mixed plate’s new shop.

hi there! so one of the projects i’ve been working on over the last couple of months has been a really fun one. it’s something that has been on my mind for quite some time now. if you really wanna get technical this stuff has been on my mind since the 90′s. i’ve opened up a shop of rubber stamps that i designed based on my love of music from back in the day. check it…

you know you totally need these, right? all of the stamps are designed by me and made to order in the usa. they’re all inspired by hip-hop and r&b song titles, lyrics and other things related to those genres. primarily i am focused on the 90′s. however, i’m thinking that i may dip back to the 80′s and then closer to the early 2000′s. these are great for cards, gift tags, creating your own custom wrapping paper, scrapbooking, and really just any other surface that you feel could use some awesomeness. they make great gifts or a fun treat for yourself. i hope you love the stamps as much as i do!

come over and visit the shop.

ps – get 15% off with code “GRANDOPEN15” in the shop. the code is also offered on my facebook page. be a fan and share this with your friends. coupon code is good through monday, june 10, 2013 {expires at 12:00et}.

custom return address stamps.

do you have return address stickers/labels that you use on your mail? i remember always printing them up for my family when i was a kid {avery labels to the rescue!}. or we would always get them ordered by the roll and they’d arrive in our mailbox {weren’t there always coupons in the sunday papers for them?}. because i’m a big believer in handwritten notes, i am obsessed with custom return address stamps. i don’t have one and have been thinking about it but get stuck because there are so many great artists who offer this product. i’m currently loving these by native bear

team art.

one of my favorite shows for the past few years has been parks and recreation. do you watch? if not you really, really should. really. it makes me happy to see anything parks and rec related, especially these coloring books by toronto based art and design collective, team art. some of my best friends are lovers of the series as well and i’m thinking that this should be gifted to them in the near future…

and they also make these gems…

and then there’s…

team art hunky dudes coloring book

team art mad men coloring book

but i also really love funny ladies and funny guys. so…maybe selecting one as a gift is too difficult.

what’s your favorite coloring book?

love you forever.

happy thursday to you! you ever get that feeling when you meet someone that you just know you’re going to be friends forever? and then there’s that moment when you realize how important someone is to you and how much you love them and that you are so sure you will love them forever…

i told a best friend this last night. well, i wrote it in a sappy card {it’s what i do – my close friends know what i’m talking about} and then proceeded to say that i’ll always love them. true story.

i’m such a believer in telling people nice things and how you feel about them. i think it’s important. plus, you’ll probably make someone’s day by doing so because who doesn’t want to hear how much you mean to them?

magic 8-ball wisdom.

hey there! so i’m slowly getting back to mixed plate after a short break. i’ve been sick off and on for a few weeks and have still been going to the day job, keeping dates with friends, and even attended a class {all things that were scheduled before i started feeling icky}. while i’m still on the mend, i thought these magic card affirmations by maddy nye were just the thing i needed…

mini jungle.

just spotted this cardboard cut out animal set by milimbo. this small company, based in spain, draws inspiration for their artwork from stories such as “little red riding hood”, “hansel and gretel” and “the three bears”. i love tall of their products, but fell for their mini jungle…
