About this Product
With this cute reindeer, the holidays are a gas!
This listing is for five (5) 5x6.5 cards with envelopes. The card is made of sturdy white cardstock, stamped with a hand-carved linocut block. The envelope is stamped on the front, bottom right corner with a simple but adorable holiday tree, also hand-carved from linoleum block. Each set is handmade to order, so allow up to 3 days for creation and drying.
Note : The lines surrounding the image are the "noise" that can occur with hand-carved linocut. While some artists choose to remove this noise, it is part of my individual style to leave it in as I appreciate the handmade and rustic effect.

Meet the Maker
I started drawing when I was a child, to pass the time during frequent illnesses and hospitalizations, and found I had a natural knack. I am mostly self-taught, besides a few courses in high school. I love trying new mediums and styles, but common themes in my work include nature, moodiness, and whimsy. My favorite mediums are acrylic and watercolor paint, needle felt, and linocut block printing though I dabble and creatively meander often!
Two years ago I began studying herbalism to support the overall health and wellbeing of myself and my loved ones. I include listings for herbal products that I have found particularly helpful under the "Herbals" section of my shop.
I also have two POD storefronts that you can visit and order from:

I live with my wife, 3 dogs, and shellpuppy in NC. My 3 adult children and 2 grandchildren all reside in GA, where I'm originally from, so I visit there often. My other hobbies are reading, hiking, traveling, and gardening.
How it’s Made
The card is made of sturdy white cardstock, stamped with a hand-carved linocut block. The envelope is stamped on the front, bottom right corner with a simple but adorable holiday tree, also hand-carved from linoleum block. The ink used to stamp is archival, acid-free, and water-resistant. I design each with original artwork, and carve each block by hand using special tools. Each set is handmade to order, so allow up to 3 days for creation and drying. Due to the handmade nature of the card, expect small variations in coloring and ink application.
Note : The lines surrounding the image are the "noise" that can occur with hand-carved linocut. While some artists choose to remove this noise, it is part of my individual style to leave it in as I appreciate the handmade and rustic effect.
