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.

Kids Valentine's Day Card

Image
"My Little Valentine " (Pink & blue) edition This card was created for a mom's 8 year old son, to give to his friend. Valentine's Day cards are usually very serious, in that they target adults and highlight love. Traditional Valentine's Day cards are usually pink/ and or red. But I needed the card to represent the innocent love between children, So, I decided to make the card pink and blue to trace back to babies when they are born. Many of us dress them in blue if it is a boy, and pink if it is a girl. Here, I decided to stage two children playing ball. The little bugs give it more of a "kid feel". I think the heart in the middle capitalizes on the fact that this is a Valentine's Day card. My customer loved the fact that this card was personalized and a non-tradtional Valentine's Day card. You can order this card and other Valentine's Day cards on http://www.ruthiesgreetings.com/ !
