How to Print Etsy Shipping Labels on Your Munbyn Printer

Image
  Hi everyone! It's been a long time! Recently, I purchased the Munbyn thermal printer (ITPP941 model) to create my Etsy shipping labels,  and it was a challenge in the beginning! I wasted a lot of labels because I didn't know what I was doing (lol). After watching Munbyn's videos and playing around with my settings, I figured it out. So I decided to provide the steps for how I set up my Munbyn thermal printer to print my 4x6 in. Etsy shipping labels: Steps 1 & 2: Set up and calibrate your Munbyn thermal printer: In the beginning, I made the mistake of thinking that when I placed the labels in the thermal printer and closed the door, the machine automatically calibrated. I thought this because when you close the door, the machine advances approx 3 labels, but this doesn't mean it's calibrated.  In the video by Munbyn, you can see the woman holding down the button at the top of the printer to calibrate the machine.  Step 3: Change your Etsy shipping settings (on

(NEW) Printed "Bike Birthday" Card

Image
  "Bike Birthday" Card Happy Saturday everyone!  In case  you missed it.... I've added some new printed cards to my Etsy shop some of which include the "Bike Birthday" cards. The design features one of my digitally drawn designs of a girl on a bike. I really love the color scheme of pink, hot pink, yellow, and purple. I also chose to do one of the designs with a light skin tone and one with a darker skin tone to give you more options. The birthday card (4.25x 5.5 in) is great to give your little girl or teenager for her birthday. The inside is blank so that you can write your special message. The "Bike Birthday" cards are offered in sets of 2 and 4-card packs on Etsy.  "Bike Birthday" card  Please visit the Ruthie's Greetings Etsy shop for more information about the "Bike Birthday" cards!

New Handmade Doctor Birthday Card!

Image
  Hey everyone! I'm excited to show you all the new version of my handmade doctor birthday card called "Happy Birthday Doctor". Back in 2009, I designed a handmade birthday card for one of my customers whose girlfriend was studying to become a doctor, and I wanted to bring the design back. Doctors are some of the essential workers who are fighting on the front lines of covid-19, so I wanted to create a card that would speak to that and our appreciation for them.  My new "Happy Birthday Doctor" card features a hand-drawn cut-out of a doctor in her uniform. You can see from the picture that she has a stethoscope around her neck. Her hair is in a bun. She is standing against a beautiful floral background. Above the doctor are the words, "Happy Birthday Doctor!" The inside of the card also includes a special message for your doctor. To purchase or view more details about the card, you can visit my Etsy shop here :  My 2009 doctor birthday card - a custom

New African American Christmas Cards!

Image
Happy Tuesday everyone! This weekend, I added a couple of NEW African American Christmas greeting cards to the Ruthie's Greetings Etsy Shop. Both designs were based on past designs. The "Merry Christmas From Me" card features a cut-out of a Black woman with an Afro peaking out of a red and gold gift box. It was based on the " Gift for You " card design that I created for Valentine's Day back in 2010. I thought it would be cute to recreate the design for Christmas because sometimes you are the BEST gift in addition to Jesus (smile).  The "Merry Christmas From Us" greeting card design was based on a custom card I did back in 2013 that featured an African-American couple. After seeing the card, one of my customers wanted a custom version of the card, so I created glasses for the woman on the card. I also gave her locs instead of an Afro. You can check out my new Christmas cards in my Etsy shop !
