New Cards

For a long time I been wanting to design a new business card, specially one that had my correct information on it. I couldn't think of a better time to do it than right now, at the beginning of a new year. My goal for this card was to make something cute and fun but a bit more professional than my previous card. I am still debating if I should make the corners rounded. What do you think? Did I achieve my goal?

Also in the back burner I am working on a fun octokitty.com layout. Right now it gets re-directed to my website. But I hope to have two distinguishable websites in the future. Probably not in the near future, but soon!

Your own little shop


We all know of Etsy and how awesome it is. Right?

But did you know of Big Cartel?


No? Neither did I until a few weeks ago.

So what is Big Cartel? Is this great service that lets you create your own online shop. It even offers a free 5 items. I am just staring to test it out so I am using the free trial. Check it out dennrodriguez.bigcartel.com. It was very easy to put together, specially since I already have an Etsy store. It even gives me the option to link back to my website. I am hoping that one day I can have my own costume store.... a girl can only dream. :)

I hope you guys enjoy this, let me know how it works out for you.

:: UPDATE ::
I recently came across another site that fit this online shop theme, Tradepal.

This site lets you sell, trade even give away and item for free. It's free to list your item and you can even add multiple images for free. At the point of sell Tradepal charges individual sellers a flat transaction fee amounting to 6% of the final transaction price. If that works for you go check it out. I also made store here... well they call it garage. Check out my garage.
