It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like…

Wait—what??

Am I the only one who’s freaking out about it being mid-October again already?

Well, that means the winter holidays will be upon us in just two shakes of a lamb’s tail, so here’s my reminder that you can order my holiday card designs again this year! I’ll have 3 available designs: the colourful “Holiday, Holly and Tree” and the whimsical “Creatures’ Winter Wreath”, both designed in 2023—and a brand new handdrawn black-and-white design this year, currently known as the Mystery Card!

All these cards will be folded A6 cards (that is 10.5 cm x 14.8 cm, when folded). The inside of the card is left blank so you can add your own message to your loved ones.

Are you curious about the Mystery Card yet?

The reason why I’m doing a Mystery Card is that I like to surprise the people I send a card myself. Last year my solution was to make a second design for myself, but this year I thought it would be fun to throw a little mystery into the mix. What do you think?

How to order your cards

Orders can be placed directly via my Paypal, but please don’t hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or want me to calculate the exact price for your order. Just let me know how many cards you want, whether to include envelopes or not, and your address. (Please don’t forget to include your country!)

If you order directly, please specify the following in your order:

  • how many cards you want of each type:
    • Holiday, Holly and Tree (per 1), e.g. “10x holiday tree card”
    • Creatures’ Winter Wreath (per 1), e.g. “5x wreath card”
    • Mystery Card (per 1), e.g. “3x mystery card”
  • Don’t forget to specify whether you want envelopes as well. (€0.50 per envelope)
  • Specify your address. If no other address is specified, I will assume your Paypal address is the correct address for shipping.

If you want to place an order of 30 cards or more, best get in touch with me first so we can look into the best shipping option for your area.

I hope my cards will once again bring a little cheer around the world!

Not in the holiday mood yet?

I get it, we’re still looking forward to Halloween! My all-season set of 10 postcards designed in 2023 is still available too (click here).

Mind, though, that it’s probably a good idea to order your cards early to make sure you’ll be able to send them in time for the holidays.

Thank you, and enjoy your autumn!
