New African American Christmas Cards!

African American Greeting Card

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). 


"Gift for You" 2010 Ruthie's Greetings


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.

How to Print Etsy Shipping Labels on Your Munbyn Printer

  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
