Breaking News!! (picture heavy)

Ha ha, did the title "Breaking News" capture your attention?  Well this is VERY big news in my little world!  I've been "contemplating" opening an Etsy shop for going on almost 2 years now (yes, you read that right, now how's THAT for procrastination lol!), and I've finally gotten off my keister and done it!  My first 2 listings are for 2 different butterfly themed card collections with envelopes, along with a gift bag that everything will come in.  I used a Club Scrap kit collection called Papillon to create these cards.  The papers in this kit are breathtaking and made it easy to make a beautiful finished product!  Now onto the pictures.  The first card collection contains the 3 cards below:
 

This is the bag I made to hold the cards and envelopes.

 A close up of the tag.  The butterfly key is from the Papillon kit.

Next, the cards included in the first collection, and some close up shots.  Papertrey Ink lovers will notice that many of the stamps and dies I used are from there.

And next, collection 2.

The bag for collection 2.

Individual cards in collection 2 and some close up shots.

And finally, here is a picture of the Kraft envelope, each one is stamped with a butterfly image, and of course each card comes with an envelope.  The cards are all blank on the inside, and I lined it with a piece of white card stock so that a personal note may be written to the recipient.

I found it very easy to set up an Etsy shop, did "most" of it by myself (although I did have to ask my hubby a few questions), so all of you computer challenged folks out there who might be thinking of opening a shop, take heart, if I can do it anyone can!  I want to thank Karen Baker for helping me out with my Etsy shop banner too.  Karen did the header for my blog, and I used her design for my Etsy shop.

I hope that having the shop open inspires me to start creating more often, I've been a bit lazy lately.  If anyone has any tips for me about selling on Etsy, please let me know!

Thanks for stopping by today, and sharing my excitement :)
