I found these fantastic cards on Etsy last week and had to include them as part of my blogging bonanza!
I love Fréya’s used of pastel colours and simple shapes to create her characters and narratives. She also uses textures and patterns to create stunning compositions which she uses for greeting cards and prints.
Take a look at Fréya’s website for more designs and illustrations.

When I saw these illustrations by Bobbie Print on Flickr I knew I had to blog about them. Not only are they stunning illustrations but they are also inspired by the “12 Days of Christmas” song too.
The cards are illustrated by Victoria Oatway, who works as a full time textile design in Glasgow, Scotland. She creates gorgeous prints and patterns and admits that she has help from her four legged friend, Misty! Most of her designs end up as printed greeting cards like the ones below.
The “12 Days of Christmas” song, lends itself perfectly to the way Victoria works with its repetitive verses and very visual narrative.
Check out Bobbie Print’s website for lots more illustration and surface pattern design.

If you saw my blog post in the summer which featured Kirsty’s work, you may be familiar with her gorgeous drift wood greeting cards and handmade wall and celling hangings.
Below is a selection of her Christmas card range made from tiny pieces of wood, twigs, beads and fabric. The small pieces of drift wood, once carefully fitted together, create wonderful naive shapes which resemble robins, reindeers and Christmas puds.
As well as her Christmas cards, she has also been busy creating hanging decorations for the tree and fireplace. Here is a selection of her poker dot penguins, perched robins and patchwork Christmas trees.
This is just a snippet of some of the great work Kirsty’s produced. You can see much more on her website and blog. Why not also have a browse on her online shop and see if there are any presents to be had for family and friends!
