Floral Cards You Can Print in a Hurry...(And More)

Hello there, and hope all is very well with you and yours today.

And yes, as you've probably guessed this post *does* contain links to lots of my floral printables, if you're in a part of the world celebrating Mother's Day next Sunday (12th May 2024). Like this flower-pot-shaped card sheet...

Or this watering-can, suitable for Mother's Day and beyond:

Most of these can be used year-round...

 But, if you're reading this at any time and are in need of a quick card or some printable wrap, most of my sheets can be used for lots of different occasions too, and at any time of year. The card sheets, for example, have labels on them to make them suitable for birthdays and/or other celebrations.

And...

And, if you're reading this in the UK, and happen to be in 2024 as you're reading too, you may be scratching your head, and/or panicking. If so, please take a nice, deep, breath. You're right, UK Mother's Day was and always is in March. It's just that I know a lot of my readers live in other parts of the world, and I very much want to make sure that everyone is included in posts wherever possible.

Finally...

Finally, thought that you might also want a sneak peak at some work-in-progress, regardless of your location. 

Well, actually, not quite "regardless", because this watercolour line and wash sketch is most likely to become a "New Home" card. It just doesn't have any of the fancy design round it yet. Watch this space for that.

(Line and wash watercolour/Krita 5
digital watercolour combination).

I'll keep you posted on the progress of this design and in any event, thank you *so* much for reading down this far. (Update: This is now finished and available as a downloadable shaped card, here).


Next week, am doing a design mini-course/challenge, so I don't yet know if  I'll be posting then, or the week after. But I can say that there will be...

More soon.

Instant Downloads Are Here

Hello there

Hope all's well with you, and that it's OK to be *really* excited in this post.

Because finally, finally (and can I say it again...*finally* :-) it's time to announce something have been wanting to share for weeks...

You can now instantly purchase download and print ready-designed funny greeting cards from my CartoonsbyClare  store on Zazzle, like this one:

Beer Logic, now available as a download too

Zazzle beta-tested this for ages before making it all fully live (or advising any sellers to shout about it). Which was wise, but has also meant that have been keeping this secret since well before Christmas...And it's now March...

Why is this such a big deal?

 "Why is this such a big deal?" you may be asking. Fair point. Well... 

Before now, the (excellent quality) Zazzle cards had to be printed and arrive in the post? Well, they still can if you would like that. But instead or as well as that option, instant downloads mean that you don't have to wait for any cards to arrive in the post.

You can just download and print them straight after purchase. Which means that if need the card quickly, or live outside the USA, you can still have exactly the card you want, but now, you can have it instantly.

This is also great news for the planet, in terms of all the packaging and transport miles saved.

Can I still personalise the card before I buy it?

Yes, you can still personalise/personalize the cards before purchase. Here's an example of a card that people enjoy personalising. Eg. by changing the name of the recipient:

Click or tap here to order the download or print
version of this card.

See this and lots more downloadable cards in my Cartoons by Clare Store on Zazzle.

What if I like sending or making physical cards?

Zazzle can still print your cards physically if you'd prefer that. And outside the Zazzle universe, for people who enjoy making cards from the (also instant-download) sheets and kits in my Craftsuprint store, there will still be new sheets and kits to enjoy.

The instant downloads option is designed for people who want the convenience and/or eco benefits of downloading, but don't want to make or design the cards themselves.

Finally

As a final note, I'd add that this isn't just for funny cards. You can download all sort of other cards, like the one below, and prints and posters too, from BoundingSquirrel, and the wider Zazzle site.

Hope this news feels as great to you as it does here...have been waiting a *long* time to make this post (and used to wish it were possible, well before Zazzle even suggested it to sellers).

If you're even just a bit curious about it, do have a look at some of the cards, and see if my downloads are something you might like.

And in any event, thanks so much for being here, and for reading down this far.

Have a lovely weekend, and more soon.
