Military Cards & Photo Holder

For Dad:


For Mom:


I was recently given the task of creating cards that children can send to their Mom or Dad serving in the military. They can also include a photo of themself on the inside where their is a photo frame that they can color. The lettering for this design was changed later so it will look a little different in the stores.


God bless each and every member of our military and their families. My prayers are with all of them.

Dad & Daughter In Car

Cover:

Inside:

Well, here it is! The missing card from the series I created for Fathers Day Innovation. I guess I must have just over looked it the first time I went to Target. I hope everyone likes the series it is one of my favorites so far.

With this design, I wanted to change the color of the ocean compared to the other card in this series posted below. I felt that it would be too close to the sky color. As for the daughter in this card, I am often accused of making my characters look like my oldest daughter Natalie. This is completely unintended. It is still funny to me. Just thought I'd share!

Dad & Son In Boat

Cover:


Inside:


This card was part of a series I turned in for Fathers Day innovation. The other design hasn't been picked up yet but, I will be sure to post it when it does.

I know a lot of people have no idea how much time and thought goes into creating a greetig card so, I thought I would try to explain this design a little better to show everyone exaclt what I mean.

With this card I wanted it to have an unusual layout. Or at least something different than our usually kids greeting card layout. I have found that most of the time the best art for a greeting card is on the front with little or no art on the inside. In this case the inside has the best art along with the energy and interaction from the characters. Leaving the person buying the card with a better and lasting impression.

I hope this explains my thought process a little better and that everyone enjoys
this design as much as I had creating it.

Hamster Stickers

Detail Images:


With this design I was asked to create hamster stickers in my highly rendered style. I was also told the hamster characters would be printed on small foamy-like pieces placed inside bubble stickers that looked like hamster balls and hamster wheels. They wanted them like this so the foamy pieces could roll around in the bubble stickers. I know it sounds confusing but, I hope all of you understand.

As for the second image, I wanted have a bigger version of the characters. That way you could see the detail that went into each of them.

You can find these stickers at all Target stores right now.

Pirate Bunnies

This card really hits home with me. I have three little girls and they all make me laugh. I had so much fun creating this card. It was well received at American Greetings and I hope everyone enjoys this as much as I had creating it.
