Now Open: Paperie + Gifts Shop

A little over a year ago I decided to take my career in to my own hands in order to live a life on my own terms. I am on a personal journey of building a simple, authentic and creative life.

From my dream this blog was born. It is a place where we can gather and encourage each other to lead the lives we envision. Each of us has a story to tell and I am passionate about empowering people to love themselves, their unique journey, and the beautiful life they live.

Through the blog I’ve found a new love for graphic design and creating daily use printables for all to enjoy. Which brings us to, drum roll please…the Eight Pepperberries Paperie + Gifts shop opening. The shop focuses on celebrating the simple, beautiful things in life.

I have grand plans to expand the shop, but at the moment the shop specializes in instant digital downloads for printable art prints. Whether it be an inspirational quote, music lyric, or fun pattern – you’ll find it here. These cheerful prints look great framed in your home. I’m loving these gold frames, so chic!

What exactly are printable art prints?

Basically it’s the digital version of the art print I design in Adobe Illustrator. This means that you’ll receive the PDF and JPG files of the exact file on my computer. Here’s the fun part – no need to wait around for the mail man to deliver your print! After you’ve downloaded your new art print choose your paper and print at home. So easy a caveman can do it, but you may need help tweaking your printer settings, I go in depth in this blog post. You also have the option to send your file to a professional or local print shop.

Why buy a digital art print?

Convenience is probably the number one reason you’ll want to buy a digital art print. No need to drive to multiple stores to find a print and no need to wait days for delivery. Yay! You can buy your art print and print at your own convenience – I’m all about making life easier not harder.

I’m also all about finding a great deal and with digital art prints you’ll get a luxury print at a budget friendly price. You’ll typically spend less than $10 on your digital print (including paper + ink) depending on your art print and paper choice.

How to buy a printable art print

The Eight Pepperberries Paperie + Gifts is hosted on Etsy meaning you’ll have to make your purchase through the Etsy website (click here to go to the Etsy shop). After making your purchase on Etsy you will receive an email with a link to download your files (within minutes). Just click on the link and follow the download instructions.

You can also access your art print files by logging in to your Etsy account. In the top right hand corner you will see your profile. Click the drop down menu so that you can see and select ‘Purchases and Reviews’. Then you will see a blue box on the right hand side that says ‘download files’.

Let’s fill our homes with beauty and joy friends. I’d love for you to come by to check out the new shop, grab a few prints (they make great gifts) and let me know what you think! If you have a special quote or lyric, please share with me in the comments below – I’m always on the look out for inspiration!
