2010 Holiday Card Season

2010-10-23T18:44:00.000-07:00

This 2010 I will only be accepting custom card orders. The design fee is $40 which includes a front and back design.

Last year I found that some of my favorite cards where those that were designed around the photo. I have included a few of my favorites from last year below.

If you would like a card from last years gallery the price will be $15.00, and that includes any sort of modification, and one side only.

FREEBIES: Print your valentines at home! I have designed these valentines to fit into an A2 envelope. Ideally these darling valentines would be coordinated with a paper-source envelope, and something sweet- chocolate perhaps?

Please enjoy, and share the love this Valentines.

The only thing I ask is that you leave a comment below- I'd love to know that they are being used! Also check out my custom invitations- and let me know if I can help you with announcements, invitations, or any upcoming celebration!

To download click on the links below- they will download an 8.5 x 11 jpeg that you can print from your computer. If you can print a borderless photo to avoid any cropping.
