Card: "Cup(Birthday)Cake" [Birthday]

Who: For my friend's birthday [yesterday] in which she mentioned that she'd be a good cupcake baker for some reason when we talked over coffee this past Monday.

What: Along with a cupcake baking kit [giant cupcake pan, paper cupcake holders, and book], this is the card that will be accompanying her gifts. The cupcake design is hand drawn and painted in Photoshop.



Why: When talking on that Monday, I mentioned how it would be cool to have a potluck with our grammar school friends. I'm just trying to tell her straight up to share the wealth once she gets good baking em.

Product: "Bake On"

The bacon graphic was designed in Photoshop using heavily stroked lines. I failed effortlessly trying to hand draw it with my tablet.
Front of the card with full bacon graphic.
Inside reads "Get your bake on." Full explanation can be read on "Bake On"'s original post here.

"Bake On".

Here's a card that I printed full bleed in which I rarely do. But this looked especially good with the light teal/blue card.

Product: "Catch Her in Time"

An actual print out from the design "Catch Her in Time" made for a friend. Design originally posted here.

Product: "Wavello"

Another general card to give, the card's illustration is a hand in the front and once you flip it, the hand inside moves as if waving. Reminded me of those sketches that move when you flip the pages fast enough so this
Inside left simply reads "hi."
Your message can be written across the top and below the text.

"Wavello"

Product: "Are(Y)ou"

A card design I made earlier in the year. It's a general card in which you can send anytime. The giant arrow on the face of the card is pointing to the recipient.
Ok I'll admit: my printer is losing ink so there is banding... which is not part of the design! Nevertheless, this printout shows you the premise of the card.
Inside, "You are______" is printed and the sender can put anything [s]he wants. For example, "You are thoughtful" or "You are such a loser." So really, anything you want. haha
On the backs of all the cards are the titles printed.

Card: "Bake On" [Birthday]

Who: My friend's birthday is coming up and she has a likening for bacon products. She's laughed at bacon novelties such as band aid branded bacon or bacon floss.

What: Bacon. You see it right.
Why: The tagline is "Get your bake on." because the gift I'm giving is a cupcake pan and book. We got those designer cupcakes in which they cost much and so learning how to bake em will save money. Ya dig.
