Lovely Dancers

Here are a few shots of Squid Dance, the new Popote card up at our shop!

Junia and I have been wanting to come up with another squid design ever since we completed our very first card, Squidigree. We wanted to come up with a design that could be used for any occasion. We had "wedding card" in mind but also had "happy birthday". As you can see (from these lovely photos we took in our back-slash-front yard) we decided to use the mint on copper color combo as a happy birthday card while the other more neutral color combo, was going to be left as a blank card.

Vamanos Popote!

Clamshell iBook

I know I know I know, those pictures we have on our Etsy shop are a bit cheesy. You might be surprised to know that we don't actually know those people we have in these product photos. 

But here's the real deal! We covered an Apple iBook with our Clamshell decal. The process was quite easy and only took a few mins. I love vinyl because you can chop it up and piece it back together with out really noticing. It bends and won't lift unless you really pick at it. A few days after we put the decal on, we happened to be at a local coffee shop here in our neighborhood and definitely got some looks! We've got more home decal designs coming soon!

And remember, if you buy one of our decals, we always send you a tester so you can test it out on your surface and make sure everything will be OK. 

Happy Birthday Mariachi!

Hola friends. We just put up our new birthday card on the etsy shop.

"Bring the banda to the next birthday party with this chiquito Mariachi! This birthday card is a modern throw-back to birthday traditions and no matter who you are or what culture you love, this card will put a smile on that birthday friend's face!"

Junia and I were inspired by our last trip to Chula Vista to visit our families. My dad's uncle was having a surprise 90th birthday party in Imperial Beach and we got to have some fun with a mariachi band that performed. I grew up going to weddings and quinceneras in Tijuana and SD and no matter how much I pretended to hate Mariachi music when I was a kid, there's was no denying the pure fun and tradition that the band brings to family events. Here's some pics we took at the party with our trusty Diana cam!
