I am sooooo excited for today, because I finally get to share all sorts of holiday cards with you (along with a few any occasion cards). My shop is stocked with oodles of merriment. I know, Thanksgiving has not been celebrated yet, but with shipping timing and such, I wanted to share these as soon as possible.
All of my postcards include envelopes. I personally adore receiving postcards, as it's so easy to frame them, or stick them in a mood board. They are so lovely and convenient, which is why I carry so many in my shop.
So, without further adieu, let me introduce you to the new greeting goods at A Fanciful Twist Shop (you can see views of the card backs in my shop)…
Winter Wonderland Christmas
Season's Greetings Holiday Branch
Hello 2011 :)
(a calendar card)
The Magic of Christmas
Season's Greetings Sweet Swirls
The Magical Glass Box
Happy Holidays - Ginger Cake and Peppermint Treats
Twinkling Sparklers
And, as you can see, I just couldn't help myself…
So, below are some any occasion cards…
Luciana Caprice – Gatherer of Botanicals
Madonna and the Roses…
Pretty Things
Aaaaaand ~
Curiosities in the Apothecary Shop
Phew, that was fun ;)
These are so crisp and lovely in person. I know I have told you that before about other cards, but it's so hard to convey in photos, that I have to say it again 😉
Holiday 2010, stocked and in the shop, yay!
I hope you see a treat that tickles your fancy. I really loved creating these, and practically fainted with excitement ripping the box from the printer's open.
For now, I really need a jaunt outside, as I have been sitting here stocking the shopling with cards for 9 hours 😉
ps: One of the things I love the most most mostest in the world, is a written note. I hope some of these cards, might inspire a snail mail writing of your own. I do believe it's an art, don't you? And, I can't think of anything more timeless and delightful, than the joy of finding a little card or parcel in the mailbox. Stamps and all…
Ohh I do agree, the snail in me just loves old fashioned mail, and especially today when I have recieved a gift of lots of kiddies clothes but with no note or any indication of who they are from, so now not only do I have a pile of cute clothes….I also have a mystery to solve!!!
The cards are wonderful and bright with the new evolving spirit of Christmas, very much my style, so Im off to get a pack to send some special snail treats out to the world.
Thankyou Vanessa YAY!!!

These are wonderful! Yes, I agree completely about snail mail. It’s so exciting to receive! I just got a little package of an Etsy order today and I was so happy I started jumping up and down at the mailbox. Off to visit your shop now!
I love these Christmas cards, Vanessa! I think Christmas cards or notes are at least one thing that we still need to sit down and write.
oh, you! I send your cards all the time! and I just ordered some new ones to send! I always like seeing your new work.

Last year my Christmas cards were your Holiday Tea Party cards – I loved loved loved them and so did the recipients. In fact, one of my best friends, I noticed, still has it on her refrigerator as of a couple weeks ago. I think she must like it too. 🙂
I agree…handwritten notes are the bestest ever 😉 And your ‘Merry Christmas’ ones are my fav!!

They are lovely Vanessa. Again, you bring magic to everything you touch. I for one love personal mail… yes,stamps and all. It is such a simple, small thing. And it brings so much happiness to give them or receive.
Thanks for sharing…. and how exciting about the magazine project!! 3 cheers for Vanessa!

Oh, how beautiful. Love them.
I still send snail mail, too. I must have a pack of those for some extra special people.
I’ll order on Friday.
I’ve been teaching my granddaughter the joys of mail. She has a “pen pal” who is a friend of mine, they mail each other things all the time. She worked on her letter tonight but told me not to mail it yet because she has to write a story to go with it.(She says she’s going to be a writer when she grows up). She has a little cousin she mails to also. His replies to her are in the form of pictures, he dictates the writing to his mom. I love it. Wish more kids could do the same.
Love, Love, Love your cards, I also have some Holiday cards just made featuring all kinds of socks!
Vanessa, I just wanted to tell you about a magical giveaway from The Daily Witch on etsy…seemed right up your alley!
you can see more details here http://www.labonnefemme1.blogspot.com
I love your Chrismtas cards!! they’re very bright! I also love to send Xmas cards by snail mail 🙂
I can say from experience that Vanessa’s cards are so magical. I bought 2 card sets and a copy of one of her paper art pictures. It came with extra cards and book marks that are so precious. I’ll have to look at more of them. I’m already planning of framing the cards for Christmas display and maybe I’ll share with others. lol
Love the calendar ans sparkler cards
I love receiving mail…. I find it exciting as you dont know whats inside….. I’m making cards out of wooden hearts this year to be different, they can be kept instead of ending up in the bin…. loving your ideas as always…….. xxxx
**squeals of JoY** YIP YIP YIPPEEEE. More Vanessa magic. A shopling. I like that. Guess what, my beloved, I am almost ready to open my shopling! It is true! I shall be shopping in your shopling soonling. **blows kisses** Deb
The Christmas spirit is oozing out of your cards… They’re so magical… I too love receiving card in the mail… It’s just brings more warmth to the season… Now you’ve got me excited and I’ll have to visit you shop ( Ha Ha) ..Thanks for the peek.
I agree, hand written notes are the best! I love your postcards!
Wonderful, Vanessa!!!
Oh, how LOVELY they all are!!!! You have outdone yourself in the holiday magic department, Vanessa! 🙂 I DO love receiving handwritten notes – and cards. I never tire of lovely cards – especially during the holidays. 🙂 These are so truly magical. xoxo Theresa
Wonderful cards…I love getting them all year long. Mail is great no matter how you get it but, really love snail mail. there is always a suprise. Hope you have a wonderful day.
Beautiful cards, Vanessa! Stocking the shop for 9 hours must have gotten you in the mood to go traipsing through that beautiful still-gifting garden of yours. I hope you got in some good relaxation. : )
I’m more attracted to cards that have simple subjects or minimalist designs, which is why I find the Ginger Cake and Peppermint card and the Sparkler cards the most beautiful of the bunch! All your cards are wonderful though, and would make pretty coffee table or desk accents.
