A Happy New Year Card


Hello there

Assuming that you're reading this when it's scheduled to go out, I hope you've had/are having wonderful festivities or holiday time.

As I say, this a scheduled post that I pre-typed some time ago from your point of view, as like a lot of people (in the UK at least) am taking a full break until early January.

However, with you're already on the hunt for New Year cards, the image above is for you.

Full disclosure: this is a design that I've been selling for years, but don't ever seem to have put on the blog for some reason.

How to download this

If you're wanting to send this as an ecard, please feel free to click on the image and download it.

If you'd like to print and use it and/or remove the attribution for the image, the card sheet to make it is also available here.

And with all of that said, I hope this helps, and will leave you to get on with your day, whatever that looks like for you.

More soon.

Hello there

Am so hoping that this post finds you well, thriving, and looking forward to a festive period that works well (whatever that looks like for you).

For my part, I'll be taking a few weeks off, and am planning to be back with the next live post early in the New Year.

Before I go though, I'd just like to thank you sooo much for being here along with me this year, and to offer you the "twinkling Christmas tree" gif on this post as an ecard or graphic for your own use too, if you'd  like it. You can tap on the graphic itself, (or here) to get it onto your own device, and use according to my -appropriately Christmassy-"angel policy" :-)).

And with that, I'll simply send you love and best wishes for a happy, peaceful and prosperous end to the year, wherever you are.

More soon.

Hello there

Hope you're doing well, however the winter season is appearing for you.

Here, I'm behind, as ever. But I've realised (and not for the first time) that our good old home printer can be my friend. In other words, fear not, because even if traditional Christmas cards may or may not get to you in time to send, you can print, make and send the printable variety for a good while yet (assuming that you're reading this close to the date I'm typing, in early December).

So, it seems like high-time to showcase one of my newest designs first: Holly and Roses. Great to cut out and send as it is, or with added layers featuring the floral jug, the sheet itself also includes a blank tag to cover the "Merry Christmas," message, if you'd rather say something else.

(And yes, if you're eagle-eyed, and have been reading this blog for a while, you might notice that whilst the holly in this design is new this season, I've been waiting a while to find just the right place for a variation on that  jug of roses and lilies...)


There are lots of printable options

If the "Holly and Roses" design is too floral for your festive tastes, there are plenty of other options. For example, this cute penguin family from a little earlier in the year are going strong in my Craftsuprint shop...

The image shows a square card front, resting on a blue paper mock-up background. The card features a pen and watercolour drawing of two penguins, and their cute pengion chick. The card has a thick silver digital glitter effect border.

Finally, if you'd like even more choice, and to explore matching papers, inserts and Christmas/festive/holiday verses that match the cards too, click or tap here to see all my printable Christmas designs at Craftsuprint.

As for me, this is my last posting about new designs for the year. But...am planning to post some fun stuff for us all in the next few few weeks. 

So, as ever, thanks so much for being here, watch this space and...

More soon.
