“Looking-Up”

 

Mother’s Day – “Looking-Up”-Box-of-8-Cards – ID # 12709 by Christy and Cindy

 

Mother’s Day should be a monthly thing – or maybe even weekly. We can never thank our moms enough for all they went through raising us, and then – if we’re lucky – being our friends as adults. The official Mother’s Day celebration is May 12th.

Reaching out to her and sending a card is a tangible way to show her you’re thinking of her and appreciating who she is all through the year.

This card, designed by Christy and Cindy, says, “You’re the one I’ll always look up to. Happy Mother’s Day.” And the inside says, “Thank you for being you!” It’s our “Featured Piece of the Day” on Creative Artworks!

They have several other designs for Mother’s Day. You can buy a box of 8 cards of this design, or build your own custom box with ANY 8 card designs you like!

I order the custom box several times each year, planning ahead for birthdays, and then ordering some of their friendship cards, get well-be well cards, and more. Then I have the perfect card – for whatever reason I want to reach out – right at my fingertips!

“Tabby and Vermillion Flycatchers” 2-Pack Card Set – ID # 15316 by Darlene Fletcher

Package of two cards. These high quality 5″ x 7″ blank greeting cards come with white envelopes and are printed on FSC certified card stock.

Perched on a branch, Vermilion Flycatchers spend about 90% of the day doing so. Not only are they distinctive, spectacular, and not to mention cute, they’d also be a tasty snack for a cat- well, one that’s awake. Household cats spend most of their days dosing and lounging, however, when night comes, they’re lively and prowling about in a fascinating, dark, nocturnal world!

We are passionate about helping pets, wildlife and habitats at risk, so we donate $1 from every card sale to local organizations that care for what we believe in.

I personally love their  Special-Custom-Box-Of-8-Cards! and have ordered from them several times. I can choose 8 designs in any combination. How cool is that!

I find the cards by Christy and Cindy to be unique and full of love. The drawings are sweet, and the words heartfelt – just perfect for what I’d like to say.

When I send one of their cards, I type a letter on my computer, then print it off and fold it up, enclosing it inside the beautiful card.

I never fail to get a phone call when I send one in the mail, saying they LOVED the card. I gave one to a couple I particularly like on their anniversary. Both were so impressed. They asked where I got the card. :0)

• Christmas
• Easter

• Graduation
• Friendship
• Encouragement
• Birthday
• Be Well – Get Well

Friendship-”Friends-and-Chocolate”-Box-of-8-Cards by Christy and Cindy 

This card is so RIGHT for so many situations. I keep several of these on hand so I’m always prepared to send a card when a friend of mine has something bad happen, I want to send a “get better soon” type card, I want to congratulate a friend on meeting a challenge, or just to reach out and show her how much she means to me. Many times I type a letter, fold it up, and enclose it in this card.

“Wedding-Congratulations”-Box-of-8-Cards

Cindy Smith and Christy Aguirre provide today’s Featured Piece on Creative Artworks! - 

“Wedding-Congratulations”-Box-of-8-Cards by Christy and Cindy

I think this wedding card design and sentiment are PERFECT to send to the new couple.

“May your journey together bring much love, laughter and friendship as you share the adventure of a lifetime. Congratulations.”

As a lucky woman who will share the celebration of 43 years together in June, I can tell you first-hand how important “love, laughter and friendship” are in a marriage. :0)

Christy and Cindy have a great partnership in creating their card designs.  Christy does the illustrations, inspired by her love of the purity and honest enjoyment of life that children enjoy. Cindy paints the illustrations, and writes the heartfelt text for the cards.

Together, they create a miracle.

The designs come in a box of 8 cards and envelopes.  This allows them to give you a much better price for the cards than if you purchased single cards.

Christy and Cindy also offer a special “Build Your Own Box” item where you can choose 8 designs in any combination to create a box that’s perfect for YOUR needs.

I recently purchased the “Build Your Own Box” item.  One of the cards I chose was their design above with an anniversary message – “May the joy you felt on this day all those years ago fill your hearts today. Happy Anniversary.”

My good friends were thrilled, and the lady thanked me with tears in her eyes. I loved the message of the card, and she did, too. May they enjoy MANY more years together!

Christy and Cindy make warm, heartfelt cards for all holidays and occasions:

• Christmas – Hannukkah –  plus Christmas Gift Enclosure Cards
• Easter/Spring – Valentine’s Day
• Graduation
• Friendship
• Encouragement
• Birthday
• Be Well – Get Well
• Thank You
• Baby
• Greeting Card and Magnet Combinations
• Enclosure Cards for Special Occasions
• Mother’s Day
• Father’s Day
• Weddings/Anniversaries

Their newest offering is a combination of a greeting card with a coordinated magnet! (This is only one of them)  The recipient gets a card they’ll love and probably keep, plus a magnet he or she can put on any magnetic surface, such as the fridge at home, or a filing cabinet at work. GREAT idea!

