Recent Happenings

Hello all!
Sorry I haven't gotten a chance to post in a while, the shop has been incredibly busy this month! I suspect it's because of the holidays quickly approaching. Working a full time job (which typically requires a lot of overtime on a weekly basis) in addition to running a part time business is challenging, but I have loved every second of it. I am astounded by the positive feedback I have received, by the amount of support people have shown me, and by the amount of growth that the shop has had over the last couple of months. What an amazing journey this has been, and it's still just getting started!

I am seriously blown away with the amount of orders and requests I have received this month, and it's not even halfway through November. Because of the many requests I have been getting, I have a lot of new items up in the shop, so please make sure to take a peek at the new designs. I have been working quickly to get both SVG and silhouette studio files up, but it has been so busy, I have only had time to do mostly one or the other (so if you see a design you like, but it's not in the right format, just shoot me a convo and I'll get a listing up for you).

Speaking of this, I can't believe how much I have learned from selling these files on Etsy. Thanks to a customer I had a few days ago, I discovered a way to convert the SVGs to be able to be imported into the Silhouette Studio program. It blew my mind and is going to be a great asset to my business, as it will save me a ton of time trying to draw out each design in both Adobe Illustrator and the Silhouette Studio. If you'd like to learn about how to convert and Adobe Illustrator file into a compatible Silhouette Studio file without purchasing the $60 Adobe Illustrator plug-in,  please contact me! I'd love to start doing "how-to" posts to help other crafters gain more knowledge about these programs, so any questions about programs, designing, converting, etc. please please please let me know!

Fall Favorites

Happy Friday! It's certainly been a busy week for Coral Charm Boutique! There have been many requests for new designs coming in, and I couldn't be happier! Unfortunately busy week means very little time to write blog posts, but I wanted to get a post up for you all today featuring some of the fall favorites in the shop!


First, I want to feature some of my new pumpkin chevron designs! I have a plain chevron pumpkin file (available in both SVG and for Silhouette Studio) and a monogram chevron pumpkin design (also available in both SVG and for Silhouette Studio). Either can be paired with any of the monogram fonts in the shop!


I also added this week two new mason jar designs! These were already available for Silhouette Machines, but now they are available in a SVG format as well! The jar on the left is also included in the fall collection that I posted about a few days ago.

Finally, I put up a new design a few days ago that has been received very well by my customers! It's a chevron circular frame that has a space for a monogram. This would also work perfectly with any of the monogram font files that I sell in my shop. Right now, this design is only up as a SVG file, but I will most likely be listing the silhouette file soon! AND I got so many requests for this design as a decal that I also ended up putting up a listing for the decal, which you can find here


So there you have it! I hope you enjoyed seeing some of the new designs in the shop. Be sure to check back regularly for updates, flash sales, giveaways and more!

New monogram designs!

I have been working hard to get some new monogram designs up in the shop and I am excited to share them with you! I got a custom request yesterday from a fellow Etsy shop for some single monogram SVG files, and they turned out great (see below)! I only have 8 letters done as of right now, but I will be working on the entire alphabet over the next few days so they will be available to everyone soon!


Here's an image I received this morning from the buyer with the design cut out an on a product:


I will hopefully be getting more images of this, so check back later for more examples of my designs in action! And if you're interested in getting your own design made for your cutting machine/embroidery machine, start a custom request form on my Etsy page!


I have had many requests for curly script monograms lately, so I'm finally happy to be able to announce that I have also put up some new listings this weekend for more single curly monogram files! I also managed to get the single script monograms up as SVG files, Silhouette .studio files, and JPEG files yesterday, so those are now available!

          

I am working on getting some script monograms for 3-part monograms soon, so make sure you check back frequently for more designs!

Fall is here!

I don't know about you guys, but fall is definitely my favorite time of the year! I just love to watch the leaves change colors, the smell of campfires in the air, and [[of course!!]] pumpkin everything! When I lived in Boone, NC, fall was nothing short of amazing, especially with the Blue Ridge Parkway just 10 minutes away. Seriously--if you haven't been, put it on your bucket list, you won't regret it!


I had a few requests to put up some fall themed designs for the silhouette machine in the shop, so those are now available! There are a couple of fall designs, including Fall Graphics and Fall Word Graphics,
 


Also, as of last night there are some Halloween Themed Graphics, because I got some requests for those as well! Right now, most of these designs are grouped together in a set, but if you see one you like that you would like to purchase individually, don't hesitate to contact me to put up a listing of a single design (this goes for any graphic I sell).


Right now, the graphics featured in this post are only available for Silhouette machines, but if I get requests to make them SVG files, then I will add another listing of those.


If you're stumped as to what you could use these graphics for, I've seen some great ideas for DIY fall and halloween decorations on Pinterest. Lately, I've really favored the vinyl designs on light blocks, I have seen some really creative ideas with them! If you don't know what I'm talking about, check out the images below:



You could also use these designs for cards or scrapbooking [[and anything else of course!]], but these are so fun and creative I just had to share this idea! I hope you all enjoy these designs! Feel free to send me pictures if you designs something fun with my files, I always love to see what people do with them and I'd love to be able to feature your craft on my blog!
