Katy Clemmans for Keka Case..

Im super pleased today to announce the launch of my designs on iPad and Kindle cases, in collaboration with Keka Case. 10 of my designs are available, although currently shipping only within North America. The cases are printed with eco-friendly inks, and are water resistant - a great way to brighten up your tablet. Check out the site for more information here.

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!

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!

Blog Hop!

2pm (GMT) today sees around 50 talented surface pattern designers from all over the world participating in a fantastic bloghop. A celebration of pattern design, the theme is 'Let's Fly' and each designer will be showcasing a mini collection created especially for the event. The designs will all use Pantone's colour of the year for 2013, Emerald.

To begin the bloghop, hop on over to Pattern Addict's blog here.

The bloghop runs until Sunday 13th January.

Spots & Stripes...

I finally found time to enter the latest Tigerprint contest - this time themed 'Spots & Stripes'. Due to my over-use of washi tape this Christmas my design is based on layers of the colourful tape in key 2014 colours. Here I've created a couple of mock ups of how the pattern could be applied to products. What do you think?
