Hi dearies!  I hope you all had a wonderful week.  The Thanksgiving holiday was very mellow and I enjoyed working on little projects here and there and eating an ample amount of leftovers.  With my nose in a book or armed with a needle and thread (repairing an old ’30s dress, for example) I nearly forgot to mention I had added some cheery recipe cards to my Etsy shop…so here they are!

Oh, and they’re printed on recycled paper with soy inks.

Which reminds me, if you’d like to print your own recipe cards (plus bakery tags, background papers and more) there’s my Blackbirds kit in the shop:

Hi sweets!  My holiday cards have arrived and are nestled in my Etsy shop.

I love how they turned out.  This year I chose a generous size of 5″x7″ – not too big but large enough to really stand out and look pretty on the mantle, tree, etc.   The vintage paper that I used for the silhouette’s background is perfectly (and naturally) aged and distressed to look like an heirloom.  The red envelopes are a deep red which complements the bold black and tan so nicely.  And naturally, they come tied up with red and white striped twine (something I can never get enough of).

You can see the vintage paper better in this photo.  (This image also comes in a 5″x7″ print.)

Cards are printed on 100% recycled paper with soy inks.  Available individually or in sets of 5.

UPDATE: These cards are sold out – thank you, sweet peas!

Have a lovely evening dears!  Thanks for stopping by.  (Off to sew something, I think…either that or getting some red velvet hot cocoa!  Both?  Hee hee.)

Yay!  I’m super excited about these!  I’m totally thrilled with how they turned out; I hope you like them.

“Our Tree Dresses” is my latest hand-drawn illustration, set on lovely light blue-gray Canson paper.   Pretty gold glitter toppers too.  I would love a hat like that!

The size A1 (3.5×5″) cards are professionally printed on 100% recycled card stock with soy inks.  Each card has a matching kraft envelope which is also 100% recycled.  I guess you could say I was going for a “green” Christmas, hee hee.

Oh!  And included in each set are red & white candy button seals to pretty up your envelopes.

I have sets in 2 sizes: 5 card and 10 card sets.  The 5 card sets come specially wrapped like a sweet treat:

Quantities are limited this year.  Ah, here’s the back view:
