Hello, lovely people! 💚
I am absolutely buzzing to welcome you all to the very first blog post on the brand new Free Spirit Printables website! If you’ve been following my journey on social media, you know that the workshop has been a place of pure, chaotic creative magic lately. If you’re new here—welcome to the family! Grab a cuppa, get comfy, and let me fill you in on what’s been happening behind the scenes. ☕🌈💎
The Kitty Army Has Official Landed 🐈🐾
If you love cats and books, you are in the right place. The 3D printers have been running non-stop lately cooking up a literal army of long kitties! We started out with classic grey tabbies, moved on to gorgeous orange and black patched calicos, and they have officially been finished as the cutest bookmarks you've ever seen.
They even come complete with a little ball chain and a bright orange fish charm that hangs over the spine of your book while you read! Keep your eyes peeled on the shop, because these little cuties are ready to guard your pages. 📚🐟
Meet the Newest Member of the Workshop: The xTool F1! ⚡️📦
The biggest news around here is that after a lot of impatient waiting by the window for the DPD driver, my brand new mystery machine finally arrived—the xTool F1!
This thing is a total game-changer. It’s an ultra-fast, portable laser that lets me engrave materials like wood, leather, and metal at lightning speed. I’ve already done a few test runs on sample pieces, and watching that laser beam move is completely mesmerizing.
What does this mean for the shop? It means we are officially launching personalized engraved jewellery! I’ve been working on incredibly special, deeply meaningful memorial fingerprint necklaces on stainless steel. Being able to create keepsakes that hold that much sentimental value is exactly why I love doing what I do every single day, and I can't wait to make these for you. 🤍🕊️
New Colouring Books to Obsess Over 🎨🌶️
For my fellow bookish romantics and comedy lovers, the design desk has been busy! Two massive new releases have just hit the store:
-
The Off-Campus Inspired Colouring Book: Get your coloured pencils ready, because Briar University has officially entered the chat! Inspired by the ultimate hockey romance series, this book is packed with your favourite boys and dating drama. 🏒📚
-
Benidorm Colouring Book Part Two: By popular demand, we are heading back to the Solana Hotel! Part two is officially live in the store, packed with brand new, hilarious line-art designs of Madge, Mateo, and the Garvey family. It’s the ultimate tribute to the funniest show on British telly! 🍹🌴☀️
Thank You for Being Here 💚
Whether you are here for the 3D-printed cats, the spicy bookish merch, the comedy laughs, or a deeply personal piece of memorial jewellery, thank you from the bottom of my heart. As a solo mum running this business all on my own, every single view, click, and order means the absolute world to my little family.
Its all about always pursuing new creative adventures, and I am so incredibly excited to have you along for the ride.
Have a look around the new site, tell me what you think, and let me know in the comments below—what should I test out next on the new laser? 👇🛠️✨
All my love,
Sammie 💚
