Cards, Anyone? Plus Giveaway Update

Have you ever run to the store at the last minute to buy someone a greeting card, only to find that the card selection was really limited? If you're anything like me, you've had to settle for second best at times, picking something that will work, but not necessarily a card that you like that well.

Drum roll, please! Ta-da! I have created a line of greeting cards featuring pictures of my plushy miniature vignettes. Now you can take into your home and share with your friends a little bit of Plushpussycat! Now you can send greeting cards that you're really happy to send, because they express your interests: plushies, miniatures, cuteness, or all three!

There are three cards in my product line (so far!), and I couldn't be more thrilled! Note: The greeting cards are as pictured, but without the watermark that is across these photos.

OK, here they are (now available in my Etsy shop):

Card #1 “Little Mouse Has a Treat” Inside the saying is: “It’s your birthday. Time for a treat!” Great birthday card for anyone you know.

Card #2 “Oh My, You Shouldn’t Have!” Tomcat has flowers for Plushpussycat. Her reply is the phrase inside the card: “Oh my, you shouldn’t have!” This card can be used both as a thank-you card and as a card celebrating love (i.e. valentine, anniversary, wedding, bridal shower). There are so many possibilities! :-)

Card #3 “Houndstooth Pup and Raccoon Make Friends” Inside: “I’m so glad we’re friends.” Perhaps you’re mailing a small gift, such as a mini exchange or giveaway drawing prize (!), and need a card, or you’re just sending a card to say “hi.” This card is ideal for acknowledging a long-time friendship or even for growing a new friendship! :-)

As you may know, first I source recycled materials to hand sew the plushy critters and design and build the sets for the miniature story vignettes that I feature on this blog. Then I photograph the mini scenes and use photo editing software to tweak the pictures as needed. Finally, to create these cards, I designed the inside sayings and had the cards printed.

I'm really happy with how the cards turned out. They're made from good quality heavy paperstock, and the images printed beautifully. The matching envelopes are a crisp white, also on nice paper. These greeting cards are something I've done that I'm really proud of (taking a bow now!). :-)

OK, now for the giveaway update. I've been busily preparing for the official drawing announcement. Today I will do final tweaks and take photos of the giveaway gifts (yay!). If everything goes according to schedule, I will officially announce the blog giveaway on Monday (yippee!). I'm looking forward to thanking all of you, my followers, for your support by offering the giveaway. Stay tuned for Monday's blog post, so you can enter for a chance to win! Until next time.... xoxo Jennifer
