2014 calendar sneak peek!

I've just completed the design on my 2014 A3 wall calendar and it will be back from the printers very soon - this will be strictly limited edition and will soon be for sale in my Etsy store, here! 

Each month is illustrated on a different theme and contains loads of fun patterns and artwork.

The Facebook hop is here!

The Etsy Digital Designers Facebook hop is here!

Throughout the month of June why not help yourself to a whole host of downloadable art FOR FREE by simply 'hopping' through the designer's Facebook pages. 'Liking' the pages will unlock the free downloads, including clip art and digital papers, all designed in a bright and cheerful summery palette. 

Look out for the Facebook Hop logo in the page tabs to get your hands on the art.. You can start with my very own page here - all others will be going live around the world today so if you come to a break in the chain please call back later, you have until the end of june to work through them all!

All of the designers are Etsy sellers specialising in digital artwork so why not bookmark their shops for future use as you hop through their pages.

Facebook Hop..

I'm excited to be a part of the upcoming 'Summer Vacation' Facebook Hop on June 5th 2013! A whole bunch of talented designers will be participating in the hop, which offers oodles of freebie clip art giveaways to people who 'like' their Facebook pages. The idea is to follow the chain which directs you from one Facebook page to the next - so you get to discover lots of designers who all sell their clip art, and digital paper designs on Etsy.

I'm fairly new to the group so I'm looking forward to hopping through the Facebook trail myself to see what everyone is offering!

All of the freebies are on a 'Summer Vacation' theme and have been designed using a set palette, it will be really interesting to see how each designer puts their own spin on things.

The hop doesn't go live until 5th June so in the meantime if you are eager to see more of what I currently have to offer in my 'KCPrintables' Etsy store, click here. I'm adding more designs all the time!

Peppermint labels - digital, downloadable, printable clip art.

I'm pleased to announce I have my first clip art files for sale in my KCPrintables Etsy shop! The downloadable, digital files consist of 8 super 'Peppermint' labels and 4 complimenting jpeg papers. These commercial use files are perfect for craft projects, scrapbooking, card making and much much more.

The clip art labels come in EPS, PNG and JPG format, so you can enlarge or reduce them in scale, recolour, layer on other artwork or simply print as is.

Check the Peppermint Labels out in my Etsy store.

Digital, downloadable scrapbooking papers..

I've been really busy recently setting up my new Etsy shop, selling my range of digital scrapbooking papers and downloadable digital art. I have a small range on there currently but will be adding new designs every week, either with bespoke themes, such as my 'Vintage Garden' or 'Nautical Nice' items, or to build on my range of 'basics' which are packs of a single design in multiple colour ways.

The paper packs are perfect for digital scrapbook layouts, or can be printed for physical scrapbooking use (purchased files are 300dpi jpegs so top quality for printing). Packs currently for sale contain between 14 - 16 jpeg sheets each.

I will also be adding downloadable clip art for a whole host of uses - making web graphics, printable ephemera such as jar labels or paper bunting etc. I can't wait to share more in my Etsy shop very soon!

Once a file has been purchased (using PayPal) the buyer receives a link by email to instantly download the files. What could be easier!
