Valentine’s day is not too far away. I designed this cheerful heart-shaped gift tag with love birds especially for those looking for a cute gift tag design. It’s a really cute way of asking that loved one to ‘Be my Valentine’
The polka dot tag is heart-shaped with a scalloped edge. The edges are hand inked to give a vintage effect. The two little lovebirds sit on an inner heart, which is raised slightly from the bigger heart back. They are sharing a little kiss with floating hearts! awww! The back of the tag is left blank for your message. The tag is finished with a hot pink ribbon.

Well I’ve finally made my foray into selling some of my handmade items on etsy.com. Yay me! It’s a little bit daunting being a new Etsy seller, there is sooooo much to learn. But luckily the guys over at Etsy have a great forum and very helpful articles about how to run my store. I am only starting to stock it with items in the last few weeks. So I’ll be all out busy designing and making new products for the month of January and February to fill my new store!
I will mainly be focusing on candy bar & dessert table signage and wedding stationery for now. Do drop by!
One of the recent additions is this purple and cream textured jar label. Great for weddings and party candy bars, buffets and dessert tables. Text can be customised to whatever you need! Click on the image to go to the store.

I bought the Symmetryworks plugin for Illustrator from Artlandia 2 weeks ago to try and speed up my original pattern designs.
Creating seamless pattern designs in Illustrator and Photoshop can be done without any additional plug ins without a problem but they can take time to do and very complicated patterns can cause the less experienced user some difficulty.
I haven’t totally figured the Artlandia software out. I have lots to learn. There is an extensive user manual that comes with it and I’m more of a try it and see type of gal ha ha! So that is on the to-do list.
Here are a few examples of products I have designed with patterns created in the software.
This little cupcake bakery business card has a repeating seamless pattern with a pink polka dot and white dotty outer border and a blue dot with a white border around. It also has a cupcake with pink frosting alternating direction in the pattern. this was created in Illustrator using the Symmetryworks software in about 20 seconds.
I am then able to change the colours as usual in Illustrator to get design variations.
This repeating rose pattern on this girly IPAD case was again created in a very short time. the original motif is very simple and hand drawn in Illustrator using my Graphics tablet and then I used the Symmetry works program to create the pattern.
This Ipad Girly Floral IPad case is using the same motif from above but a different pattern arrangement. The Plugin has several pre-programmed pattern arrangements that you can play around with, plus you have a little control window to mess with to give you even more options.
This design of this complicated ornate design was created in the software. this took a little longer to design but no more than a few minutes.
This cute Heart and Stars IPhone 4 case has little hearts alternating in direction. Very quick and easy pattern to make.
This white IPhone 4 case with gold vintage crowns pattern was made using Symmetry works also. Great little program!
