Card designs
As I mentioned before, my designs are original, and made entirely from scratch, and by hand. I do use some cutting tools, but they aren’t automated. I do not have machines that can take a sheet of paper and output the design I want, nor would I want to. I enjoy making my cards slowly, carefully, measuring and cutting the paper, then molding it and gluing it in place to yield the three-dimensional textures you will see if you buy my cards.
Here are a few samples of the the design textures on my greeting cards. What you see below is a macro photograph of one of the red flowers on Card #40. As you can see, the petals are made of thin strips of paper laid vertically on the card and molded and bent by hand. Same with the central tiny pistils. They are cut by hand out of little strips and glued into a stem-like shape.
The same attention to detail can be seen in a similarly-designed flower from Card #44.
One of my cards (#45) is made to announce the birth of a baby boy. I designed a teddy bear and embossed a little square patch of paper with the words “It’s a boy”. Both can be seen below.
