Etsy Spotlight: Kelp Designs
I found Kelp Designs … or rather, Kelp Designs found me … through the social network Twitter a few weeks ago. On her Twitter profile, she mentions that she is getting ready for the National Stationery Show in New York this May (she will be at booth #2070 for anyone attending!). I am always interested in learning about great artists selling on etsy, but as soon as I read about her going to the National Stationery Show I was really intrigued to see her work. She did not disappoint!
From Kelp Designs Etsy Store:
My shop caters to paper-fanatics looking for environmentally-friendly, note cards, personalized stationery, invitations and other paper products in bold colors and classic patterns. All designs are created and hand crafted by little ‘ol me, in my studio in Southern California, and printed on 100% recycled (30% PCW) paper.
I love the simplicity, modernity and beauty of Kelp Designs’ stationery products. She uses a variety of beautiful color palettes and patterns – all designed by her. She designs all of her cards, note cards, stationery, invitations and announcements on a computer (using Illustrator I’m guessing) then prints them out on beautiful cover weight card-stock. Her designs and products are gorgeous and professional quality. Many of her stationery products can also be personalized – perfect for your own personal note cards & stationery or great for a gift! She also does custom work including invitations (wedding and more) and announcements. Want another incentive? Kelp Designs prides itself on being environmentally friendly, using quality 100% recycled paper!
Check out her beautiful designs at her Etsy shop. Go to: Kelp Designs (http://www.kelpdesigns.com or http://www.KelpDesigns.etsy.com). Read her blog at: KelpDesigns.blogspot.com and follow her on Twitter! (http://twitter.com/kelpdesigns)

Thanks for creating with us!
