First Halloween Cards
Just a quickie - wanted to try out my new pumpkin die cut. I like it okay - need to come up with a new background. Love the swirls but don't want todo them to death. Like I said, this was a quickie - want to mail it today.
This is gift enclosure about 2-1/2" square. This is part of my new marketing strategy, which I thought of long ago but haven't implemented until now - that every piece of correspondence that leaves my personal or Pine Tree Designs desk should include a card of some sort. I should be showering the world with free samples so they'll realize how much fun it is to snail mail little pieces of art - and buy from me! At the very least, maybe I can brighten someone's life just a bit. This one is going to my dentist, with a check and an apology for not paying the bill sooner - I must have misplaced it, though I obviously didn't intend and don't remember doing that. They are very nice people there so I feel good about sending this on a personal level too.
The one at the top is going to my credit union with a deposit enclosed. I've decided it's more fiscally responsible and less time consuming to send the little gift enclosures, rather than a full sized card so I'll try that for a while. I'll make a bunch up at a time - trying to keep them seasonal.

I like the new scheme :) The dark green is a little hard to see on the background though.
Shannon - I think you snuck in while I was working on this! I changed the entry font to bold/black - much better, I think. This thing took freakin' forever and the sidebar still isn't finished. I was going for fall-like. The orange looks terrific on my laptop but kinda weirdly yellow-orange on my desktop. Not bad, I guess, just not the same.
Oh - did you mean the dark green pumpkin stem on the black background?? It looks better in person - but you're right - in these pictures, it's almost undecipherable. I'll see if I can fiddle with the color next time I scan these pumpkins.
I like the swirly's in the background. You could also do lil pumpkins in the background?
Cute, Stef.
Harvest moon tonight! It's the full moon that falls closest to the autumnal equinox.
***happy little fall dance***
Stefani - You should check out the paper at http://www.memoryboxco.com/ There are some great halloween background papers in the 6x6 inch sizes. If you want to order some, they're wholesale but I can set you up with my friend Laurel at Create A Card Studio and she'll mail them to you.
Hi Stefani,
happy to hear the necklace made it safe and sound! the cards are cute and what a fun way to send out a little inspiration into the world! (and it almost makes paying bills sounds like fun.) I like the swirly design on the top on, seems very fallish.
