Whale Birthday Card

Today's card is a birthday card that features a whale.  The inspiration for this card came from a pair of J-Crew pants that have little whales.  The whale is floating on top of some waves and is blowing water out of its spout.  The words "Happy Birthday" appear above the water coming out of the whale's spout.  The inside of the card has the words "from your biggest fan!"  The back of the cards continues the waves from the front of the card.  You can find my Whale Birthday Card at my Etsy Shop.

Tomorrow's card is inspired by a trip that my husband and I took a few years ago.  It has an animal theme (of course!) and is my friend's favorite animal.  Come back tomorrow to see the new card design.

Ninja Cat Halloween Party Invitation Card

Here is my first holiday themed card design.  The card is an A2 folded Halloween invitation card featuring a Ninja Cat, spiders, and webs.  The inspiration for the Ninja Cat came from my husband who loves ninjas.  I hope you enjoy the spiders on the card.  I had to do some research on Google Images to find some real pictures of spiders so that the spiders would look just right on the card.  I felt like there was a spider crawling on me as I was drawing those spiders!  You can find my Ninja Cat Halloween Card at my Etsy Shop.

In my future posts, I plan on posting some of my photos in addition to my card designs.  I will use some of those photos as inspiration for my card designs.

Check back tomorrow for a ocean theme card.

Baby Elephant and Balloon Cards

As promised, here are my designs for today.  I created two baby elephant cards.  Both cards are A2 flat note cards.

The first card is an invitation card featuring a baby elephant holding some balloons in its trunk.  The baby elephant has just enough balloons to take off!  This card has the text "You're Invited" in the front.  The first card is sold as a pack of eight cards.

The second card is a note card featuring the baby elephant holding a colored balloon in its trunk.  The second card is sold as a pack of eight cards.  There are four colors of balloons in the pack, each color has two cards (2 blue balloon cards, two green balloon cards, two orange balloon cards, and two pink balloon cards).

Both elephant cards can be found at the Rat Dog Ink Etsy Shop.

The holiday season is coming soon.  So, check back tomorrow for some holiday cards.

Love Owls (A2 Flat Note Card)

It's Day 2 and I just posted a new card on my Etsy shop (Rat Dog Ink Etsy Shop).  I call it the "Love Owls" card.  The "Love Owls" card is an A2 (4 ¼” x 5 ½”) Flat Note Card featuring a boy owl and a girl owl sitting on a tree branch.  I adapted this card from a wedding save-the-date card I made for my friend.

Check back tomorrow to see the new cards that I'm working on.  It's back to the "baby" theme...

Lately "Baby" has been on my mind so I created a baby penguin (boy) and a baby penguin (girl) design. What do you guys think?

My goal for Rat Dog Ink is to create a new design every day. Can I do it?

Today is day 1 :)

Wish me luck!
