I’m seeking feedback for my listing photos. They are slightly different fabrics. Does the background work for either of these photos -#1 or #2? Thanks in advance
For those that appreciate the old-fashioned tradition of sending cards, there’s something special about finding a little Halloween surprise in your mailbox. It’s a little spooky, a little whimsical, and hopefully enough to make someone smile.
All designs and paintings are created in my studio, aka my dining room table.
Here’s the link to the scarecrow card - https://amellorwatercolors.etsy.com/listing/4542826304
I was inspired to create this from a childhood memory - a memory where my sister and I used to dress up our cats for the holidays. We were young, and I’m sure the cats never forgave us.
This greeting card is a print from my original watercolor painting. Blank inside for your own message. Available in my Etsy shop - https://amellorwatercolors.etsy.com/listing/4465573829
This watercolor was inspired by memories of dressing up my (very unimpressed) childhood cat, especially for the holidays. Prints available in my shop — https://amellorwatercolors.etsy.com/listing/4465573829
Anyone else dress up their pets? I tortured my cats when I was young. Poor things probably never forgave me. I painted this in watercolor
This owl greeting card is a print from one of my original watercolor paintings. I love the whole process of creating a painting and turning it into a card. I hope this one can bring a little bit of autumn magic to whoever receives it.

Working on autumn designs for greeting cards.
Just sharing my latest watercolor spread. Snapshots of a field trip to Indian Hills — a fallen tree, large boulders, and a chill donkey.
I love taking photos of my day and creating a narrative out of them in my journal.
While the kids were busy on the play structure, checking out the farm animals, and exploring with their friends, this tree caught my fancy. So I snapped some quick pics for later. I also thought the replica village was charming.
I wanted to revamp a card I made for Pride a couple of years ago. I spent quite a bit of time on the drawing. It was definitely challenging. I’m super proud of myself.
I sell printed greeting cards on Etsy, and up until now my orders have mostly been 1-2 cards at a time, so I’ve been using a small rigid mailer that works great for that. Then someone ordered 5 cards in one go, and I realized my usual mailer isn’t going to cut it.
I know I could just size up to a bigger rigid mailer, but I’m curious how other card sellers handle this when it happens:
• Have you adjusted your listings (like adding quantity-based shipping) after something like this happened?
• Any packaging that’s worked well for holding a bigger stack of cards flat without them shifting around?
Would love to hear how you’ve dealt with this, especially if it’s caught you off guard too!

For my journaling process, I do some thumbnail sketches from my array of photos to figure out the page layout. From there, I sketch in pencil, then ink, then watercolor, then write. All this is done at home, where it’s quiet and dry 😆
