Happy New Year! xo.

I may not celebrate Christmas, but I love, love celebrating the season. From the really over the top decor, the wintery warmth, the limited edition holiday drinks and food, to the cheesy music — and of course, all of the lights…this cool season makes me feel all warm and fuzzy, and makes me want to turn paper into bling. {Ok, maybe I feel like that year-round}

And I really, really wish I had a Christmas tree so I can glam/bling/embellish it up, but since I don’t — I took all that out on this holiday card.  The original concept was supposed to parallel with the season’s fashion trend of sequin dresses.  Instead of the glitter mount, it was supposed to be backed by  gold sequined fabric. That was a fail, after seeing the first prototype. In theory, it was a good idea. =| No worries, I still gots ton of gold sequined fabric, and I think I will have my tailor make me a dress like the Alice + Olivia one.  I get to match my cards =]

I’m working on my über sparkley dress, but in the meantime, I hope you find plenty of ways to sparkle and shine this season — with or without gold sequins…!

‘Tis the season to Sparkle & Shine — Here’s to a Holiday, that’s merry & divine. xoxo.

PD.

So his name may not be Rudolf…and he may not have a red nose, and more importantly, he’s not even a reindeer. All the while, I still want you to feel like you have a piece of a cozy Christmas in your hand when you receive {or give out} our Moose-Mix Holiday Card.

Our leather bound mounted card is supposed to make you feel like you want to snuggle next to the fireplace, roast marshmallows, and maybe a few chestnuts, and sip some hot chocolate…while staring at your moose or deer head mounts above, in a random cabin somewhere. If you don’t feel like this, then I fail as an artist, and in life, really.

The antique gold envelope with the antique gold double-sided satin ribbon was intended to add a little glam-chic to the contrasting woodsy design. Your personal note tucks neatly behind the ribbon.

So roast them chestnuts, open that fire, make some s’mores, and send out some warm wishes, with holiday kisses.

Happy Holidays =]

PD

PS: I drank BOTH those cups of hot chocolate after this photoshoot. I wanted to throw up…I hope you don’t feel that way after looking at these.

I love Flipboard’s magical curation style.
