Call me a child of the 80's, but stickers really turn my crank! I still have a lot of my stickers from my childhood collection. I have been wanting to design something for myself for ages but never got around to it- until now. Vista print has these awesome deals and even though I would like a circle sticker eventually, I was happy with the option of uploading a design to a label sticker shape. I love it! I can use it to stick closed all kinds of packages and envelopes, how exiting. I was also trying to come up with a nice business card design, which you can also upload or choose one of their templates.
That is why this sweet gift from Neves was so perfect. It's a little business card holder with images by Marta Torrao on it. I just got some cards for work which I am beamingly proud of, even though I do not have much cause to give them out. Somehow having them means I am someone!
I was amazed to run across a strip of stickers that I bought in the early 80's. Still intact, still in great shape. I can't remember the name of the company, but I loooved their stickers! I was probably too old for them, but I'm thinking I was about 16 or so (~1981) when I discovered this little shop that sold stickers by the strip/inch.
So, I'm right there with you, loving the stickers. I have round sheets and starburst sheets and if my otherwise decent printer also produced waterproof/resistant pages, I would be in sticker geek heaven.
That little business card case is adorable! I'm going to have to see if I can make one.

Love the stickers and the card holder. It reminds me I still need the perfect wallet, bag/purse/tote, and card holder for myself. Why is it so hard to make for yourself what you are already doing for other? I don't get me. I'm looking for a magazine to cut up right now!

how did you like vista print? i've been wondering about that... your stickers, by the way, look fantastic! Brynne has just recently become obsessed with stickers, and she's very ocd about it - placing all the same stickers in a row together on one page! Hate to say it, but I think she gets that from me...

Hello. I made the leap to your blog from mav @ port2port. I used to love those sticker by the yard stores too. For blank circle stickers in yummy colors, check out Paper Source: https://www.paper-source.com/cgi-bin/paper/results/results.html
They also come in 5". You can rubber stamp on them or, if you are more technically capable than I am, figure out how to print on them from your computer (maybe in a long stip)....
