I wanted to tell you about this awesome site where you can download photoshop templates. If you’re looking to print your own holiday cards this year this is a great resource. You can download any template on the site for only $6.00 and then insert your own photos.
Janice is really talented and I’m sure as the holiday approaches she’ll be adding some great templates to the site.
I wish I had more free time to make these awesome paper ornaments. They would be great to add to a package for some detail too. If you have the time you can click here for full instructions. Also check out The Paper Source for some unique paper choices.
You should too!
I’m sort of in a trance today. I think I have to much going on at the moment and with the holidays coming up I’m feeling a little overwhelmed. Sorry if it seems I’ve been neglecting the blog,I’m still here!
When I was reading Cuteable the other day I came across these definition cards from Sapling Press. They’re so pretty. I thought Sapling Press sounded familiar and realized I saw some of there products a few years ago at the Biazarre Bizarre in Cleveland. This was way before I started this blog though. I’m happy to see some new work from them and looking forward to the new web site.
I recently received an email from Anna at Sub-Studio. Sub-Studio is currently doing a fundraiser for the Shama Foundation. They are selling the above Christmas cards with 100% of the profits going towards the foundation. What an awesome thing to do this time of year. To learn more about the Shama Foundation click here. To purchase any of these cards you can visit the Sub Studio online shop.
The day after Thanksgiving we started receiving Christmas Cards. It still feels early to me. However this told me I should probably decide what cards to send out this year. I still haven’t done that but I did purchase these gift tags from the etsy shop of Petite Pear. This is a start right?
I spent about an hour on etsy trying to decide which gift tags to purchase. These were definitely my favorites so I wanted to share them with you. Petite Pear has a huge selection of gift tags for sale.
Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving.
If you sent me an email I’ll try to get to it soon. One of the emails I received over the long weekend was from from Albertine Press. Shelley wanted to tell me about her limited-edition, hand-marbled 2008 calendar. I was unfamiliar with the term hand-marbled. Here is Shelley’s explanation of the calendar “Each sheet of each calendar is an original work of art, no two alike (except in general pattern). There’s a different pattern for each month, and the month blocks are letterpress printed onto the gorgeous, luscious Pescia paper.”
Each calendar is signed and numbered.
Thanks for the email Shelley!
The holiday shop is open at port2port press. Of course everything is just gorgeous. In the shop you can find holiday cards and gift tags. Orders ship within 2 – 3 days.
Have a happy thanksgiving. I’m taking off early today and will be back on Monday!
Nicole from nic events emailed me to let me know that tomorrow (11/21) she is launching a holiday card line. The cards will be for sale on Nicole’s website and on etsy. I thought I would post these cards because they’re definitely unique. If you’re looking for a different approach to sending a special card this holiday season, you might find what you’re looking for at nic events.
I love the card regarding the office behavior. I thought it was pretty funny. Make sure to check out DearNic on etsy tomorrow. Thanks for the email Nicole!
