Real foil printing opens the door to customers who crave real shine and bling now being able to purchase one of a kind custom and personalized cards printed with real “sleek foil”.
It’s not hard to understand why all my weekend plans were thrown out the window when Zazzle metallic foil was announced late on Continue reading
I recently added Spoonflower to my roster of Print On Demand shops and I have been having quite a lot of fun playing with surface design and creating specialty fabrics. Spoonflower primarily sells one of a kind fabrics designed by independent artists but they also carry the same surface designs on wallpaper and wrapping paper, which is sure to make crafters happy.
While researching Spoonflower prior to opening my store, I stumbled on an Etsy Continue reading
