From Watercolour to Handmade Card :: Posted by: Hazel on March 27th, 2010

Working With Little Gems Handmade Cards

I am really pleased to be working with Little Gems Handmade Cards, since the begining of 2010 I have been designing graphics which have been made into beautiful handmade cards and are on sale online at www.littlegems-cards.co.uk.

There are now lots of designs online for both Wedding and Party invitations, ranging from the classic, chic and elegant styles to the fun and funky. From Wedding cupcakes to funky wonky tiered cake party invitations and from formual one cars to tea cups for parties of all types.

Tea Party

The tea party invitation was inspired by my love of a cup of tea in a china cup and saucer, I painted this cup and saucer in watercolours from a cup and saucer here at home, I then made it into a graphic and then a card design and it was created into a handmade card now online at www.littlegems-cards.co.uk/invitation_teacup.html.

In House Designs

At Little Gems Handmade cards all the cards and invitations are designed in house, and therefore can offer cards both bespoke and customised options to clients requirements. Why not check out the website, and if you don’t see what you are looking for contact Alison at Little Gems Handmade Cards and together we can off lots of ideas and suggestions for bespoke and custom designs.

Valentine Day Cards :: Posted by: Hazel on January 11th, 2010

Designing Valentine Graphics for Handmade Cards

I have been working with Alison at Little Gems Handmade Cards to produce some graphics and designs for their 2010 range of Valentine’s day cards.

Alison has admired my flower designs in the past and asked me to produce some designs for the sites new range of cards.

I have designed the cards and digitally drawn red roses and rose buds, plus lots of hearts to come up with the designs which include both classic and contemporary themes.

The cards each have a layered element with a part of the design decoupage to give a 3D effect, it has been a great experience developing a range of card designs in this way for a retail outlet. The graphics are designed for print at 300dpi which gives a high quality finish to show off the detail, then produced in pdf format for Alison to print create the handmade cards.

Incorporating New Designs into an Established Range

The hearts design for example uses the same font that is used on the Little Gems Handmade Cards Wedding Party Card range to keep continuity and the wording “Will You Be My Valentine” in the same style as the sites “Will you be my Bridesmaid” range, thus making the new design card fit in as part of the sites unique range.

Buy Online at Little Gems Handmade Cards

It has been great fun designing the cards and graphics and Alison has created beautiful cards with them which can be purchased online on the Little Gems Handmade Cards website www.littlegems-cards.co.uk/seasonal.html
