What better way to say Congratulations than with an elegant greeting card?

Today’s card features a beautiful, elegant pattern by Camxso from his 2009 Christmas collection.

Today’s card features an Egyptian theme: hieroglyphics, cranes and decorative trim. I really like the way it turned out!

I finally came up with an African design that I like! “Greetings from Africa” features two giraffes popping out of decorated Polaroid frames.  The idea came to me while I was designing another card that had nothing to do with an African theme. My brain works in overtime – I swear. ^_^

My favorite pet: cats! “Must Love Cats” simple, colorful and pink! Do you love cats? I do. I have two beautiful and playful cats: Emily and Spooky. I don’t think I’ve ever dressed them in pink though. Spooky has a pink fuzzy mouse that she carries around the apartment.Maybe that inspired the pink in the card. ^_^

Today’s card is for dog lovers! “Must love Dogs” in blue, green and polka dots. (There’s a lot of green in my designs isn’t there? I like green! ^_^) Do you love dogs? Know someone who does? My eldest sister has a cute one named Tobey. My next door neighbor has the cutest little doggy. Dogs are OK with me. I love cats and dogs. They’re both cute!

I know, two posts on the same day. Day 12 was on Saturday. Day 13 is Sunday. Don’t know what happened…
Today we have another classy and elegant “Thank You” card (or whatever other expression you want to add in the middle) in purple and blue! The background pattern is from the Octopus collection by Mae-b.

Old World Charm: Grazie (Thank You) Card

Time for another Thank You card. Well, that’s what I had in mind when I designed it, but you can add whatever message you want in the middle portion.  Today’s card features a classic and elegant look in red and gray.

Is it cheating if I just change the colors? LOL

Here’s the pink-I’ts a Girl!- version of the baby announcement card.

Wow. 10 days already. How time flies!

In other news, I sold some of my Grazie Italian greeting card design. Thank you to my buyer! I hope you enjoy them muchisimo.

It’s funny how small things inspire you. This card started out as an African themed design. I definitely wanted the giraffe, I just wasn’t having a lot of success finding an African print to fill the background. Long story short, this card has been in the makings for a few days and I kept saving it and returning to it, but something was always off.

But today, I got a flash of inspiration. I decided to add a Polaroid frame next to the giraffe (it was still in African theme) and add a caption, “Wild Safari” or something along those lines. I was playing with the giraffe layer and just happened to hit the color overlay option and that was that. I got the break I needed. So, from African greeting to It’s A Boy!

The inside of the Polaroid frame is transparent so that buyer’s can personalize it with their own pictures of the newborn in Zazzle. I used MorganBW’s Confetti and Streamer brush set for the confetti effect.
