Folksy Handmade - Summer Garden

Summer Border Suncatcher Cards
JoSara

This week is a feel good Folksy Friday with a selection of garden views. I have just completed a set of suncatcher cards that are designed to let the sun through to light up the colours, and light up the recipents day too. Just making these cards gave me the feel good factor that a flower border in summer brings. So I thought I'd share that and collect a whole page of summeryness. I have tried to select things that have had the garden design totally created by the designer/artist. That way there's a great selection of styles, and crafts.

To see more pictures and get the full details on any of the items, just click on the pic to go to the shop.

Summer Garden Suncatcher Cards

Magenta Foxgloves Suncatcher Card
Blue Delphinium Suncatcher Card
Wildflowers Suncatcher Card

Set of 3 Summer Garden Suncatcher Cards


Another set of Suncatcher Cards has been added to my website. This set of 3 has a selection of summer garden borders. There's a wildflower border with poppies, cornflowers, and daisies. Another border including magenta foxgloves, and white cowslip. And the final border has blue delphinium, pink echinacea, and orange rudbeckia. They are designed to be displayed with the light shining through them so the translucent paint used lights up and brightens the design. They would make great birthday cards for gardeners, or just as a general card to brighten someone's day. Unique, traditional, and contemporary at the same time.

Folksy Handmade - Crafty Christmas Cards



Suncatcher Christmas Tree Card


I've made my first Christmas Cards this year after I had been experimenting with hand painted suncatcher designs on other cards. I like the idea of something a bit different for Christmas cards. And I like the idea of a craft being used to create the design. So for this week's Folksy Friday collection I've put together a selection of handmade cards with different crafts being used to make the designs. Something special to send this Christmas.

As always, click on the pic to go to the seller's shop.

Suncatcher Christmas Tree Cards

Suncatcher Christmas Tree Cards

Suncatcher Christmas Tree Card


This is my latest listing, a set of four Christmas Tree Suncatcher Cards. The design is handpainted onto clear acetate with translucent paint so when the light shines through the card the baubles light up and become jewel  -like. I am really enjoying experimenting with these suncatcher cards. They are something a bit different from the norm, and should light up the recipient's day.

Ditsy Flower Suncatcher Cards


Ditsy Flowers Suncatcher Card



I'm still coming up with ideas for my suncatcher card range. This time the design is fixed, unlike my other designs which can be removed to use as a proper hanging suncatcher, or a bookmark. These are just pretty cards that if displayed on a windowsill, or somewhere where the light can shine through them, will throw the pattern onto other surfaces. Which makes these cards something different from the norm. I'm trying to design things that would be good for gardeners, to keep a theme for my shop. But these cards would be perfect for anyone that likes flowers, vintage, or just fun, bright things.



Blue Ditsy Flowers Suncatcher Card






The cards have vintage fabric style, ditsy print daisies on them. One with orange, magenta, mint, and white flowers, one with blue, lime, yellow and mint flowers, and the other card is called Double Ditsy because it uses both colourways back to back to create a very deep, rich pattern.









Double Ditsy Flowers Suncatcher Card


As I design all my patterns, and hand-paint them all, you know you're getting something very different from anything else you can buy. Which is all part of the fun for me. I love creating my own designs, because I know no one else is doing the same. It's what handmade is all about, for me. Individual styles that make the items special and unique.

Viola Flowers Bookmark / Suncatcher Blank Card


Viola Flowers Bookmark / Suncatcher Hand Painted Greeting Card




This is the third in my Bookmark / Suncatcher card series, where the card design can be removed and used as a gift suncatcher, or bookmark. Continuing with the garden / nature / wildlife theme that I try and stick to in my shops, this one has a design of three viola flowers, hand painted in deep rich blue and golden yellow which are really intense when the light shines through them. A great, unique card/gift for a gardener, or flower lover, avid book reader, or just anyone who likes something a bit different.

Folksy Handmade - Japan


This Folksy Friday collection was inspired by my Water Lily Bird Bath which has a touch of the Orient about it as the angular shapes used give an origami feel to the design. Looking around on Folksy to add to this collection there were loads of things to choose from. You could actually makeover a whole house in an oriental, Japanese style if you wanted. And your garden too, of course.

The shops link menu can be found below the gallery (2012 FF Pinterest board is on the Folksy Handmade link).
