Item: Jingle Bells Holiday Cards
Seller: fionadesigns

I heard about Etsy seller Fiona Rohde, from the delightfully cute fionadesigns, via an Etsy shop submission.

I was browsing through her great holiday card selection, but kept coming across awesome “other-occasion” cards like thank yous, congrats, and birthday cards!  This “Jingle Bells” card is my favorite holiday card and is selling for $3.75.

“I adore designing stationery and greeting cards,” Fiona told me.  “I have a love of nature and have a background in the Fine Arts. I also enjoy taking photographs, knitting and painting.”

When she is not crafting, Fiona told me she loves walking her dogs, being outdoors, and she loves spending time in nature.  She also likes to spend time with her family.

Where does Fiona shop when she browses Etsy.com?

“So many as there are so many talented artisans on Etsy,” she said.  Here are some that she admires:

http://www.etsy.com/shop/Raceytay

http://www.etsy.com/shop/MaiAutumn

http://www.etsy.com/shop/lapisbeach

Wow – these shops are really great places to visit on Etsy.com!  In particular, I liked a lot of items at ArtLab.  Thanks for the recommendation, Fiona!

Fiona tells sellers they should re-list their items often and take great photographs.  “Oh and join Etsy teams,” she adds.

What’s coming up for fionadesigns?  “I want to continue to build my brand and my shop and expand the line to include custom stationery products,” she says.  I will be checking back to see these new items in her shop!

If you think Fiona’s handmade cards rock, be sure to let her know!  You can find Fiona online on Facebook, her blog, Tumblr, and on Twitter @fionasdesign.
