All you need to know about the new frames

11.08.2018 by Kristen Kiong //

Hello everyone!

We have been away from this space too Long because we got caught up in everything else (yes KEJJ is run by 4 ambitious part-timers who try to sink our hands in everything at one go).

The newest craze has been all the frames that have come in stock recently. I’ve been getting the same questions over and over again and thought I’d put the answers here for everyone to know 🙂

Where did you get the frames ?

I got them customised and shipped over with a minimum order of 600, so unless you’re willing to turn your house into a warehouse like mine, I would recommend getting them through me!

How big is it and what is it made of?

The frame is A4 so anything you’d want to float in it would be A5. It’s acrylic in the centre so that means it’s less likely to shatter! The edges are wood with a color laminate.

Can it be hung?

Yes, with 3m Velcro. There are no hooks behind this frame!

How much are you selling this for?

$18 per piece, but if you’d like to get more than 10 pieces, it’ll be $12 per piece. Shipping included. Of course if you’d like to come over and pick it up, sure!

The frame comes with a poster inside?

Well yes, just for fun I got the frame makers to put a little poster inside. But it’s relatively easy to remove for you to put your own pictures or artworks in! I’ve even managed to reuse my gludots to stick my works on. 😉

Hope this helps! 🙂

Goodbye and Hello.

Free printable alert, right HERE! This one’s a milestone print – when one door closes another one opens right? So here you could fill in your goodbyes and hellos. I’m using it for the New Year today, but have a think about what else you could use it for!

Or if you like it as is, that’s fine by me too! 🙂

As 2017 comes to a close, KEJJ is sending out thank you cards. If you haven’t replied our email about whether you’d approve of us using your address to send these cards out, please do! Meanwhile, have a very very blessed 2018 ahead. We look forward to your continued support!

Behind the scenes (Part 1): Designers’ Dilemmas

09.26.2017 by Kristen Kiong //

Yesterday evening, I was fixing back some of the frames that had fallen off the wall onto the sofa. This one in particular stood out to me – I Guess it’s all the memories associated with this image.

This, was my wedding dinner invite. I also had another design as my afternoon ceremony invite. I remember toying with different Color palettes: yellow and grey, jade green and maroon… The idea of a Peranakan themed wedding only came up when one of my bridesmaids said “I’ve always wanted to wear a kebaya.” My response? “Let’s make it happen.”

4 years ago when I started doing calligraphy, my goal was to write and design my own wedding invites. By the time it came to mine, I had probably designed more than 10  invite suites. But was it easy? Nope. Not at all.

Why?

  1. I didn’t know what I wanted! Flowers were in trend. They were gorgeous. But at the same time I wanted to do something different from the usual flowers. I wanted something specific to my then-fiancé and I, but what?
  2. I wanted everything. Since I was designing my own suite, I wanted to have a Programme card, a guest card, invite cards, a thank you card, etc. Etc. But how would I even start if I didn’t have a design? Ambitious much.
  3. Pressure. I was stressed about the fact that as a designer myself, my invites had to be the best they could be. I don’t think those were expectations others’ put on me but it was something I had taken upon myself. I remember writing my wedding verse multiple times…and then not using it. And then drawing and scanning multiple pieces, putting them together and deciding.. it’s not spectacular enough.

It was stressful then but I remember the idea came when I was least expecting it. That’s a story for another day. Bottom line though, is that everyone goes through that phase, normal brides and artists brides both.

In Part 2, I’ll talk a little more about the design steps and processes.
