New Grandson - New Baby Card!

A new grand baby is on the way today - a grandson, to be exact.  In honor of his arrival (the little guy's name is yet to be decided), Jeff has made this special welcome card.

I love the card - the old fashioned bathtub, the textured towel, and of course the yellow "rubber" duckie.  And even the bubbles look real !

      Textured card stock for the towel

        White vellum for the bubbles

The inside of the card is white card stock edged in blue ink however, I asked Jeff this morning to add another yellow duckie on the inside lower right corner of the card to carry through the card theme.  Maybe I'll suggest he add a few bubbles as well??  

And while I'm in an asking mood, maybe Jeff will make a few additional cards in both blue and pink for our Etsy shop.  Jeff???

Ft. Lauderdale Indie Show

It's been awhile since we last posted.  Life has been busy!  Work, family, new grandchild due soon, and busy making cards and journals.  Today Jeff and I have a booth at an Indie craft show.  It's a fun venue - a funky nightclub.  Our table space is in the mosh pit. :-)  

Sales are brisk.  It's nice to hear people talking about sending cards.  We made some mini-zine business cards to give away.

Next posting I'll tell you about the journal making class Jeff and I took in Sarasota, Fl a few weeks ago.  It, too, was great fun!

Real Men Do Make Cards!

Whomever has said that real men don't design or craft handmade greeting cards have never seen Jeff's work.  Take a look for yourself and see what this guy created the other night.  He loves to work with structure, cutting, and diecuts.

A beautifully designed card made with Japanese paper.

Vibrant tropical colors, again made with Japanese papers.

A stamped pattern set atop a piece of translucent vellum

which sits over a piece of art Jennifer created on her gelli plate. 

A very ethereal looking card.

Same concept, this one using a 

wildflower motif.  It looks like the flowers are sitting 

in a sunset or sunrise, doesn't it?

All cards are available on Paper Owl Artists Etsy shop.  Custom orders always welcome!
