:: How would you open these cards?

Would you peel it open like a traditional card, or would you see the brad and spin it open?

I designed these to spin open but I've now given them to 3 people and they ALL tried to pry them apart. I'm not sure whether to laugh...or scream in frustration.

My husband said I should put arrows pointing to each side to indicate they should spin or rotate. My response to that . . ."On the front? In the middle of my beautiful designs? No. Don't be an idiot . . . honey."

Oh well, I like them and I'm happy that I finally perfected using my circle cutter. I'll be designing a bunch for the holidays because they are just so fun to make!

:: bah . . . hmmmbug. Christmas Already?

Yes, it's time to start thinking about Christmas again and I haven't even decided what to make the kids for Halloween.

This is my first Holiday card of the season and I've already filled 12 local orders and 2 online. I love people who plan ahead!

This blend of beauty and humor shows a single, lonely sheep put out on a cold moonlit night. He welcomes your company and greets you with a friendly "Bah". Inside, a tiny creature of the night, the cricket. But this one does not chirp. Instead, he has outfitted himself with a holiday bell on one antenna and offers a simple, melodic humming to warm the evening.

The message is subtle, Bah...hmmmbug.
Happy (EARLY) Holidays!
