Adore By Nat

Notes from the Artist:

Another Happy Birthday with Flower Card in my shop. The felt flower is cut and stitched by me. A fun mix of paper, felt and button creating this chic and sassy card. The card measures 5.5" x 4.25" and comes with an envelope. The inside of the card is blank for your own personal message. It is placed in a resealable plastic sleeve.

FiveDot

Notes from the Artist:

A cheeky way to express sorrow for one's misfortunes or a peace offering to someone you duped. Or take it for face value. Whichever way you put it, it will conjure up a response everyone will be happy about.

Call me old fashioned, but there's nothing like receiving a piece of "snail mail" that is not a bill or junk mail. It's okay to get excited when you see a colored envelope or a hand-written address. It's okay to do a little happy dance or let out a little *gasp* when you open up something fantastic. But it's when that piece of mail reflects the style and personality of its sender... that is what makes personal correspondence worth that little postage stamp.

Notes from the Artist:

I've been drawing a lot again lately, this is the newest design. Patti the paper doll all occasion card along with her dog peanut. It's a great way to get a little extra use out of a card.

Haley's Handmades

Notes from the Artist:

These poodles are having a great time eating, drinking, and talking at a summer luncheon. Don't they make you want to join the party? If you look closely, you can see a cat is in attendance too. The image idea is taken from the famous Renoir painting, Luncheon of the Boating Party. I've used this drawing as the basis for an invitation design too.

NotMoira

Notes from the Artist:

This card is one of my favorites and a favorite of my buyers as well. The inside reads "You ain't nothin' but a hoochie mama!" I like for my cards to look nice on the outside and drop an unexpected bomb on the inside. You won't find cards like mine at any old card store, that's for sure. I love sending these as much as I love making and selling them!

P.S. Pearl Stationery

Notes from the Artist:

These P.S. Signature correspondence card greetings were designed with my shop logo in mind. I wanted to create a versatile set with somewhat informal, sweet and simple sentiments that could be used either for celebrations like birthdays or anniversaries, or as everyday reminders to your loved ones of how special they are to you.

My work is inspired by everything from a fabulous dress to a beautiful flower to an eye-catching ad. Of course, as an avid paper crafter, completing a stationery design is satisfying in itself. But, it's not nearly as rewarding as knowing, thanks to my Etsy shop, that my handmade cards will be used by someone to say "happy birthday," "thanks," "congrats," or just "hello" to a special recipient.

CONTEST TODAY!

What's the reason you tend to usually send a card or note in the mail? Birthday, anniversary, congratulations, thank-you, just to say hello, for a holiday, or any other occasion? Leave a comment letting me know, and you could win a FREE set of the P.S. Signature Correspondence cards (a $12 value!), pictured above. One name will be randomly selected from the comments received today! Good luck :)

Be sure to include your etsy shop address or an email where we can contact you if you win! One winner will be randomly selected from all comments posted before 6 a.m. EST tomorrow. The winning number will be posted in the comments and contacted by the artist.

Little Whims

Notes from the Artist:

I love the combination of bright colours, cute illustrations and sometimes even, a clever play of words. My latest creations feature original illustrations that have been graphically enhanced for the polished printed look. Cards are meant to be kept, and thus should be worthy of being stowed!

JennieRose Designs

Notes from the Artist:

Today is my parent's 34th anniversary, which makes it a perfect day to say "whoo hoo!" One of these adorable owl cards would work perfectly, not only for an anniversary, but also for a birthday, or to just say hello!

Charisema

Notes from the Artist:

These blank notecards are so dog-gone cute! Like many of my cards, these are designed using canceled postage stamps from around the world. All my cards are originals and no two cards are the same.

Keeping blank notecards on hand is helpful for any occasion that may arise. Your personal greeting will mean so much to your friend. Get yourself out of the doghouse and send your friend this wonderful dog notecard!
