Christmas Greetings

Despite a huge trend towards E-Cards and the use of digital media to convey Christmas Greetings and Cheer, My Christmas Cards have done really well.



I set out with just two designs in the collection.  Both lean heavily towards Typography.  I have truly had such immense fun with Typography, it shows in the work.

The two cards are square and printed on luxury hammered finish 350gsm cardstock and a linen finish
Going for the heavier card stock, though a lot dearer has been worth it.  The finish is exquisite.

The typography is all hand lettered within a layered design

"SANTA CLAUSE IS COMING ...."

Pack of 12 a fun design with reindeer's prancing around, layered with Hand letters words.



"TIS THE SEASON TO BE ...."

Pack of 12



A new collection of Birthday and occasional cards will be out in January so watch this space.

I have just a few more left in the Christmas collection, so pop over to AMAZON and check it out.

Farming


A +Spoonflower  Competition.
The Brief - FARMING -

so my design incorporates sheep, chatting each other up at the fence, with a backdrop of a selection of fresh fruit and veg.  This is what I imagine sheep do all day in the fields, I would if I were a sheep.

The design can be re sized to create a duvet and long drop curtain.  the sheep at the fence forming a border at the bottom and the vegetation etc as the background for the rest of the duvet/curtain.

Contact me if you would like it re sized, or re worked.
