Colorful Kitties Notecard

I shared this artwork last Friday and immediately people asked if it was available on note cards, and so I designed and printed a few dozen. This design just lends itself to a variety of themes—friendship, thank you, thinking of you, even an invitation to an event.

“Colorful Kitties” is a tissue paper cutouts laid on paper, 6.5” W x 9” H, dated 2/12/15. The cat figures are cut freehand from colored tissue paper used for wrapping starting with the big blue kitty and each successive kitty appeared to me in color and posture and position in relation to the others. I arranged them on a page in my sketch book, while Mewsette and Mr. Sunshine supervised. Here is the image below, and you can visit the original post for more information on how I created it.

Unlike most of my other cards which are 5″ x 7″, this card is an A-2, which is 5.5″ x 4.25″, and printed on 100# acid-free uncoated cover stock, blank inside. Also unlike my other cards, I print these myself with the printer I invested in last summer. This enables me to print small quantities of a design just to see how they do, and if they are popular I can then print commercially. I’ve been printing my own art prints for the past few months, and this is my first experiment with printing cards of any sort.

I tend to purchase paper goods on clearance and so I have a stock of lots of different papers and envelopes. These come with 70 lb. opaque acid-free envelopes that are inkjet/laser compatible in your choice of envelope color.

Ordering

Envelopes

Each card comes with your choice of a 70 lb. text weight acid-free envelope which is inkjet/laser compatible. Please choose a color or colors from the drop-down list which corresponds with the photo of the envelopes available. You can further customize this by adding a note to your order explaining your choice, such as “Please send five white envelopes and one red envelope” with an order of a half-dozen cards.

Packaging

One and two cards are packed in a glassine bag, a half-dozen or more are packed in a clear-top vinyl greeting card box.

Shipping

Shipping cost is included in the purchase price for USA and Canada.

One and two cards are shipped in a 6″ x 9″ envelope via first-class mail.

Six or more cards are shipped in a small flat-rate box via USPS Priority Mail.

Both methods will get just about anywhere n the US within three days. If you need your cards sooner than that, please ask and we can make arrangements for guaranteed two-day or overnight shipping.

I have these notecards available in singles, two, half dozen or dozen in my Portraits of Animals Shop on Etsy.
