#2 Gracie Abrams, scrapbooking sessions, phone cases!
yay!
Good morning my loves! A bunch of updates so I’ll jump right in with it.
1. Last week my DMs were flooded with screenshots of Gracie Abrams using my stickers on her journals 🥺
A few of you asked what sticker sheet she has- it’s the JUMBO sticker sheet (the most underrated stickers tbh, she has great taste):
I messaged Gracie to say thank you for sharing- obviously I won’t divulge the whole conversation but this one message from her was just so sweet:
Whenever a big artist or Hollywood actress orders from me (Halsey, Emma Roberts etc !! ) I’m just touched to know that they love small businesses and crafty things like you and me.
It’s really sweet imagining anyone scrapbooks or decorates their journals with something I created, so thank you- no matter who you are!
Scrapbooking sessions!
I recently hosted my first group scrapbooking session (Tiktok recap here) at Ace Hotel and it was a big success!!
Everyone came away looking happy, with some kind of crafty creation or even a new friend, which is the best feeling. I wanted everyone to feel cosy and comfortable. It’s all about enjoying your time creating something with others, just because.
Save the date! Future scrapbooking/crafty events:
- Brisbane- Workshop with Stash World- Late August/early Sept (tbc)
- Melbourne- Workshop with Pinky’s- early October (tbc)
- Sydney- Ace Hotel- October 29 - a big relaxed, fun gathering of all the crafty girlies aka my BOOK LAUNCH EVENT
- New York City- Workshop with Reccreate Collective- November 3
- New York City- a very exciting BOOK LAUNCH EVENT for the U.S crafters- early November (tbc)
People asked what materials we used, here’s a little run down of our sponsors!
SCISSORS- Fiskars- provided every attendee with the best quality scissors and paper cutting tools (like, number #1 in the world I believe)GLUE- Beacons Zip Dry glue-perfect for paper craft and sticking materials securely to your journal without getting messy or seeping through the pages.
STICKERS- StickerApp & Martina’s Tiny Store (duh).
FLOWERS- Studio Alyssum kindly donated a few bunches of their beautiful everlasting blooms for my workshops, which tied the whole thing together so, so beautifully!
If you have any sponsor, partner or venue suggestions, send them my way info@martinacalvi.com
3. Phone cases!!!
EEEEEEEEEE finally!
Natasha Ahmed (who many of you already follow and love, she is literally queen of Pinterest) and I collaborated to bring you the cutest crafty girl, Pinterest vibe phonecase, inspired by our collaborative ‘Girlhood’ stickersheet (which I’ll be restocking soon, I promise).
We included a bunch of different motifs and icons which we felt represented our experience of girlhood: matcha dates, taking lots of photos, scrapbooking, wearing a cute outfit, going to the flower market etc. etc.
I hope you just adore it, I’m so excited to see people’s photos using it.
Purchase via Natasha’s website (we split the profits so you will be supporting us equally, thank you so much!)
She ships from the UK which means my UK pals get quick n speedy shipping.
Thank you for reading!! Lots of love always, Martina xxx
