Farmhouse Happy Birthday card

This gorgeous paper from Carta Bella was the inspiration for this farmhouse birthday card.  The background has a subtle shiplap pattern and then features herbs in tin containers sprinkled over it.  The silk bow "ties" it all together (see what I did there) into a beautiful, feminine greeting card.  

Wedding Card

This is one of my all-time favorite cards.  I made it for a wedding but it could also be used for an anniversary card.  It is so elegant with the glittery paper on top, the satin ribbon, gemstone and pearl trim and rhinestone embellishment.  This has been a big seller on my Etsy shop, too.

Happy Birthday Card for a Skier

Skiing is a big sport here in the Pacific Northwest.  Both downhill and cross-country.  This little cutie was made for a friend of mine to give to her husband for his birthday.  They are both skiers so when I found this paper, I immediately thought of them.  I love the outdoor feel of this card.  

Christmas card

It is always an honor when someone asks me to create a custom card for a special occasion.  Sometimes the person making the request has some specific ideas and sometimes they just tell me what the occasion is and allow me to use my own judgement on what it will be.  The recipient for this card is very attached to his black lab so I included that idea into the design.  And I can't get enough of the buffalo plaid papers that are available now.  I hope it never goes out of style.

Mermaid Card

This pretty mermaid card was custom made for the wife of an old friend of mine.  She loves mermaids and teal, as well as anything beachy.  The beautiful paper by Graphic 45 became the launching pad for this card design.  The finishing touch was the teal bow, which adds a touch of femininity.

Wedding card

I love big bows, which is why I use them a lot when I make cards.  They add such an elegant touch.  This is a card that I made for a summer wedding earlier this year.  I added some gemstones for some additional glam and sparkle.  The color used in this card can easily be changed to match the color scheme chosen by the bride.
