assemble yourself...at home...with all the wet weather, this is definitely one I am saving for the toddler...

Make sure you check out the rest of their store whilst you are there is a jungle crew (right down this red elephants alley), jet set crew and wise old crew...fabulous!!!

Etsy treasury featuring our lime gift tags is a breath of fresh spring air

A breath of fresh air is this lovely etsy treasury...all in spring green. Thank you Charissa Laarman from Snippets by Design (check out her pretty paper crafts) for including our lime green gift tags...

Our new little bird creations .... in a very clever treasury

The birds have come - NEW DESIGNS in celebration of joining twitter!

We have been dreaming this one up for quite a while and truthfully, it took me a little bit to photograph and post online...and I know you'll just love her!!! Meet little bird, designed to celebrate our joining twitter...One little ripper of a design if I may say so myself...we have one already sold and two listed on etsy treasuries...all within 12 hours of listing!

Think natural, neutral tones with a little edge.

The paper garland comes in lengths of 3 metres, or contact me directly for a custom order (redelephantcreative[a]iinet.net.au).

Bringing the sunshine inside...and a case of man flu

So the landscaper gave me his man flu, that will teach me to be so affectionate with him! The toddler is at daycare today and after a dose of my all organic home made beetroot, carrot and ginger juice, I have popped the baby down for her nap and made a treasury....the weather man said its going to be 28 days of rain....so lets bring the sunshine inside with these etsy finds!

We've got butterflies...in our cupcakes!

Fluttering butterflies are adorning our studio....actually we've been somewhat addicted to making these super cute party/cupcake picks...we are loading up 5 colour palettes this week onto our madeit and etsy stores...pretty pink on white and grey, peppermint and white, classic yellow, grey and white, cool blues on grey and white and fun purples in three tones with white!

Of course in true red elephant style we are happy to custom order quantities and colour palettes to your liking!

Adore your valentine - write them letters of love...

Valentines day is less than a month away...so over the next few weeks I will be visiting ideas of ways you can adore your valentine!
Todays idea is the old fashioned kind...write them a letter of love..or two or more...leave them in their lunch box, in their car...send them by snail mail to work...or home, when they least expect it, they will feel your love, the old fashioned way :)
Write from the heart, about days gone past, about days ahead - about what you love ... about your loved one!
Spray it with perfume, fill the envelope with rose petals, kiss it with lipstick - make it pretty....!

...and write in on our love letter sweet heart love notelts...available at our madeit (for the Aussies) and etsy (for the internationals)....

 

     

More new stuff.... and seeking advice on stock control management

This design is totally out of my comfort zone...its sporting no colour, not an ounce...which my philosophy is to always wear at least one piece of colour...but it works and its fresh, contemporary and somewhat organic...and lets justify it by saying...well you can always use it to dress something colourful.

These are hand stamped scalloped tags with a garden vine block print in stone ink...I dare say, I will find other uses for this print...I do like it...alot! oh! they are available on etsy and madeit of course! Links to my online stores are in the side margin of this blog!

On a lot less creative note, i am looking for advice on stock control management...ie keeping track of what I have made and in stock....With small item stationary stuff, particularly that which uses unique papers which are seasonal, and therefore not always available, I need to keep track of what I have for online sales and my visits to markets as well as retailers (hint hint nudge nudge wholesale enquiries welcome over here ... :)) has anyone had any experience using any of the online stock management systems or do they have any manual system which they have used successfully??? Your tips would be much appreciated!!!

Cupcakes never looked sweeter...Looks like our cupcake toppers are being noticed!

Its really exciting to see red elephant creative new ranges being noticed! Especially after putting so much energy last year in developing our style...whilst I thought it would be something that happens straight away, its definitely a process which requires lots of thought and ongoing tweaking to find something which tickles your heart when you make it and see it finished. So our new cupcake topper/party pick range is also being noticed on etsy. I am still to upload the full range to made it and as such, haven't yet made the formal announcement on this blog yet...but do I need to say anymore? Or shall I let this treasury speak for itself!

Tag me up baby...We got featured!

We've recently been featured in a couple of treasuries, thank you lovely likers of red elephant creative!







what a lovely way to start the year!!!! ooooh this little red elephant is feeling the love!!!

Happiness and Health are the wishes for 2012 to all our followers! xx
