Supermom Card for American Greetings

Yet another of my new over-the-top art-all-over projects. This is a gorgeous card from American Greetings (it's actually got a choice front-row card display spot at my local Target right now!) On this project I had a chance to really experiment with a mix of lettering styles and it turned out to be one of my favorite hand-drawn lettering projects ever. I learned a lot and the final product turned out beautiful (thanks to the super-organized folks at AG)- what more can you ask for?

Warm Wishes Holiday Cards from Camden Graphics- Part 2

Here's the second of the Warm Wishes designs I did for Camden Graphics. Not much to say except, "Wow!" Loads of glitter, jewels (6!), foil, embossing, a pop-up ornament, and a bow- the lovely folks over at Camden really know how to make my art look great. The black glitter with black jewels really captures the idea of prettiness-with-an-edge that I love so much. If a card like this won't get your attention on the shelves I don't know what will!

Boxed Paisley Garden Notecards

Here's a fabulous new boxed card set from Design Design. These cards have the most lovely irridescent sheen across the surface though it's a very hard effect to photograph. (They end up looking a touch washed out in the photos but in real life they have such rich deep color!) The little jewels add the perfect touch.

Warm Wishes Holiday Cards with Camden Graphics- Part 1

Yes, that's right- 4 jewels on each card!

Look at that sparkle. There's even foil on page 2+3! Craziness!


Here are lots of pics from my new holiday designs with Camden Greetings. These are truly OVER THE TOP! Each card has so many special treatments- glitter, embossing, foil in multiple colors, jewels, and art over every inch of the cards! It was so much fun to create the art for these and such a treat to get the finals in my mailbox. Typically design is all about the challenge of working creatively within whatever technical restrictions the project demands, but with these I was free to play. I just love it when a client says "Jess, we want you to go all out." Music to my ears! Besides the art & design, all the script lettering is also hand-drawn by me (but I can't take credit for the "by Jess Volinski" line on the back. That's Chennai one of my fav sans-serifs of the moment.)
