Shop here for the Holidays!

Have you checked out my Facebook shop yet? If not, you really should. I make all types of greeting cards, home decor, Ornaments, Banners, and other small crafts. I started my Facebook page one year ago, right after we got married. It all started when I would hand out Christmas cards each year to all my friends and family, people just loved them! Well then came my wedding and I made my own invitations. People were going nuts, calling me, telling me they wanted to frame the invite. I had SO many compliments and people encouraging me to open up my own business. 

Well it is safe to say that in just one year I gained about 600 fans! This year I took another big step, I opened up my very own Etsy shop!! Please go check it out! I am now able to accept pay pal and credit cards for all the people that want to order but don't live around me. I will be able to ship anywhere in the US, so go ORDER some stuff ;) Also if you are interested in ordering anything, please look on my Facebook page first and tell me what you want, then I will add it to my Etsy shop so that I don't have to put everything on there, it gets pretty expensive when you have a lot of items to sell haha! 

OH! Here is the best part! I received one of the greatest compliments, and it was posted on a local facebook/craigslist site. This is what one of my customers said: "I'd just like to say I picked up two dozen ornaments from Kayla last weekend. THEY ARE BEAUTIFUL and I cannot wait to hand them out to my gf's!!! Worth every single penny and besdies, who wouldn't want the money you work so hard to earn to go into someone else's pocket. She was super sweet and easy to deal with. DO IT! Thanks again Kayla Gerard I have had a hard time keepin my mouth shut about your stuff! LOL" 

This Holiday season PLEASE shop handmade! Nothing is better than supporting local or non- local small businesses and it just means so much more! People love handmade gifts, its more personal, and just really brings happiness to one another. So go on Etsy or shop around this year!! Stop at my shop first *wink wink*

PLEASE ADD MY ETSY SHOP TO YOUR FAVORITES & "LIKE" MY FACEBOOK PAGE!!

Busy, but inspired!

So for the last week I have just been all over the place, working, making cards, went to a wedding, a bridal shower, and out to eat with co workers. During all that, I managed to come up with some new creative ideas for cards! I somehow find some inspiration in all the chaos, and I like it. I wont tell or show you all them now but here is a sneak peek of one of the cards I made...

This is a terrible picture, and I apologize for that. But do you know what this is?? 

IT IS A SCRATCH BOARD CARD! :D

You can scratch your own art and message into it with a toothpick or scrapper of some sort and you get a colorful picture! I will be coming up with more designs to this soon, so please keep an eye out for new ones!

I finally got a really nice stamp that I can use for any occasion, a wreath. I can use it for baby showers, Birthday, Valentines day, Christmas, fall, summer, winter, spring, and literally anything else! It is such a nice touch to any card. I also got this glossy accent to use on anything to give it a more dimensional look. It also just adds a little something to your card :) 

I cannot wait to show you all more items I have created or will be creating soon! 

Have a blessed day!

MY FIRST SHOP!!!

 Finally after waiting for almost a year, I set up my own shop! I know for a lot of people it's pretty easy... well not for me! I have had such a struggle trying to figure out what to charge for everything. To me, all this is new! I am new to having a shop or even selling items! So can you see my excitement!?!

Right now I don't have to many items available on there but you can still view all my cards on my Facebook page. I will be adding more soon, I just want to see how well it will go first! Here are the links if you would like to visit my shop Storenvy or even check out my Facebook page Kayla's Kreations, please "like" my Facebook page while you are there ;) Also you can find them at the top of my blog :D

So please feel free to let me know what you think, send some love and possibly buy a few items! Nothing would make my day more!! God Bless

God is my Inspiration!

I have been making a ton of different cards lately, mostly for orders but some just because, and while I was making some I just kept coming up with new ideas and new ways of doing things. It became so easy for me to just make them. Lately I have been having an inspiration block and out of NO WHERE I had the most amazing ideas!

Like this one for example, a HUGE hit! I had so many compliments! :)

Have you ever caught fireflies in a mason jar and watch them light up? I had this awesome idea for a card... instead of fireflies, I used music notes! It was like having musical inspiration bottled up and just letting it all out! I thought it would be a cute idea for a card... 

I think God is really showing me that this is what I should be doing! I haven't used any pictures or magazines to find inspiration, all if it is coming from my very own brain >.< I have been just so blown away at what I come up with and just keep saying/asking myself  "I made that? That's one of my cards?" God is SOO good!

Cards!

I know I haven't been on here in a few months but I am going to try my hardest to keep an updated page for the people that don't have Facebook. Here are a few of the cards I have created :) More to come! If you would like to see more of what I do,the link is below >.<
