Kathyy's Krafts



Notes from the Artist:
I love to recycle!  This card is made from recycled advertising in
addition to card stock, patterned paper, and rubber stamps.  Instead
of filling a land field the advertisement has been made into a
beautiful card that you can share with someone special in your life.
The image really caught my attention because of the color of the tea.
It looks so beautiful and reflects the beautiful colors of Fall.

happy day studio



Notes from the Artist:
 I love fun colors, happy little things, and working with watercolor (for the beautiful ways the colors mix on the paper). Outlining with black ink is my favorite part of the process... I love watching the drawings come to life! :)

MrsDragon



Notes from the Artist:
With my cards I strive for sweet sentiments and a simple
aesthetic. I create dimensional elements that literally "pop" off the
page as a focal point and pair them with just the right turn of
phrase. These holly-day cards were inspired by my love of drawing
holly as a child. I love how open ended they are, allowing them to
work for a multitude of winter holidays.

Haley's Handmades



Notes from the Artist:
 I love this card because you don't see many Thanksgiving greeting cards anymore and poodles carrying a cooked turkey in makes me laugh! This card design is based on a Norman Rockwell magazine cover from 1919.

So many of us have been touched by cancer in one way or another. I designed this card for a friend to sell on her website that donates to cancer research. Since it's October and Breast Cancer Awareness month, I'm featuring my pink card.

Creations by Char



Notes from the Artist:
I bought some new fall paper and had a great time making this card. I made the embellishments by attaching leaf-patterned paper to some chipboard leaves and lightly inking the edges. This one could also work as a Thanksgiving card.

A Punkin Card Company



Notes from the Artist:
I try to use as many patterns as I can find from nature to use in my
cards. Animals, trees, the swirls of the wind, all these play a huge
roll in what my cards will look like.

Notes from the Artist:
Fall begins a wonderful time of year for family and I wanted someting special to put around the Thanksgiving dinner table to tell each family member why I was thankful for them. I use them like place cards and enjoy sitting with my morning coffee during November and writing a Thankful note to each person. It's become something they look forward to.

Notes from the Artist:
I love fall.! It's one of my favorite times of the year. So naturally since it's starting to get chilly, I spend more time in my craft room. Nothing like hot chocolate, music, and time spent creating..!

Notes from the Artist:
I love the beautiful mixture of colors on this card. I love to make holiday items look a bit more modern than the traditional red and green. Christmas is such a magical time of year, and I hope that my cards help pass along a little bit of that magic to the recipient.

Memories Couture



Notes from the Artist:
I wanted to feature a different line of cards that showcases punk, retro, or tattoo art. Our Pink Punk HI! card is an example of our some of our eclectic creations. You can also find another passion of mine in my Etsy shop. I LOVE Disney and I have many cards that feature characters from the Magical Kingdom, with many more to come. You'll see cards in my shop made from reproductions of vintage luggage labels. Another fun find of mine that I am enjoy playing with. My hope is that whoever receives one of my cards, launches a smile on their face and maybe a sprinkle of pixie dust in their heart!

smdesign



Notes from the Artist:
I chose this card because I think she represents the season right now. I hand drew this image then added color on the computer. Im a graphic designer so all my cards usually start out that way. I always add a hint of glitter somewhere as well. This card has red glitter on her lips.

Vanessa Cavaco Designs



Notes from the Artist:
I love to design stationery that is unique yet elegant and a bit funky. Cards that reflect a person's personality is what I try to convey in my designs. Love working with black motifs on white thats why this card is one of my favorites a simple yet funky tree embellished with a hologram sparkle bead.

Cards by Chelleline



Notes from the Artist:
My images are carefully hand-cut and crafted from leftover scraps, and pasted onto a minimalist white background. A number of them are inspired by fairy tales. I try to evoke a particular feeling with my cards, and of course, the feeling depends on the individual who is looking at the card, which is why they are all blank inside.

NY Papercrafter



Notes from the Artist:
While making a card to go along with a sewing project I realized that I enjoyed making the card more than the sewing. There is also that love of paper that has always been calling me!

The card I've chosen was a lot of fun to make. I've dry embossed the ornament to a white piece of cardstock and then again on the patterned paper, cut out the desired pieces and adhered them. The same patterned paper is used for the background.
