Notes from the Artist:
I love to sit a doodle small stylized drawings. I have taken that passion and used it combined with a interest in making hand made papers out of recycled items to create a line of greeting cards, note cards, invitations and gift tags.

Notes from the Artist:
A short and to the point little drawing. Great just to remind someone you care. Hand drawn, digitally colored notecard.

Ashleybug Designs

Notes from the Artist:
This set of 3 cards features two of the best things in life: some good espresso and paper-piecings from an original design. They are fun, colorful, and perfect for sending to a friend as a coffee date invitation!

Designs in Floral

Notes from the Artist:
I love flowers!! I also love to create special occasion cards with the real flowers I press from my garden. Each card is created with care then the real flowers are covered with a protective layer over the front of the card. Send a dear friend some flowers and a card, ALL IN ONE! :) I also offer greeting cards with prints of some of my designs for those who want a less delicate card with the same great designs.

happy day studio

Notes from the Artist:
I draw and paint each of my cards by hand using pencil, watercolor, and ink. The cards may look similar but no two will ever be exactly the same! My favorite part of the process is adding the outlines and watching the image come to life!

ChristinaHill

Notes from the Artist:
This 10th Birthday card is made just like one I made for my daughter, who is ten years old on Easter Day. This card features beautiful die-cut flowers made from Amy Butler paper and a three-layer cake, with two candles and a big Easter-y 10 on the front. The cool purple background paper wraps over to the back of the card too. The flower centers are pretty rhinestone brads and the cake layers are accented with purplish-blue ribbon.

JonesEmporium

Notes from the Artist:
I make cards for the sheer enjoyment of creating with my hands and mind. I don't stick to any one style, or medium, but enjoy experimenting with all. My cards range from simple to complex and are priced from very low to medium high. I sell so I can create more.

LiSoCards

Notes from the Artist:
I like the idea of taking something that is traditionally "precious" and making it just a little bit more modern. I think that this card achieves that...It's still sweet, but it has just a touch of funk. (the good kind!) Perfect as a congratulatory card or for a shower.

PeggMackoDesigns

Notes from the Artist:
I just love to make colorful but simple cards. Dragonflies always seem shimmery when they fly, so I'ved used halographic embossing on their wings to make them shimmer!

moxiephotodesign

Notes from the Artist:
there is so much about this card that gets me excited. the photograph was from a listing of fabric i had on etsy, i loved the photo so much, i had some prints made. i have started to do this with a lot of my fabric listing photos. the mom jeans image is from a vintage catalog. i love vintage. i love sarcasm. i love dry humor. my 'thing' with high waisted jeans will never be quenched. i was young when i saw a saturday night live skit about 'mom jeans' and well, have been obsessed with the wickedness of those evil things since.
this card is just the perfect amount of sassy to give to a good natured friend.

Jen-I-Mals

Notes from the Artist:
So my lady cows don't have to be lonely or so grumpy anymore I have created Moooocho Macho Cow. He is a studly male version of my cow form. He even has a nose ring, how sexy is that.I skecthed him first and then colored him using a combination of illustrator and Photoshop. I love color, bright and bold. My art is best described as expressionistic. I love the simplification of form and when it's paired with a bright palette, well it's magic. I am Jen and I have been working on my own menagerie of simplified and expressionistic animal characters. So have fun browsing and if you really like these lil ones well then by all means place an order.I hope you enjoy my art and I hope it takes you back to your childhood and the wonderful innocence that went along with it.

LD Photography

Notes from the Artist:
This is a new idea for cards that I have not seen before. It is a combination of a photo blank note card and a Art Trading card in one package.

THIS CARD is a blank lavender note card with my ACEO Bridge over the Arno (Florence, Italy) in it. The ACEO is titled, signed and numbered 2/50. After it is sent the receiver can take out the ACEO and keep it as a lovely remembrance. I think it will be fun to collect these.

Creations by Char

Notes from the Artist:
I love this card because it is so sophisticated and elegant. The colors are non-traditional for a "love" or "valentine" card, and that appeals to me as well. The silver highlights offset the navy perfectly, and the white organza ribbon ties everything together nicely.

The Paper Crown

Notes from the Artist:
I love making cards and giving them to friends and family. I now feel like they have an expectation that every card I give them has to be handmade by me! How will I ever get to buy other cards from all these great cardmakers on etsy? Joking aside, being on etsy for a little more than a year has really helped me refine my craft and I hope to always be able to sell what I love to make.

Kreative Thoughts

Notes from the Artist:
After having two children I felt like something was missing. I started creating again and fell in love with the process. Greeting cards are so much fun to make. I sit down and the ideas just sort of start flowing. My grandmother ordered an order of cards and after receiving the cards my grandpa called and said he wanted some manly cards. So, here is my attempt at a manly card. I was really happy with how it turned out. I hope you like it!

Tinalina

Notes from the Artist:
I wanted to showcase this card because I used my favorite stamp set to create it. However, I usually don't use pastel colors, so it surprised me after I was finished. I feel this card is more feminine that I'd like to admit, which is why it surprised me. I think I feel that way about myself at times. :) I pretend that I'm not "too girly", but yet I really am.

Intertwingle

Notes from the artist:
As a child my sister would run ahead of my dad as he mowed the lawn picking as many violets, daisies, or dandelions as she could. She would stuff her pockets and fill her little hands in a mad dash to save them from the mulching blade. Sometimes it was a traumatic event. She was and still is a dramatic person. She could conjure the kind of tears that spurt out from the edge of the eye ala cartoon character.
Even little flowers that may be considered weeds are precious enough to be held by our hearts(in our pocket) for they are blooming -- a mini miracle in itself therefore, they have earned a place of honor in this pop-up creation.

Capturedtimebooks

Notes from the Artist:
With spring on its way it only makes sense to have a bounty of blooms!

Little Whims

Notes from the Artist:
My passion for card-making really stems from an obsession with paper. I love how something so simple can be artistically tweaked to make very unique and individualised gifts for others, which can hold such precious words that may be kept for years to come. I enjoy experimenting with different designs, prints, and styles, and my work reflects the various facets of the colourful and the whimsical.

Fubabee

Notes from the Artist:
Wedding stationery is fun to design. It's also an honor since it's one of those elements that help set the tone for a couple's celebration. As of this year I've already designed wedding invitations for 6 couples, all with very unique characteristics. By the end of the process, I feel like I've gotten to know the couple, whether through exchanging emails or phone calls. It makes me feel happy to know that I can participate in someone's special day in my own small way.

Notes from the Artist:

Cardwear

Notes from the Artist:
These sweet little bunnies will help you wish someone you love a "Hoppy Easter." This card is made with lovely lavender bunny fabric and a matching lavender ribbon. The fabric seems to coordinate perfectly with the inside message, "Sending you a big bunny hug!" I love when a card comes together so perfectly!
