About this Product
A handmade card is a gift in itself.
Main Color(s): green
Shaker card with sequins, gems, etc., that moves around
Size: 7" x 5.5", top fold
The inside of the card has coordinating color papers and is blank.
Front Sentiment? — I often don’t add a front sentiment so as not to restrict the use of the card. I will be happy to add a sentiment if you’d like.
You can choose from samples shown or request something of your own. See photos for samples. Choose "add a sentiment" when purchasing and let me know what you'd like added to the card. I may need to send you a picture of the card with a sentiment for approval, so be sure to check for messages
Please note that colors can vary in real life from what you or I am seeing on a computer or other device. They can be particularly brighter looking online due to the backlighting. The colors will be close, but may not be exact.
My cards are substantial and can be heavy, thick, dimensional, and of odd sizes. For this reason, it may cost more for you to mail them. An envelope made to fit the card will be included with your purchase. To protect any front embellishments and your card, I recommend mailing it in a padded envelope, within a package, or hand delivering it.
Elsi Reed
Meet the Maker
Naming my shop Elsi Reed is a nod to my little brother who passed away a few years ago. He was always a fan of my creativity and was particularly fond of my handmade greeting cards, often requesting special makes for his needs. His name isn't Elsi, nor is mine — we aren't even Reeds. One of the ways he liked to pass his time and socialize was playing online games. Playing these games from his home in Deer Isle, he used the moniker Elsi Reed. Deer Isle spelled backwards is Elsi Reed. Clever guy. I like to think he's still cheering me on from above.

How it’s Made
Cards start as plain cardstock and go from there.
Images are line art printed or stamped or die cut shapes and then colored by me. I use inks, markers and colored pencils to color with.
Finishing touches can be more ink, more die cuts, sequins, gems, etc.
