on both my etsy and creema shops, i feature a number of greeting cards. i originally decided to print and sell extras of the cards i wanted to send to friends and family. the most recent of them are the congratulations cards, which with the wave of newborns amongst my closest loved ones, i have made good use of. today, i want to introduce to you samples of how i’ve used my own greeting cards.
this one features a family of stuffed octopi figures that my friend ordered on etsy for her wedding cake toppers (then for their baby later). i apologize that i can’t credit the etsy seller who made these figures, since i’m not sure who it is, but if anybody knows, i am more than happy to credit the seller so please email me!
こちらのカードは、友人の結婚式のケーキトッパーに使ったタコさんのぬいぐるみカップルをフィーチャリングしました。ベビーが生まれてからタコちゃんベビーも仲間入りしたので、もちろん一緒にお描きしました。
infinite happy birthday’s for my mother / 母へひたすらハッピーバースデー
flower bouquet for my bestie who moved overseas / 海外に引っ越した友人へ、絵の花束
this was the first congratulations card i made! i surrounded the newborn girl with her birth flower, daisies. / コングラチュレーションシリーズの最初のカードでした!生まれたての赤ちゃんを誕生花(欧米の誕生花になりますが)のヒナギクで囲みました。
and of course this one that i mentioned on my last post! / そして、前回お見せしたものです!
before i know it, it’s already the end of august. and it seems, in tokyo, fall has peeped in and given us a sneak peak of the season to come! that said, with all the work going on, my blog was on a little bit of a summer break. so much creativity and major projects happened within the last few weeks, i wish i could tell y’all ALLLL about it!! but that would be a lot of telling, so i’ll start off with showing a couple of things today.
[[ i added a couple photos of this year’s summer memories! ENJOY! / 今年の夏の思い出の写真と共にご覧ください〜⭐︎ ]]
last week, my cousin got married in the states. unfortunately, i couldn’t be there, but i made sure to have a part of me present for the wedding (no, no body parts). i was able to gather some information from his sister about their theme and colors. some key words were: succulents, coral, natural.

i was able to find a place that could laser print my design into the wood. after using it for the wedding reception, it can have a place in their new home together! [ プレゼント ] 廃材になる木材にレーザー印刷でデザインしたネームと日付を印刷してもらいました。
ウェルカムボードとして使用後、新しいお二人の家に飾っていただけます。
