'I parked in Southwold'

'I parked in Southwold' bumper sticker

Ok so I haven't actually parked in Southwold (because I can't drive)... instead I had a really busy day yesterday creating various samples: car window stickers, bumper stickers and leather bookmarks; all to be produced as stock for selling at the TIC. 
I've been asked so many times "Do you sell the 'I parked in Southwold' bumper stickers?" (Southwold is notoriously difficult to find a parking space especially during the summer season); or "Do you sell leather bookmarks" (I've discovered many people collect these from all over); that I decided to create our own stock as I was unable to source these items elsewhere.
All items were created using my trusty Serif DrawPlus X5. The stickers all use CMYK colours and although I have shown the bookmarks in colour here, the actual bookmark designs are created black on a white background as these will be foil blocked in silver on dark blue bonded leather.

I also spent quite a bit of time sourcing where to get the items printed, the best value for printing in various quantities (which also provide the most profit); and also the various specifications that different printers require for submitting work. 

Samples for leather bookmarks

It was definitely not a five minute job - it took me the best part of all day, but I feel I was very productive. I can't wait now to place the orders and see the final items on display and available for sale!!
