Mark Montano: Cardboard Gingerbread House Ornaments




I recently came across this great blog by Mark Montano to make our ornaments this year.  I had been looking for ideas, and this was perfect.

I've uploaded it to Gumroad to download for free or pay-what-you-want.  The cut file is either an SVG or 2 JPGs to cut in the program of your choice.

The Gemini Gypsy Parlor - Murder of Crows Tarot Wrap


So excited to find one of my Spoonflower fabric patterns in use.  This design has been purchased a number of times by the Etsy Distribution of Spoonflower, so I was curious to see what was being made.  I found a review by The Gemini Gypsy Parlor by Char and found these amazing wraps and zipper bags in her store.  So pleased to see my artwork used in such a beautiful way.  Her shop is full of gorgeous prints, and she said she will be restocking my design.

Follow her on Etsy and Instagram, and please, let her know if you would like to buy a zipper makeup pouch or a tarot deck wrap in my design!
