Our Business is Gearing up for Launch. Would you like to Join?

Hello everyone & I hope you are enjoying your day.  I have some exciting news!!

Sunshine Stamp Co. is gearing for Launch!!

We would like to send out a call for doodlers, designers, hand-letterers (is that a word), bible journalers, planner fanatics, and everyone else.  Currently, what we are looking for are physical and digital doodles and designs that can be used made into clear stamps for bible journaling and planners.  We are also looking for alphabets.

These designs will be created into clear photo-polymer stamp sets.  We are not asking for any specifics because we want people to have room for creativity and showing their own personal style.

We will be planning the next several months of releases, which will occur once a month.  Each month a few stamp sets will be released.  At the moment we are focusing on stamps, and will be looking into stickers and coordinating kits in in the future.

Please pray about whether you should send a sample of your artwork in.  We will be praying over the responses and how God would lead this small business startup.  I greatly appreciate all the kind people in our community who have helped me a long the way and have answered my many questions!

Please e-mail the following to xolittleone@gmail.com

  • Your name.
  • Links to blog/social media accounts where you share your work.
  • Your favorite way to express creativity (bible journaling, planning, doodling, handwriting, etc.)
  • Attach a few pictures that show your personal style.  (Please attach .jpg's that are 1000 pixels or less wide).

  • A few sentences about yourself.

All submissions should be in at midnight (EST) by November 20th, 2015. Everyone will receive a response by November 30th, 2015.  Thank you all!  Please share this on your social media accounts.  Especially for those you know who have a special talent for creativity and art worship.

Washi Solution: Organization or On-The-Go

Today I was deciding what washi tapes I wanted to use in my planner and how I could take them with me on-the-go.  I started looking for old packaging I could use that had a plastic feel.  I couldn't find anything, so I cut up a 12 x 12 card stock into strips that would easily fit in the pack of my planner.  I ended up making four strips and laminating them to get the plastic feel.  Having the plastic coating allows the washi to be removed easily.  


I started adding the washi!
Every couple rows I would make marks with a ruler to keep them straight.


I ended up using the last of several roles, which is fine because I plan to put away the box of washi until I need to replenish sections of the laminated card stock.


I ended up making a lot more room in the tray I use for storing washi.  


Here is the final product!  I really like them and I plan on keeping them in my small tote I use for my planner, handlettering, and bible journaling.  It pretty much just hold my go-to products such as alphas, microns, markers, glue.....and so on.  Now I have all my washi in one place, and its so compact!


I hope you enjoyed this post!  If you did please consider sharing :)  <3 

Thank you!
