If you’re one to spend hours on the computer tweaking the look of your blog; designing invitations, business cards or brochures; or just generally playing at making things pretty, I have good news for you!

Creative Market opened its doors today. This is an online marketplace for “handcrafted, mouse-made design content,” made by independent, creative folks all over the world. Think of it as Etsy for your desktop.

Here are eight of my favourite designs. What are yours?

Vintage photo effects

Watercolour social media icons

1910-1949 sewing pattern dingbats (& the numbers are children!)

Adorable mustachioed egg

Vintage kitchen elements

Photoshop brushes in mustaches and lips

Retro business card template (imagine this in letterpress)

Font inspired by vintage Russian posters

More content will be added all the time so keep checking back. And if you are pretty nifty with a mouse yourself, you can always open your own shop in the Creative Market. Go here.
