Rainbow Birthday Set

Brand new template today! This one is for a card that can hold money, and a matching envelope. Instead of being long and narrow like most money cards are, this one folds like a billfold to make a smaller card.

Available with and without a Happy Birthday message, this set includes a 3x3x1 inch box, the card, and matching envelope. I'll also be posting the blank templates for sale in my Etsy shop.

Print them at 300 dpi. Click on the images for the full sized versions. The envelope matches both cards so I only made one envelope. Print the card and box on cardstock, and the envelope on paper.

Celestial Mandala box, card and coloring page

Still on a mandala kick. This one is one of my favorites so far. Simple with 4 points, lots of swirls and a celestial theme. The original is a bit bigger than the version I used on the printables. Except for the coloring page, the printables are 300 ppi. Click on the images for the full sized versions. Hope you like this as much as I do!

I liked this one so much that I put it on Don' t Eat The Paste at Zazzle and plan to order a teeshirt soon.

Cold November Morning- card

On Black Friday, as we were coming back from the mall at 9:30 am, which happens to be about sunrise right now in Anchorage, I snapped this picture for my beadwork newsletter subscribers.

That's taken fairly close to my house. When I took it, I remember thinking "I hope that pretty pink shows well." 

I also recently got a suite of applications that included one called Paint It (affiliate link). Fairly inexpensive as a standalone product, just over 20 dollars from Amazon. It is a program I thought my daughter would like. It only does one thing, but it does that one thing fairly well. It creates painting effects of your photos. Running this photo through the application turned out pretty, and also fairly well got rid of that street lamp in the background without me fussing with it. It has 10 different effects and I like all of them except the pen drawing. That one doesn't pick up enough detail. The first image below using the detailed watercolor effect, the second uses my favorite effect, illustration. 

I thought the first one looked like a pretty card image, so I put it on a card! 

300 ppi, click the images to download the full sized versions.

The card measures 3.5 wide by 5 inches tall. The envelope is just over 5 inches wide and 3.5 inches tall, which makes it an okay size for mailing.Print the envelope on paper, and the card on card stock. Here's the blank templates to design your own. Gif format, so you'll have to increase color depth, the envelope is horizontally oriented for designing, so print on landscape settings or rotate it 90 degrees to print. Pixel drawn, 300 ppi.

Snowflake set of goodies

I graphed a snowflake in beads to use as my current user picture on Facebook, I liked that well enough that I decided to draw one as well. 

So first, a card and envelope set. The cards print 2 to a page, so you'll need to print 2 of the envelopes to go with them. They are 5 inches high x 3.5 inches wide which just reaches USPS letter size. To make the envelope, fold in the sides, then the bottom. Glue the bottom to the sides. Fold the top and seal with tape or with a pretty label. Print the envelope on paper, the card on card stock. The set is in 300 ppi. Click on the images for the larger versions. Inside of the card is blank for your sentiment. Back of the card has a quote I liked and my name as the artist.

And a full sized page to print out and use as art if you wish. Has the quote from the card on it.

300 ppi, click image for the larger version.

Not done yet! A coloring page, and embroidery patterns. These are in 100 ppi. Click on the images for the full sized version.

Pretty little cards

I love One Pretty Thing's collections of inspirational links, and I like the idea of one pretty thing. The idea just got stuck in my head. I like doing little pretty things for my family and loved ones, and one of my favorites is little cards that are unexpected. I have an "I love you" note stuck to my monitor that my daughter left on my keyboard one day.
So with those two thoughts in mind, I made up a template for an atc sized envelope and card, then I had to decorate them.
Science is always inspiring to me. My husband and I watch Nova and Nova Science Now pretty regularly, we read science magazines and physics books together. So using a quote from Carl Sagan seemed like a natural to me for this project, but I included a blank card and a completely blank template. I hope you like them.