New Blog Header – April 2 – 8, 2012

Another wonderful Monday and a brand new Creative Artworks blog header!

Since it’s almost Easter, I chose work from three artists who inspire me to enjoy every special day to the fullest.

Charlene Bodero makes handmade cards, one at a time, when you order.

“Easter-Bunny-Hop” by Charlene Bodero

Isn’t this the cutest card! It makes me feel like a kid again, waiting for the fun of an Easter egg hunt, with the added humor of Easter bunnies here. :0)

Charlene makes cards for all occasions, plus ones you can use any time of the year as note cards when you want to reach out and touch a friend or family member.

See all of Charlene’s GREAT card designs HERE

DiVoran Lites paints watercolors like I wish I could.  I’ve bought several of her paintings and I love every one of them.

“A-New-Day”-Original-Matted-Watercolor by DiVoran Lites

This means to me a fresh start, renewal, inspiration,!  DiVoran offers matted watercolors, plus what she calls, “Bling Blots” at very affordable prices. I hung mine in a group on one wall and never fail to get wonderful compliments!

See ALL of DiVoran’s paintings HERE

Cindy Smith and Christy Aguirre  have a partnership to create truly wonderful greeting cards. They work together on the ideas, and then Christy does the initial drawings. Cindy then paints each one and comes up with heartfelt wording that is PERFECT for each card. These are unique and wonderful cards you’ll be proud to send for any occasion.

“Easter-Bonnets”-Box-of-8-Cards by Christy and Cindy

These are offered in boxes of eight cards, or you can build your own box, choosing any combination of eight cards!

They also offer a greeting card with a corresponding fridge magnet! This way the person enjoys the card, and then has a magnet they can post on the fridge or on a metal surface at their office, school, or anywhere they like. It’s a lasting reminder that you think they’re special!

Don’t miss their enclosure cards for gift giving at Christmas, or other special reasons, such as  ”Babies – Children,” “Greeting Cards,” or “Wedding – Anniversaries.”

Heartwarming Christmas Cards

I’m so proud to tell you about Cindy Smith and Christy Aguirre! These talented, NICE ladies have been on Creative Artworks for several years now, and my pride in their work simply grows and grows.

“A Christmas candle is a lovely thing; It makes no noise at all, But softly gives itself away; While quite unselfish, it grows small.” Eva K. Logue

Christy’s illustrations are inspired by children. She enjoys watching them enjoy life, taking in the wonders all around them, living freely. Her hope is that their cards will bring you to that child-like place inside and encourage you to live from your true heart. Maybe that’s a lot to want from a greeting card, but her heart believes all things are possible. She bets yours does, too.

“Christmas Eve was a night of song that wrapped itself about you like a shawl. But it warmed more than your body. It warmed your heart… filled it, too, with a melody that would last forever.”  Bess Streeter Aldrich

As an interior designer for several years, Cindy enjoyed creating external spaces with color and pattern where people would feel nurtured and “at home”. She hopes their cards bring a sense of inspiration and help you feel nurtured and “at home” inside yourself. Painting them, as well as writing the text for the cards, is a gift from her child’s heart to yours. She hopes they make you smile!

“Christmas, children, is not a date. It is a state of mind.” Mary Ellen Chase

I love Cindy’s and Christy’s cards, and have ordered from them several times. They not only make Christmas cards you’ll be proud to send this year; they make cards for all occasions, plus card and magnet combinations, and enclosure cards, too!

“A little smile, a word of cheer, A bit of love from someone near, A little gift from one held dear, Best Wishes for the coming year.. These make a Merry Christmas!” John Greenleaf Whittier.

Whenever I give a card to friends or family, I feel so good. The reaction is always the same – people exclaim over the quality, GORGEOUS artwork. They love the heartwarming messages. They thank me again and again. :0)

“Christmas waves a magic wand over this world, and behold, everything is softer and more beautiful.” Norman Vincent Peale

So, do yourself a favor and browse through all the wonderful boxes of cards Christy and Cindy are offering for the holidays. You can choose a box or more of 8 cards of the same design, or you can build your own box or two with any combination of 8 cards per box. What more could anyone ask?

To see ALL of their designs for special days throughout the year, plus birthday cards, get well cards, thinking of you, and more, click on this link.

I regularly order their Build a Box items, choosing the number of cards I like from all of their designs. This way I have all kinds of beautiful cards on hand for any occasion!

ENJOY – and MERRY CHRISTMAS!
