Lavender Loves Tiny Bee Cards! & Giveaway

I love Tiny Bee Cards. It's such a funky shop and the cards are really great.

I like the bright colors and the fun texts, especially the puns are fabulous and I admire the playfulness with words.

There are cards for every occasion and if you purchase from this shop you have something unique and different to send.

I like the simple and cute drawings and actually found Tiny Bee Cards while looking for something kawaii.

I've asked the owner of the shop, Alexis, a few questions, so you can find out more about her and her fabulous cards.

How do you make these cards?

I create the illustrations with Adobe Illustrator, and I try to simplify a concept down to its most basic shapes. It’s similar to the process of logo design, and as a graphic designer this process is a fun puzzle for me.

 What inspires you?

I love making greeting cards because I love that they’re making someone smile somewhere. Getting a special card is such a delight, so I'm so happy if I can create that for others! I create cards especially for the chance to brighten someone's day.
Another thing that inspires me is the English language. A lot of my cards and prints are based on puns, so throughout the day naturally I read and hear a lot of words, so that often inspires a new card. Plus, ever since I’ve started my shop, people are often coming up with cool ideas and suggesting them to me, which is fun for me.
I also love animals so they are constantly inspiring new card ideas as well, and they are fun to draw.

How did your Etsy adventure start?

 I started TinyBeeCards almost a year ago, and it started with one card that I designed to give to my husband on Valentine's day. It was the ‘significant otter’ one. He loved it, and he suggested that I start an Etsy shop just for cards in a similar style. So I did! 

What are your plans for the future?

 
I plan to keep creating, experimenting, and working on my shop. It’s so rewarding and I feel so lucky being able to draw things all day, so I plan to keep it up. 

Is there a fun fact you could share with my readers?

I couldn’t do it without the help of my two cats, who provide constant support, quality control, and some constructive criticism.

Alexis also makes beautiful art, you can find it here.

I like the idea of putting a smile on someone's face which is why I find these cards so attractive.

Alexis has a beautiful website where you can find out more information about her and her designs.

Besides postcards you can also find a few adorable magnets in the shop.

One lucky reader of my blog will receive a wonderful prize.

Alexis will send three postcards of choice to the person who wins this giveaway. Good luck!
